Well the ground thawed just enough to hunt herr in ohio..so i loaded up and went to a soccer field that i have hunted hard for many years.. This was a high school football field from 1900 or so til the 1960's.. Found many oldies in this field... The f75ltd2 with 13" ultimate coil wasted no time ..first target a rosie dime from the 50's then a wheaty at over 8" ,, then i got a signal in the high 80's into the 90's but a huge iron grunt an inch or so to the right..i couldn't pinpoint due to iron target ...so i dug where better signal was stronger..i did not have my pinpointer on me cause im having pouches made and she needed my pointer for sizing...so after digging down the length of my lesche digger and seeing nothing i thought wtf a false?? Wave the coil over hole and nothing.. I was like are you kidding me..well i decided to dig a couple more inches and finally its out of the hole and a solid 91 on my display..i sat a min or two thinking of things it could be...then i started waving dirt and the first chunk i grabbed was it..i seen a nice silver rim sticking out..turns out to be a nice 1944 half dollar 
. I was more impressed with the depth of the coin.. Over a foot deep or right at anyway.. Signal was very good and clear and next to big iron..i dont know if ive ever dug silver that deep before..large cents yes but they bleed into soil... I dug some more wheaties and some other brass and copper at 8-10" with clear signals and an old ring with musical notes on it that sounded like it was near surface..depth meter said 8" but the signal was so loud and clear i almost walked past it thinking can...well it was at least 8" deep if not deeper.. It has faint gold chips on it so it must have been plated...very old ring... The ultimate coil is several inches deeper than stock in air tests and i bet in the dirt its is close to that.. Coil ran quiet just like stock..very very deep! Found very small targets very deep also. I could have hunted all day as this combo felt very balanced.. Now im sitting in my chair looking out the window watching the snow cover the ground..it snowed most of the night ;( i hate winter

..surely would have never been found by just about anybody...that kind of trophy is like getting a P&Y elk...What tones were you running to hear that silver ping right next to big iron?
