Racer Scores a Merc

[cjc]

Wouldn't have given much for what I though was left in this section of park but the Racer came though. Won't name names but I have worked it very hard many times.. Really getting some accuracy now by:
-looking for targets that have something left on the cross-sweep or even a lessor angle. Probably missing a few this way but it's working for now.
-staying off the "94's"(when silver hunting) something corroded or with steel although a closely masked silver or a copper coin is possible.
-nice narrow all-metal (PP) tone--fainter the better. If it ratchets down to a clipped sound it is likely too big.
-initial tone with good extension.
Merc came right up to "90" whereas the coppers stay down at "84/5/6" although not all solver does.
Merc's a '43 and a Canadian 36 nickel.

Nice find Clive, What coil were you using? Almost finished with your Racer book. Lots of good info in there!

Tom I was using the stock coil--its surprising what you can do with it if you hover around the groups of signals and listen really hard. I keep packing the small one (5.5) but don't wind up needing it! That will be a next layer of deep coins hopefully. Glad you like the book--agonized over it for quite a while--still agonizing --every time I spot a typo.

I have a "hunted out" spot I've used the stock and 5" OOR coil at on my Racer. I go slow and check any signal, even iron, from all angles to see if I can get a higher tone or TID that will jump into the "good range" doing the Minelab wiggle that I learned on my old Sovereign. If there's a non-ferrous target there, I can work up a good signal.
