<tr><td>For my first outing with the M6 I decided on this bay beach tidal zone that I detected with my X-Terra 50 the day before. There is at least 1/2" of black sand on top of regular sand here. Also buried is much heavily rusted iron - from nails to engine parts. I did my best to cover the exact same area to see what the XT50 missed. Then I brought the M6 back here the next day for a short time, continuing from where I'd left off and working into some "fresh" black sand (out of picture to the left).</td></tr>

<tr><td>On the second M6 outing I found some of the black sand to be very deep. This hole was dug to show the worst layer of black sand I encountered which is over 2" thick. The M6 did find coins here.</td></tr>

<tr><td>Yes, the black sand is magnetic.</td></tr>

<tr><td>Both detectors handled the black sand well and both found coins up to about 6" deep. About 2/3 of the M6 finds were from the area previously covered with the XT50. I was able to work the 6 x 10 M6 coil in between and closer to the surface cobblestones where I found many of the coins. I raised the XT50 coil to clear the stones which probably accounts for some of the misses. With a DD coil on the XT50 it may have been a slightly different story, but the M6 sure can find coins. I did dig a two bent 16d nails and one 1/2 x 5" rusted bolt early on, but learned to distinguish iron from the coins as I gained some experience with the M6. The disc. was set below the #1 preset mark, sens. at about 75, and I hunted with tones 90% of the time (trigger forward). </td></tr>

<tr><td>My wife and I drove to the mountains for some hiking and a couple hours detecting a campground. I used the M6 and in addition to $3.57 in clad and a few pieces of cheap jewelry, found a 1955 silver dime and a 1941 Mexican 1 centavo coin.</td></tr>
