Rushed home after work and packed up ONLY my ACE 150 with the sniper. Purpose.....To work the briers and the brambles in an area I haven't hunted this year. That sniper coil managed to get into places that my other coils just couldn't because of the density of the bushes. My sniper coil performed flawlessly! I got some coins and a ring.

I couldn't have done it without that sniper coil. :)

Here's a closeup of the 1949 + 1964 silver dimes plus a fine looking ring surrounded with Roman numerals 1 to 12.

Another week and my snow hunts will probably end......:blink:

Great finds, nice ring.
 
That is awesome. You scored some good loot.
 
are the sniper and the larger coil by Garrett "plug and play" or is there any calibration that needs to be done when the coil is changed? great finds! our short lived 6 inches of snow was gone in 24 hours here.
 
It goes down an easy 6 inches on a coin sized object in good soil with the sensitivity maxed out. And it runs stable too with the sensitivity up so high.
 
You just unplug one coil and plug in the next coil. There is no tuning to do. But you have to order coils built for each model.example....ACE coils will not work on GTI 1500 detectors.

so you need to have sensitivity all the way up? I thought that was not good? I normally run the normal coil with only 3 bars
 
As a rule of thumb...the larger the coil, the less sensitivity you can run it at. being that the sniper coil is so small, you can usually run it with the sensitivity wide open. Of course that depends on your soil conditions too. If you have a high mineralization in your soil, you may have to back off on the sensitivity somewhat. Always run a detector as high as possible with the sensitivity without it getting too unstable to get the maximum usage out of it,
 
I turn the sensitivity as high as I can with out fasing.
It is like using your head lights in the fog. High beam goes farther except when the fog reflects it back. Then the low beam's will penetrate the fog better. The fog represents ground mineralization. Too high and the signal will reflect back and you get fasing.
 
Easy....start with the highest sensitivity. and start swinging the coil normally on the ground...too unstable? Go back another notch on the sensitivity setting. Repeat this until the detector runs smooth.
