I've been hunting an area that used to be a little fishing park next to a water treatment plant which was then bulldozed in the 1960s. It is absolutely loaded with deep iron--like fist sized bolts & nuts, railroad spikes, slabs of rusty tin, etc. combined with modern surface trash like small fishing sinkers and pulltabs. Normally I would avoid it as being too much of a pain, but hunting spots are precious these days. It's been very slow going, but using the RC13 OOR coil, I've been able to pick out about a dozen Mercury dimes, 20+ wheat cents, an Indian head penny, a couple of buffalo nickles and a V nickel. None have been deep, but a majority have come out of holes with iron either below or close to them. Like I will recover the coin, rescan the hole and there's a big piece of junk still deeper and to one side.
This particular dime was in the same hole as a wishbone looking piece of iron (maybe a spur holder?). The signal was a pretty jumpy, but it sounded very good in one direction and I kept seeing high 70s flash on the screen. The Makro Racer 2 with the OOR coil has been a killer combo at this site. IMO its unmasking ability is a game-changer.
