We got an unexpected 55 degree day here in northeast Ohio and I was ready even if my body wasn't. My first handful of hunts with the Anfibio were limited to 5khz and that frequency was great except for the battery life. I was only getting about 6 hours using the low frequency. Today I used 14 khz and the battery was at least twice as long. Six hours of detecting and the battery was two bars down.
I hunt extremely trashy sites and I find three tones to be very stable and very deep when I get the sens over 90. My first six targets were all very deep coins with two being silver war nickels. Very strange to find two right off the bat. Both were as deep as my Garrett carrot. One of these nickels had two wheats stuck to it. I ended up with six wheats total and all were very deep. I ran out of gas after three hours and headed home. After a bite to eat, I got my second wind and headed to my local park.
Again three tone, 91 sens, 14khz, SAT off, and all settings at default. First target here was a 9 inch deep wheat. Minutes later I got a steady 70-71 and was expecting a zinc, but was surprised to see and Indian. On most of the deep coins, I will get no number, maybe a flash of a good number sometimes, but a weak, repeatable high tone. I was surprised that this Indian gave a good number even though it was about 7-8 inches deep. I ended the day at this spot with 4 wheats and 1 Indian along with 15 clad coins.
I really like this detector and will be getting a smaller concentric coil. Since most of the older coins I find seem to be in the 7 plus inch range, I am hopeful that one of the smaller concentrics can hit that deep.
