I have only owned my Pro for 3 weeks or so and as I use it more, I seem to keep finding older coins. Yesterday I drove 15 miles to an older fairgrounds only to find some sort of car show going on so I came back to my town to hunt. I rehunted a place where I found some mercs, wheats, and a Barber dime with my CZ6a last week. I was using the stock 9 and 1/2 inch coil and there was loads of trash. The first two targets were solid penny hits and they turned out to be old wheat pennies. I got a couple of clad coins and then I got a signal that read quarter in every direction. When I pinpointed, it showed 6 inches. Sure enough, it was a quarter at just about six inches and it was shining. A 1900 Barber quarter! I ended up with two more wheats before a crowd of people showed up and I left the area. I moved on to a place that I have not hunted much because of numerous shell casing from a reanactment. These shells show up as copper, but I decided to only dig anything over 4 inches deep to eliminate these targets. To answer Don's question on depth, this detector will hold it's own on depth. I found 4 more early teens wheats and 2 of them were an honest 8 inches deep. I am not an experienced xl user, but I noticed that the meter would waver slightly with these deeper coins. Also, the audio seemed to have a wee bit of static. I decided to dig because of the depth in pinpoint. I was half expecting some deep rusty iron, but I ended up with the wheat pennies. I don't seem to dig much deep rusty items with this detector which is great. With my CZ 6a, I have to sweep real slow, so the pro is much different with it's faster sweep speed. I guess this is something I have to get used to as I have owned many Fishers and Minelabs. This is a super accurate detector that I can now understand why people still rave about. R.L.
