    9" LF coil

    To all you fans of the 9" LF coil my question is this. Do you use your stock coil at all once you put on the LF coil? What advantage do you have with owning both the 9" med and LF coil. I am asking because I want the LF coil really bad but money is kinda tight so I was thinking of selling the...

    Depth on a 6x10DD coil - M6

    What depth are you folks getting on a 6X10 DD coil for an M6? I just did an air test with a silver quarter in a 6" plastic container. I swept both slow and fast over the top of the container and wasn't getting any type of reading that I would dig in the field. Feedback greatly appreciated. Lambo

    Ghost targets??? - M6

    Still very new to this sport and my last few times out I have gotten solid, repeatable signals in the 70 to 84 range.

    Old Nickles???

    Sorry if this is a dumb question as I am brand new to MD'ng but why is it that I see a lot of finds on the forum for older dimes but hardly never older nickles? I read the forums for all the machines but you just don't see them.
