Holy Cow - Sunray X-5 Stealth Mini Powerhouse

[lloyd0161]

Well I bought an X-5 off the classified forum which I had he opportunity to test this evening. Most of the sites I am able to hunt are loaded with iron and junk. I have to say this coil has exceeded my expectations. My first deep find was a copper Lincoln penny next to iron which kept nulling but the penny chirped enough from 90 degree angles to know something was there and the depth meter was bottomed out. Pinpointing revealed a narrow deep target by the sound. When I dug down to where the penny was my pro-pointer was completely below ground level by at least 2 inches. Sensitivity was on manual 30 and the detector was very stable. I found another fairly deep copper Lincoln in the same manner. This play field appears to have a lot of fill dirt since the pennies were down just above an old gravel layer. Next was a near surface coin spill with 2 quarters, 3 pennies and a dime. All coins were easily separated and recovered quickly with the pro-pointer and a screwdriver. This may become my favorite coil. Can't wait to try the coil at the park where I found two gold rings a few weeks ago.

I noticed today that the X-5 does false "high pitched chirp" over heavy iron where nulling occurs and the ID will peg in the upper right of smart screen. I seem to be able to sort this out from copper and silver items but annoying. I put the 6x8 sef on and went over the same area and this coil was more stable with almost no falsing. Is this normal? Suggested settings?

I love snooping around trash areas with a small coil.. Most people wont go in trash areas due to their BIG coils and not able to get between the trash and the treasure. I have found my best find ever with a Five inch coil.
