Back @ the Spanish Trail with the R2 & OOR Coil

[Cal_Cobra]

Sadly in just a couple of weeks the weeds have taken over, so I lost 75% of my hunting grounds

I focused on the area that I last picked up a reale and a beautiful large Phoenix button from, and although the finds were sparse, it didn't disappoint!


This was the total take, more or less, minus a few pitched bullet casings

Right next to where I dug the PB I dug these two one piece cuff buttons, both with intact loops on the back. The stock coil didn't make a sound on these, and there is a bit of iron in this area (dug an awesome square nail spike kind of thing!). They're both marked "Treble Gilt" and something like "R&H.W.", cannot quite make out the initials, which are no doubt the button maker. I'd estimate these are late 1700's to early 1800's.

That little bronze/copper disc came in like a perfect coin signal, though for sure I had a penny or dime.....and that bronze round horse thingy sounded pretty darn good too.

Thanks for looking & HH,
Brian

Nice finds Brian, and yes Monte and I are experiencing the same problem, the grass is taking over our old sites and is getting tougher and tougher to detect. Will have to wait till July when they are dried up and wind blows them out.

What coil was you using this time ?

Hey Gregg,

The only problem with July is those darn rattlers!!

I was using the OOR coil on the R2, works VERY well with that little coil. I have to say it's hands down THE best small coil I've ever used on any machine, the depth and separation is

and the scary part is I know what that means or who that means.

that coil will become cultish are they still making it ??
