Lovin' the 10.5 DD MF

[ramairnut]

Had some unusually warm weather today (56*) so I took advantage of it. I was hunting a trashy area at a local park that I have hunted many times. The ground was very wet, I had the sensitivity set at 19 and 99 tones on the 705. I got into an area that was concentrated with trash but as I swung over it, I got a faint "blip" of a high tone in between the trash signals. I went back over it much slower the second time and heard the same high tone a little bit better. I pinpointed with the 705 and pulled out the digger. I dug my plug and put the Garrett in the hole. As I got to the bottom of the hole, the PP was going nuts but I didn't see anything obvious. As I looked down in the hole I saw the edge of a coin but it was straight up; the coin was standing on its edge in the ground. Not only did the 705/DD coil single out the high tone but it saw the coin standing on end down 5-6". I am impressed and excited. I love this coil on the 705.

It is a really good coil.

So what kind of coin did you find?

10.5 MF DD coil is the only coil I have been using for the past 8 years

Oops, sorry. The coin was just a 1979 quarter. Strange thing about this park is that I have dug nickels and pennies from the 40s -70s but no dimes or quarters. I am still digging dimes and quarters at 5-8". Even if the park has been hunted by others just cherry pick'n for silver, there would not be all the quarters and dimes that I am still finding.

I had one on my 705, Vdi #'s were a lot more stable & depth was great. It was alittle nose heavy & not water proof, so I sold it.
Been kick-n myself ever since!

Never use the stock 9" the 10.5DD would be the only field coil that I use!!!

 

[runamuck]

I have been wanting to get one of the DD coils as my area GB around 14. I'm still using the stock 9" concentric and it seems to do OK but I have nothing to compare it to.
I take it the "MF" stands for 7.5 kHz?

I take it the "MF" stands for 7.5 kHz?

That is correct.
And Welcome aboard!
