I took the 8 x 6 to my local hometown park that is hunted to death and was very pleased to say the least.The first thing I noticed was how quiet and stable it was with the sensitivity cranked up to 28 when this rocky soil only wanted to run at 12 to 15 in auto.
I found the 1905 V nickel in the first 10 min. at 5" in solid trash.I hunted for almost 4 hours before the rain got to heavy and ran me out or I would be hunting instead of posting.The 5 Indians were 3" to 5" deep and were loud and solid and also in the heavy trash along with the rest of the finds and the reason they were still there.The 1918s Merc was at a solid tape measured 6"+ and was a solid hit.
The wore out Barber quarter was about 6" and was a one way only hit next to big iron .It is worn thinner than a new dime! The arrow pin was about 5" and hit well.The Buffalo was only 3" but was it ever in some trash.
To say I am impressed so far would be an understatement .It way outperformed my 8" Minelab coil at this sight.As I said before this is rocky hilly sandstone ground and not much over 6" deep in this park including 128 years worth of junk.
I think I was impressed by the stability and lack of iron falsing at high sensitivity most of all so far but will need more time and several different areas to get full understanding of what it is capable of,Ray.
PS It also hits well on small items like the 2 small copper washers at over 3".
