KellyCo's service was impeccable! My coil arrived at the local UPS facility which is 20 minutes from my house on Friday night. It sat in the UPS warehouse for 2 days. It went out for delivery at 6:45am this morning...it didn't get to my house until 11:30 today. UPS dropped the ball!
I put the coil on and took it for a spin around my yard right away. I wasn't too impressed at first, so I took it to a site that I have been over with 3 or 4 different metal detectors and about 7 or 8 different coils. Right away, I hit a nickel. I kept on moving through trash and was pretty impressed with the coil especially the way it picked nickels out. Banged hard on quarters that sometimes, when I put the coil on the ground for exact depth readings, give me an overload, so I thought it was a can until I dug it and found it to be a quarter. All of my numbers are pretty accurate and so is the depth reading. At first , I dug everything to see what was going on with the coil. After that, I hardly dug any trash because it always gave some kind of broken sound, crackle noise, something that would give it away that it was junk. I got fooled on a couple of beaver tails that read 20. My nickels read 18-20. Every coin has been in the ground since it has been made. The GND (Ground Phase Reading) were from 50-88. Coin and Jewelery mode, Relic mode, sensitivity from 9 to +2. One coin 7 inches, penny, and GND was 50. I need to try the coil out some more, because everything I found was from 0-4 inches, (except for that one penny). I need to see if anyone else using this is getting any depth. But, I was still impressed to see the coins that I found, because the area is really hard hit and it bangs good on nickels which means it will bang hard on gold rings. It ran a little bit scratchy, but like somebody said on the forum, if you lift it off the ground about an inch then it runs smooth. So, I don't want to say this is an evaluation, just my first opinion. I still have to try it out some more. I like it, I just need to see if I can get some more depth out of it. I don't know if there just wasn't any coins deep in those areas. Pictures shows what I found in a couple of hours with my new coil.[attachment 60272 6inEXcoilcoins.jpg]
