I hunted an old Church with a Cemetary Saturday and found these Coins.
I hunted it with a 4X6 Shooter. It ran great and I got good Depth.
I went back Sunday with the idea to use a deeper Coil and cover more ground. I did not take my 4X6 Shooter but took my 8X6 SEF. Using the same settings my SEF would not run. I tried lowering Sensativity on Discriminate and RX nothing seemed to help. I jacked around with it for a long time and at one point I noticed it would not even pick up a Dime on the surface. I went over a lot of prime ground knowing my Detector was running very poorly.
This is when it occurred to me to change the Filter settings. My filter was set on 7 High Pass for the Shooter and I changed it to 10 Band Pass. This seemed to help but it was still Chattering like a Gay Chipmonk. I then changed it to a 12.5 Band Pass to find that it was running smooth, quiet, and deep. I was hitting Dimes between 8 and 9 inches. I guess it has to do with swing speed but I was completely satisfied after selecting that filter.
I didn't find anything worth mentioning Sunday but I was satisfied that I did not miss anything once my detector was setup right. Thinking about trying the 10X6 Eclipse. Anybody had experience with it on the V3i?

Right now I don't have a 6x10 but I have owned them. I never thought the 6x10 was a depth monster but it seperates well. On the Whites forum the 6x10 is a favorite of many users.
