I had been searching for a round "CROSSFIRE" coil for the Scorp for over a year. I finally found one, and it looks like it has never been used before. A good indicator for used equipment for sure.
I hunted three different fields with it to see how it compares to the 5" x 10" coil.
I noticed the same pattern in all three fields, which was a softer tone, a little more depth, especially on deeper beaver tail pull tabs and I had to turn back the discrimination knob back one notch to match the same discrimination characteristics of the 5" x 10" coil. This coil would probably be the best of the bunch for relic hunting, as it gets better depth under the same conditions. It still maintains a sensitivity to tiny objects, so it will also be good for the gold fields. I am used to pinpointing off the toe of elliptical, so I tried it with this round coil. I placed a thin piece of black electrical tape on the front of the toe, and it made pin pointing much easier then pinpointing off the center.
I am going to continue using my 5" x 10" coil, as I love the quicker response and the sharper tones. I can pin point much easier off the 5" x 10" also.
The 8 1/2" Crossfire coil did find a nice pile of loot, and also banged hard on a 1968 silver dime....the last year they were produced. One can never have enough coils. :gr
And I also found more Coke Caps for lots of points for free merchandise.
Nice hunt!
Good clad haul!
Congrats on the silver!
I've got that 12.5" for it which is a great relic hunter and still very sensitive to small items.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy Hunting!
