I went back to the site that I went to just a few posts down. There is a small 40X50 foot lot between 2 of the houses that is full of coins and iron. I went over part of it I had missed the other day with my 8" coil and pulled an 1882 IH and a few wheats. Then I moved on to other parts of the yard. I found a 1908 V-nickel, 1956 rosie dime and more wheats and mem pennies. Late in the day, I decided to put the 5" coil on my 3D and re-cover the small lot that produced the most stuff. Remember this lot has already been hit twice. Once by a Garrett 250 and by my 3D with 8" coil. It has also produced around 50 coins including 3 IHs and 2 silver dimes. I was amazed to pull 12 more coins out of there. <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> One of them was a 1900 IH that was only 1" deep. I have owned my 5" coil for 2 months and only had it on the machine once to test it out. I REALLY didn't think that it was going to pull anything out that my 8" didn't. I understand the theory of getting between the trash but never expected much of it. I was very happily surprised. I now have to go back to some of my other sites and re-hunt the good producing areas that are iron infested. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
