We went to an Ohio town to visit relatives over the weekend.
I found spare time to visit a school Tot Lot fo about a 1/2 hour.
I hunted again with the small coil and in park mode.
Nothing spectacular found. 4 zincons and 3 Quarters and one tokin.
Two Quarters were deeper in the grass just outside the wood chips. it was a small coin spill 6-7" down.
I am noticing the small coil is very precise in locating objects.
By this I mean there is a smaller area under the coil where the target hits in comparison to other coils that I used with other detectors.
Example: I am swinging and I hear a good high pitched beep. To relocate where that came from I need to stop forward motion and retrace my previous swings until I zero in on that particular signal.
Not impossible but a little more work than perhaps a larger coil. The good part is once you find the center of the beep by swinging or pinpointing you dig one hole and find the object.
This also means your swing and tracking needs to cover all the surface areas or you might walk buy some object your coil hot spot did not go over.
Now that I am writing this I wonder if reactivity adjustment or Feild Mode may have an effect on the size of the sensing cone under the coil?
This feature should allow one to hunt closer to metal posts in the ground.
I will need to try the larger coil and field mode soon to compare the reaction.
I think a larger coil can give a proximity warning that something good is nearby and guide one a bit.
Am I making sense here?
