1882 indian in VF condition of of nail hill

[kaolinwasher]

Today i did some testing with the ORX and the HF 9" coil in 13.3 KHZ on an 8" dime a 6" dime and a 7" penny in ground , and experimented and kept changing things and observing and found i got the best hit on the targets at coin fast with a reaction of 2.5, and 13.3 KHZ 80 gain, the 80 gain was because higher in this mineralized sand chokes the signal well after all that testing i got up to the hill of many nails and started swinging, i dug several flat irons and cut nails , but then i got a nice two way signal and dug down a solid 7" and up comes a VF 1882 indian head penny . the soil hear is kind to copper but i was just thrilled the ORX really came thru even as a coin hunter in fact this is the 1st coin off this hill with any detector

Nice going Gunnar!!! Your soil IS very kind to your copper!! You did the perfect thing by planting your coin garden. You found a winning combo for your soil and it paid off with a beautiful IH cent !!

Jim the regular deus control box would have even done better in pitch mode, Now I am detecting like Jimmy in CT
