Good job pulltaber! I had my Tiger out for about 3 hours and found 16 akaline batteries (have found over 30 so far) and one penny. Win some, lose some I guess. And you are right don't put that baby in all metal unless you want to go REAL deep. I have a fresh (7 month old coin garden) and the Tiger (in all metal fast) will hit every 12" target. Now I don't mean it screams, but there is a noticeable change in threshold.

Yea tell me about it. When I had the 8

Hunting in disc mode for hours when you are not getting any targets can be a quiet, lonely, boring hunt.

sounds like my kinda machine, would have to wear a strap tho hitting a penny at 11 " is really good

For what it's worth, the 10.5 concentric coil on my land machines hits hard on dimes. How much smaller do you need? I think the idea that the larger coils miss small stuff is overstated.

Well said. Dime is pretty small target. I find plenty small stuff with stock 9X8 on the Golden

Oh yes, it will be an excellent combination, congrats!

I tried some land detecting with my Tiger yesterday. It is one deep beast. The problem is though that the disc on the Tiger has to turned up to 7 or higher to disc. out pulltabs and a lot of depth is lost with the disc. setting this high. In all metal mode it is crazy deep. I didn't hunt long becasue my trash to coin ratio would have been high at this park near a beach due to excessive pulltabs and I didn't want to dig the place all up for a couple of coins. I know the good stuff is deep because my Silver umax is only getting about 6 inches of depth there (with disc just past pulltab) which is where I am finding coins from the sixties. This is a sandy area and the old stuff is deep. The disc. on the Tiger is not like Tesoro's land machines and makes this detector not the best choice for using on land unless you want to dig for trash. I'm fine with that though because it is one hell of a water detector. I guess I need a deeper land detector.
