Just tried out the 4x6 DD coil. Wanted to hit an area just on the outskirts of a ball field but it was to busy for a couple games going on. A couple parks were real busy with folks. Weather is the big factor here - folks want out.
So I decided to hit a small school that has 3 tot lots. Didn't find a thing around the equipment - nothing! Someone must have really cleaned up the area. So I ran the sensitivity way down and tried popping the coil underneath the equipment and between the poles the best I could to see if I could pick something left. Whoever been cleaning up at least left me some foil, tabs, erasure holders, a valve stem cap, a couple whatzits, a lighter, $4.78 in clad, and a 1986 Jamaica 10c coin. It was in the rock hard dirt below the bark material. I think whoever been cleaning up the lots either wasn't able to work as close under the equipment, or wasn't popping on some signals left. It was tough somewhat.
Now here's the kicker - I took one of the grand daughters and her neighbor friend. While they were playing on the equipment I was detecting, the neighbor girl found $40.00 (2-twenties) wadded together up on a play platform
I told her "good for you" - yeah she had to rub it in all the way home
Anyway, I think the 4x6 did it's job under conditions that were not the best. I still want to get it out away from the tot lots in some trashy areas.
Here is the Jamaica coin - looks like I hit it chopping away in the rock hard dirt. Not much but besides the clad and stuff, the 4x6 was fun to try.
