I just got back from my Dailey Hunt. I did not find anything good today, but I did come to the conclusion that my DX-1 in line with the V3i does not like my SEF 8X6 coil. I started the place I am currently hunting with my 4X6 shooter and found so many coins I got tired of digging them. After I got most of them dug out I decided to go back with a deeper coil and see what I could find, so I took the SEF to give it a try. The SEF was very chatty and at times just unuseable. I lowered the Sensativity on RX and Discr to less than half and got the same thing. I raised my filters as high as they would go and still too chatty for me. I did notice I was right under some electrical wires. I decided to just get a good test. I drove back home and got my 6X10 Eclipse and went back to the same spot. I was able to run a 10 Band Pass filter with 75% Sensativity and still swing fairly quick. Found a bunch of clad coins mostly dimes but nothing old.
Yesterday I found a War Nickle a 1943D and a 1944 Wheat. The War Nickle showed up as a Zinc Penny. If I remember right it came in as a 58 at 6" down. I posted these in the Todays finds section but it was taken down. Not sure why except maybe I did not post a picture. A picture of a totally black coin did not seem sensible to me. I soaked it over night in Peroxide and it looks like this is as good as it will get.
Had to ammend this Post. Seems I did not look close enough. I thought this was a dime and it turns out to be a St Christopher
