I was lucky enough to score a killer deal on an S-5 coil, (Thanks Jbow). I got the coil Wednsday, Yesterday was my first time using this coil. I was very pleased with the performance of this coil, I used it at a spot that has produced a few oldies, but was frustrating to hunt due to all the surface junk and zinc pennies. The depth of this coil is very good, the coil was super stable and allowed me to run the sens. higher than I normally can with an 8 inch coil, thus making it very comprable to the 8 inch coinsearch depthwise at this paticluar site. The S-5 was locking onto many targets so close together that the 8 inch would have just read them as one target, the sensitivity to small targets is great, the seperation is far and above anything I have ever seen, the take was 51 coins, with 8 being wheat pennies. The wheats were between 5 and 7 inches deep, with many of them being right next to zinc pennies, so I would have missed them with the 8 inch coil due to the fact that I dont dig zinc pennies and they were so close that with the 8 in. all you would see and hear was the zinc. I am in love with this coil and feel it is a great addition to any arsenal. the pictures show the total finds (with junk) some real small stuff that locked on great, and the wheats...thanks for looking ...If you want a real good coil that is capable of acctually cleaning out a spot then the S-5 is a must have coil.....
