The GT with a Sun-Ray S-5 coil cleaned out all the clad I missed with the other detector with the big coil. I wish I could report silver or better but I cant today. Lots of uneven terrain, deep tire ruts, erosion, etc. The GT went right in and cleaned house. For now.... Next week it will start all over again with new dirt piles, asphalt, concrete, clumps of sod and grass, and bulldozers. I'll be in the mud. HH. Matt

I wanna see pictures!!! No, that's ok - I haven't posted any pics yet either, but I do find them to be helpful, even if only modern clad. Good to hear that the s-5 does such a good job though, I look forward to using mine in time. This weekend coming, I have two days off - and I intend to get out there for at least three of the four days I won't be working. Hope to post something at the time. Best of luck, and keep us posted.
Matt,my last was hunt was in a park that has been hunted at least 100 times.I"m digging all targets at this location and the keepers are hard to find.The park is close to home and choose to search here when I'm restrained for time,better than no hunt.Its good to experiment with different coils.Good post.Thanks Ron

Got a short story for you. I was hunting a mowed field and ended up getting a shallow large cent, some barber dimes, several indians, and a canadian silver half dime in one small 5 by 20 foot "strip" of land in the middle of that field. It was obvious at the time that the soil there was fill in that small spot, because with the machine I was using at the time I had to balance it right in that patch of ground or it wouldn't see the deeper ones of these coins. One day while I was hunting that patch a park worker came up and told me they had filled in ruts in that spot due to tractor work a year or two ago. Obviously that soil was from an old house's yard or something and thus the old coins were right there in that patch to be found. I was just lucky enough to find that shallow large cent, and then lucky enough to realize I had to ground balance right over that area to see the other coins in it. That's how different that soil was to the surrounding field, even those you couldn't tell due to the grass having grown. Luckily we don't have to worry about such ground balancing issues with our BBS machines.
