9" Coil Continues to Shine!

It's hot almost everywhere in the country this week, so I decided to try out the good ole park at dusk for a couple hours. Have been using a deep-seeking 4 kHz program here for a couple of months now, and the coins just keep coming - somedays it's nothing but aluminum and deep nails for the first hour or two, and then suddenly you see a coin in the bottom of the hole - although the signal sounded like another beavertail. This 1894 S quarter was 9" deep and had a bad rust stain on both sides from a tack that was resting presumably with the coin.

Also picked up two 1918 D Wheats, separate holes, and a 1904 Indian cent - these coins came from about 8" deep and again were just pipsqueaks of a signal.

I think it's time to start using the non-motion audio disc mode for those deeper coins - there has to be some at the 10-12" level that are *just* out of reach at the moment....

With v4.0 just around the corner - I'm excited to see what it can do for those small aluminum targets - halves of beavertails and pieces of ring pulls - that seem to plague this place. If the upgrade includes finer adjustment of Reactivity...that would be a game-changer here!
 
Good hit Taylor. Yeah, hot and dry as a bone on most old ground here. We've had rain north, east and south, but it has all missed the older turf nearer the river. Good job on the Barber and I H. HH jim tn
 
Thanks Jim! I hit the Fairgrounds while I was in town last week...and pulled a 7" deep 1980 Memorial. I think you planted that one LOL :rofl:
 
11" coil should easily get you another inch maybe 2 inches on coins,,,will be sacrificing a bit of separation though.
 
so Taylor, do you think that 4K is going deeper than 12K with the same settings? Or if not deeper but better in some way? If you will give me/us your settings again too?
 
Nice find with a coin from the 1800's CZconnoisseur . I am still a new user on the XP Deus, but learning it every time I take her out, and from tip from the people on the forum.
 
waterdog your buddy is going to be crying when you learn that deus! The 4kh seems to be very sensitive emi to me .

Click to expand...

4K and 12K with the same settings will get coins at about the same depth except for U.S. nickels. 4K will eliminate deeper iron better, but on the fringes of detection I still get a lot of deep nails, tacks, square nails, etc.

Working on a non-motion mode that will ID ferrous vs non-ferrous a LOT better and a LOT deeper than a regular "motion" mode. More to come....
 
Nice Barber - congrats !
