June 17th I got me a first

[Giant056]

I've been want to find a 3 cent nickel for a long time now, I've found 2 silver ones but this is my first nickel one. It VDI'd 8 and was very deep in a hammered park on the other side of town. I was using the D2 and I don't think any other coil I have would have found it. Too bad about the punch holes but them are the breaks, I'm still very happy with this find. Since I bought my D2 coil it's opened up all them spots that have been hammered. I remember the first time that I went out with the coil early this year, the spot that I was at had sounds I'd never heard before.

I was running the gain at +1, couldn't go any high cause there was some EM interference, if I could have I would have had it maxed out. The D2 coil is identical to the stock coil that comes on the White V3, it's a 10" round DD coil. I bought it in December last year but wasn't able to use it till the snow melted in February and the first time out I knew it was going to tear up my super 12 which it does on my MXT, the 12 goes as deep or maybe a little deeper but no where near as good on VDI and depth as the D2, the D2 is unbelievable for pinpointing and just as light as a stock coil, I can hunt for hours on end with no fatigue whatsoever.
