As we all know,the FBS machines are not necessarily the fastest machines in the world. Well,how does one hunt in any of the trashy areas (heavy trash) and still make finds? The stock coil is useless in these areas. The Sunray X-8 is better and is a PHENOMENAL coil...where it belongs. The 5" coils are THE KEY to unlocking the garbage pits! I've made a bunch of finds in the last two weeks that aren't old silver coins,but they're coins. I've been in these areas with two different machines and multiple coils,the 5" coil is the only one that can give me a reliable "dig me" signal. One specific find was 2 copper Lincolns 7" down with some balled up small gauge wire. That's right,garbage AND deep,and it picked the pennies out without hesitation.
If you're impatient and have to "cover ground",the 5" coils won't be your friend. I'm tired of walking for miles and not finding anything,we have to be smarter than our predecessors to find what they didn't. That's with patience and the right tool. The coins are there,right under your nose. If you're running FBS I implore you to get a small coil such as this and go very slow,IF you want to clean up where others haven't. I have relatively little experience with the Explorer but this is an "a-ha" moment. I'm basically DONE hunting deep coins anymore until I get WAY more time and someone to show me the ropes,I haven't had much luck with that. Using the 5" Excelerator has opened a whole new door,and in I go....it's downright AMAZING!!!!
