We opted to come home from boating and do a little detecting since it was so nice out and the ground is still ideal. I came home with 13 Wheat cents dating 1913-D to 58-D. The 1913-D is is pretty good shape. Then I also rescued a Junior G Man badge.

Oh, I used the DD coil 6x10 and I think I've got a new coil in my arsenal. Larry bought it for me last year, but I didn't give it enough practice. Well, after today I'll be keeping that on for my main coil. Sure can cherry pick with it. :lol: It's a "keeper".
 
I use the 6X12 allot as well. You can cover some ground and still separate targets. I got the Super 12 because I plan on hitting some spots in the country this summer and will need to really cover some ground. Also wanted it for the Chisholm Trail Hunt in October. If you want to travel a bit and do some detecting hop over to Treasurenet and check it out.

Gunnar, I'm new to using the 6x10 coil, so I really can't say. At the old house where we're detecting, the coins haven't been very deep at all. Some were at 5" and some were only 2-3" when I was using that coil. It had NO problem weeding out any of the targets. Sorry, but I can't help you. I have heard that it gets pretty deep.
 
I used it a few time too and got a good 8 inches or more with it. The depth meter will not be accurate and read deeper than it says it is. The meter showed 12 inches on a old brass key I found and a good audio too, but feel it was more like 8 inches down and with the Sun Ray probe it was easy to find. This is my wife's MXT and we have the stock coil which never get used and the 6X9 that is on it 90% of the time and the little 4X6 Mini shooter which is a great coil in trash and depth is unbelievable, first small coil I have seen to get this type of depth. With the 6X9 coil my wife has got a 1840 seated dime(Beat mine by 2 years) another guy plus me may have missed at one site we were at. She also got a 1848 Large cent which is unheard of up here in ND with that coil.
