well sent my RELIC back over seas to get it fixed up a bit my disc circuit had quit working on my last hunt back in November and hadn't a chance to send it til now so I can't to get it back and maybe some updates on it too, this machine and the gold have been my best machines to date on my best finds the relic loves indian head coins and flying eagles, 8khz and one tone but I use it for pasture land hunts and deep silver and the key is to use calrad or treasure wise cheap head phones for all the nuances the more expensive headphones you don't hear it believe it or not

The Relic seems underrated. I have used the Vista Relic and was impressed. In mid to low mineralization the Relic is as deep as the other Vista models. In my ground using the the round 11 DD coil and cheaper headphones I can pick out coins from foil. The Relic runs at 8 kHz and so does have a slower recovery speed than the higher frequency Smart or Gold (in fast mode). I like deep coins, but hate digging micro foil and deep shotgun pellets. The Relics frequency is the same as the Bliss, but the Relic has faster recovery. The Bliss is deeper in higher mineralization ground. The Relic is still good at pulling stuff out of iron..use a smaller coil, slow down, and lower disc. The Relic has also the benefits of Cache hunting. It is extremely deep in all metal and doesn't overload on big targets. WIth the 11DD coil it runs very smooth. In low trash the Sensitivity can be turned up with very little chatter. I tried running the Sensitivity on 1 (with low disc) and still dug more non-ferrous relics than higher price metal detectors.

in my experience in the coin world it loves IH pennies and brass

So true. The Relic also loves lead (bullets). IH pennies in general have a wide ID range depending on year, coin condition, and depth. For example, IH penny on a analog Whites machine have at least 20 numeric points of ID.
