Wilson CoinSelect

[Arthur-Canada]

Here is an interesting observation.
Playing around with several of my detectors in my basement, because it is still snow covered and frozen outside.
Put a silver quarter on the concrete floor in my basement and started piling books on top and seeing which one went the deepest. Tried all these detectors...Tecknetics Mark 1, Whites Coinmaster 6000 Pro., Tesoro Compadre, Discovery Treasure Baron GoldTrax, Wilson Relic & Coin ll, Wilson CoinSelect, Deus with 9 x 6 HF coil, Minelab Equinox 800.
Guess which went the deepest? The Wilson CoinSelect...by over an inch...even at full DISC level!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is using the 7.5 inch coil. The 9 inch coil did not do as well.
That crazy Mr. Wilson (God rest his soul) was really on to something and who knows what we would have from him today nearly 30 years after his last model.

I have to say that is pretty impressive!
Being somewhat new to the hobby (20 years), I am not familiar with that brand of detector.

Here’s what they look like. Mr. Wilson did make good beep and dig detectors.

Had the Relic & Coin IV. Fantastic machine. But you know...there must be something better....
I really liked it.
Wilsons were hard to get here, ...so...

My Coin Select is slightly deeper than my Relic & Coin ll. I have used the CS about a 10th of the amount of times I have used the RC ll, but that might change this season. I'm after a gold coin, so going to spend a lot of time on my knees digging all solid deep signals.
