More Silver

[RLOH]

I hunted a spot that I havn't been to for a couple of years thinking it was all dryed up. I took the F75 with the small coil to a part of the park I have hunted the least. It is loaded with hot rocks and junk. I have avoided this spot with the other detectors I have used and thought the 75 would have problems here, but I was wrong. In a short time I dug 31 coins which included two silver dimes, three wheats, and a silver ring. I usually run the sens at 75 with the small coil, but I had it turned down to 50. One of the silver dimes was 7 inches deep and it was a good signal. I run the disc at 5 and and listen to all signals. Here is a question. When the disc is at 5, the detector is in a high gain mode. When I have a disc of 5, what happens to the sensitivity? Does the 5 disc setting over ride the sensitivity setting I have? I have always been confused on this situation. Anyways, the small coil is a terrific setup. I am finally getting use to the numbers and how foil and tabs react. I have been using 3h tone mode and I am digging tons of nickles. If I get a high tone with numbers from 31 to 34, it is a tab most of the time. If I get a high tone that is 27 to 30 it is a nickle. Not quite as good as the CZ's, but close and with more time, maybe equal. What is better than a Cz is the tremendous recovery speed in trash. I am finding coins as deep as any detector I have ever had and with the trash handling, it is the total package!

My impression is that it boosts whatever sensitivity setting you have it set at. I may be wrong. I almost exclusively coin hunt in the 3H tone mode. I get nickles in the 28-31 range. Over 31 it's usually a square tab. I will get some folded or bent pull tabs on occassion, but hey....what are you going to do. It happens. It does pull lots of nickles.

keep on diggin'

way to go rloh. Keep diggin um up. BTW this may be a stupid question but does silver coins have a different, lets say pitch, in 3H? I havent found one yet and am digging every solid tone I here and some that arent so good and was just wondering. TMAN...

The boost gain does not boost the trasmit signal of the coil, it boosts the receving signal "what you hear".

Tman silver coins give a nice sharp blip blip signal. Strong both ways. In my soil high 70s-low 80s on the vid
Here are some of my spring finds.

Nice finds EZ. So is it safe to say they dont quite sound like clad? I get solid tones on most clad, as a matter of fact I had my best day coin count wise this year. Found 79 coins for almost 6 bucks and 3 wheaties. TMAN...
