I left the house at 5:45 A.M. drove 1 hr north and hit my first sweet spot that always produces Started off Great :thumbup: I got 2 rings, one brass and one gold plated costume that retails for $45 dollars a CZ earring and $3.05 in change in 1hr 20 min. Great start to the day right ? Then jumped to my second spot been dying for weeks to get there and try the pro in the water. Started detecting, hit a penny then went about ten feet further and she started to chatter, did an adjustment but kept getting worst then it happened EPIC FAIL :thumbdown: got so bad I couldnt detect havent even got the box wet but it was acting like it was wet. got out of the water shook the machine lightly and noticed water dripping from the 4"snipercoil took the coil off and it sounded like a snow globe on the inside. I found 2 small holes in the seal and since my big coil is screwed up and I havent got the new one in the mail yet, That ended my day:rant: my son in law was using my F-70 so I just let him detect and then we called it quits so i will have to do the other 3 parks I had mapped later . So Garrett your gettin another call on monday lol HH to all
 
Stryker that is some bad luck. 11" coil did the same thing on the F70 to me. I have gotten my AT Pro coil wet up to a few inches. I not much for water detecting. Get sea sick. You really did some good detecting in that short time. Hope you get coil/coils soon. How did the 4" coil work on land? HH ....Z
 
The sniper coil worked great on land everything I got , I got with the 4 inch coil today and I was swinging pretty fast because I wanted to get to the 2 nd spot but it was nailing targets and easy pinpointing so faster recovery.
 
Congrats on getting a lot of targets with that sniper coil. Too bad it had issues in the water. I have always had multiple coils for all my detectors, as they take a lot of beating and all makes of coils are subject to failure. If you detect often, you should consider coil covers. Garrett will look after you.:thumbup:
 
I might get covers but what is weird the big coil had a bad wire right out of the box and this is the second hunt with the sniper doesnt even have a scratch on it the holes are from where they sealed it like there was a air bubble in the epoxy
 
Good news 11 in coil will be here this thursday and should have new 4 in the following mon or tues can't wait to get back in the game !!!! Still got my back up though so not on the bench completely HH Stryker
