Civil war relics with my G2

[Digger70pa]

I got out the other day relic hunting. I wanted to run my G2 in hot ground & see what it could do. I knew relics were there from hunting it with a pulse machine. We'll it did pretty darn well like it always does.

Thanks buddy.

So, curious why the switch on machines better disc?

Probably a lot less weight but of course not the depth. Better audio than my experience with minelab. Very desicive

Nice finds open field may I ask? How many bars on the g2. Average of course?

Thanks. To the top or just shy of the FE graph. Everywhere I hunt civil war relics is highly mineralized ground. I think that's why the stuff is still there. The G2 is a fast machine so I can run around til I find a patch & go back with a pulse machine. I can then wade into it & clean up. I use for any kind of field. It's a great light machine. I do use aftermarket coils though. 13: ultimate & 15" attack coils. They give more depth & coverage.

Mine is half to 3/4 . Still doesn't fail to iron good machine . Using as a scout makes sense light and loves lead a 58 or 59 you got one.

Do the numbers change when using an after market coil 57 to 59 for lead

That's what I use it for now.

If a target flashes numbers in the mid 70's it's usually a civil war bullet. I haven't used the 11" coil in years. It quit working when I dunked it in water. I use the 13" ultimate & 15" attack coils. The 15" coil is deep.

I never experienced that. I will hunt another patch that might yield some. 57 to 59 for me. How many bars due you display I am mid level. Could be due to the amount of iron oxides in the soil. I hunt the woods so no open fields . The amount of leaves that has fallen over the years makes a difference. Never got to hunt a wide open field and I am sure due to the red soil. I guess it might change the refraction of the signal that is returned. Pretty much black dirt till a clay layer that is Grey and stinks . All decomposing layers of foliage over the last 160 years. Of course that is with the gold bug same as the g2. Same detector .

Could also be due to a different coil . The numbers showing up differently. I have to keep it light age has taken over
