well i got my mars tiger coil from a friend yesterday as he's selling his machine ,so got a super deal on a 4 week old coil . first impressions are its extremely well built ,doesn't need a coil cover and feels robust when on .
i managed a hour between showers with the combo today ,on fresh cut wheat stubble a few inches high ,the machine ground balanced as normal and right away i could tell it was running more stable ,a lot of the cracks ,fizzle and pop noises are reduced to low levels till you turn the sensitivity right up high 90+ ,the good targets are coming though with a nice high tone to .its far to early to make any claims of increased depth but i was certainly pulling up some small buttons after about half a hour i got a lovely little ping and dug out a clod thinking it was another small button and up popped a lovely queen elizabeth 1st hammered three farthings coil ,this is extremely tiny and thin and is a total confidence builder in both machine and coil and is the 5th silver coin in 6 trips .
for the benefit of our american cousins its a half a inch diameter and wafer thin .dated to circa 1582 a.d
