5.3 Coil
- Thread starter butch
- Start date
I've heard that attaching a propane bottle, and a flame thrower helps. 
Actually I had a chance to try the 5.3 coil out in another texas park yesterday while on a business trip. Wow does it work nice, I really like the separation in trashy areas. I had covered an area with the D2 coil and it was just so trashy I was having trouble separating targets, so the second day I went over the same area with the 5.3 coil, and found all those little coins mixed with the trash. Picked up a couple wheaties in the midst of all that trash even. Now what I need is a pulltab extractor so I don't have to dig those darned things in hopes of some gold. That grass in those texas parks is tough stuff, even using a lesche tool it was tough cutting those tendrils. Made me think twice about digging questionable targets.

Thought I would share what I found in that Texas park (a couple snow balls). I know the previous week they had about 12 inches, and this is all that was left. But that little 5.3 coil worked very nicely in this park. (it was full of pulltabs of every type) I dug a lot of them just to see what I was hitting for VDI numbers, and to help me learn more about the V3 in general. Also working on correlating Analysis screen with various pulltabs at varying depths. One strategy that I used in this particular park was to head to the picnic areas and rather than working around the tables, head to the outer edges of the area (in this case along a deep drainage ditch, and a lot of leaves, brush) I was rewarded with a couple wheaties, and found a few dimes (not silver ) in close to the base of the tree's. (which the coil worked exceptionally well for) Then I headed out onto the baseball fields for a little reconaisance, and found a few coin spills. I did hit some really deep targets registering about 8-10 inches, but decided not to dig them as I didn't want to mess up the pretty fields. (even though I'm very careful about my plugs, sometimes it's worth it to just leave it)
