Hi Jerry,
I just finished a field test of the X-12 Explorer coil. I took it to a number of old camps and Battle of Nashville sites. I am doing a field test report which I will post here very soon along with pics. I have been very impressed with this new coil. It is light weight and easy to swing. I was very satisfied with how sensitive it was to small targets (small caliber pistol bullets) and it discriminated iron nails with ease. My most impressive (to me) find was a ground burst 12 pndr Cannonball. I had dug a fragment of it 11 years ago at a depth of 7-8 inches and didn't receive any further signal when I rechecked my hole. The X-12 gave me a deep, smooth tone (I was testing all metal) when I passed over the area. I pinpointed and at depths of 12-18 inches, I retrieved the Borman fuse, underplug, two hand fulls of lead "case shot" and more than half the Cannonball fragments. I'll post the pics and details soon. I didn't have the new solid skid plate which would have helped keep the snags out of the coil, however they now come with the X-12 (solid and open) for a limited time. I can't wait to try the S-12 on my Sovereign. Good hunting, David @ Dixie
