10.5 spider on 1270

do you recommand to use the 10.5" spider coil on 1270?
is there any disadvantage of it?

for coins as i heard the smaller coil is better for some reason.

Maybe some folks may believe that, but I never saw a differene. I'll agree it's some extra weight, but use those big coils alot in large open fields & non-trash places. Or for relic hunting for maybe gaining a couple more inches...
Love that bronze age wristlet by the way! I have a bronze age axe. Please post more if you can.
Later,
Bill

Your right the Native Americans were still mostly stone tools in my area (but my friend has found some nice "copper culture" BC artefacts in Wisconsin area).
I found this detecting in Great Britian.....1250 BC.
Wow nice coins! That's what I wanted to see You should do treasure tours in Hungary

yeah this is a real bronze age axe.
mine was different though
mine was looks like a jog or a jar.
it got ear what they used to knit the rope on what fixed the axe on the stick.i dont have picture of my every find but yes hungary is rich in history and finds and not too many detector user.
you might take a tour here!maybe its gonna be better than england but you have to hide your finds on at the airport!

Hey Bill Native Americans had copper tools and implements as early as 6000 BC. That predates the Bronze Age by a couple thousand years!<p><center>COPPER CULTURE AWL<p><center>[attachment 47660 awl.jpg]

i will ask my friend at the museum but the fact is:
when white people got to north america all the arrows spears knifes axes were made of rocks and bones.
correct me if im wrong!

 

[Bill Ladd]

had to edit tha tpost!
I was just goin' along with what sling said, and looking at it from how it was in my area, as all I have ever found here are stone tools. I've never detected copper here & obvioulsy didn't know the age of "copper culture". Wow that's old! I sorta had in my mind that copper stuff was like contact period.....
Silly me.......guess, I should stick to topics I know more about like Colonial
Thanks for the correction & showing that though.......copper culture stuff is fasinating to me. Almost better than spending a fortune going to the UK & hoping for a bronze age find, which is super rare.....

the expert of the museum says the indians in north america
used the copper only for jewel and few very small tool like needle.
but untill europians got here no any serious tools were made of metal
like hammer axe spear knife.they didnt have smith.

Give your expert this link.

Copper Culture

i gave you the emailaddress
but why indians returned to the rock then?????????
because the early settlers didnt even see a copper nife!!!!!!!!!!!!
they might tought the rock is better????
or their copper spears were even worse than you can make of rock???
kind of funny for me!
