6 Inch Concentric Coil

[RLOH]

Yesterday morning I was up at daylight to detect a the lawn in front of a hundred year old pavillion. I had to go early as there are many people who walk and feed the birds in this area. There are way too many people around on a nice spring day. I took a section that was about 70 feet by 30 feet and went as slow as the small coil would allow. In the about two hours it took, I found 58 coins, four wheat pennies, one silver ring, and one ornate silver cross minus the chain. There was more junk in here than any spot I ever hunted, but the coil really performed. Deepest coin I found was about 4 inches. I can hit a silver dime in my test garden at 6 inches. I really though I would find some silver coins hiding in the trash. One thing I found about the coil, is you must keep sweeping until the target is exactly centered or you will get some numbers and tones out of wack. It is a very sensitive coil. I found no need to use the pinpoint button, just slow down and shorten your sweeps. I did a small test later yesterday. I layed three coins in a row two inches apart. If I swept too fast, sweeping in the same direction the coins were layed out, I could not get a high beep on all of them. If I turned 90 degrees and swept over them one at a time, I could get a signal. If I slowed my sweep speed down by half, I could read them all in every direction. I would bet the small DD coil could separate them in all directions. I hope I didn't confuse you with my explaination of this test. Well anyways, the small coil is a keeper and everyone should have one. R.L.

I'm sure the small DD coil has a little better separation, but I'm thrilled with the concentric. Works for me.

I have the 6" 18.75 DD coil and it too does a fantastic job of separation in the trashy areas. Some of the areas that I tried to hunt with the stock coil were next to impossible. The smaller coil really makes a huge difference in finding the good targets among the trash. I kick myself for not getting the smaller coil right away. At least it gave me an excuse to go back a search the areas again (like I really need an excuse). I orderer the 10.5 7.5khz DD coil. It will be here Friday. Now I have another excuse to go back to those same areas to find the deeper coins. Looks like I'm running out of excuses for not getting more finds . You will enjoy the 6" coil. Let us know what you find.
Now if my work just didn't get in the way of my detecting.........

Good hunting, John K
