Well, during the war in 1808 against the Russians who tried to invade Finland at the time, the Swedish soldiers set up cannons and troops in a forest hilltop, where they could effectifully bombard the nearby waterway, so we hunted the nearby forest area and found plenty of things.

Almost all musketballs where at least at 7-8 inches, buttons where at least 4-6 inches. X-terra 70 was in 2 tones, all metal mode, sensitivity 28, threshold at 5, track and headphones and i used the stock coil. Almost all the musketball signals where bouncy id numbers, but if the id numbers where positive, i dug the target up. Trash in that place was almost non-existend so it was easy sailing.

We returned at the place in the same day with two Golden mask 3 detectors and i found 12 musketballs that almost all where well over 9 inches, musketballs where found in same places i hunted with the X-terra with the stock coil, i am sure that a larger x-terra 10.5" dd coil would have been better at getting those deeper targets.

Here is a poor quality cellphone picture of the area we hunted:
