well to start off ... I FOUND SILVER!!!! A 1948 Washington Quarter.
Keep in mind finding silver where I hunt (civil war relics in metro Atlanta) is very rare for me. Last silver was a 1964 Washington Quarter 2 years ago.
Did the 10 x 5 find it? yes. Would the stock coil on my 800 probably. It was only about 5 inches down. It gave off a rock solid 31 all the way around. thought it was a beer can top, got 2-3 of those. Raised my coil, signal faded like it should on a coin. So dug it.
Silver coins don't fool around when you uncover them they show their true colors that have not changed a bit since they were lost.
Found other clad and junk you can see in the pictures.
It was a 2 hour hunt. Easy on me since I have the 10 x 5 coil and Steve Detector's rod on my 800. I used tire out after 1 to 1.5 hours on the stock coil and rod on the 800 in the Ga heat and humidity
Also made a shovel much like Calabash digger's shovel that eliminated about 90% of the stooping, bending, kneeling when digging. It is a 39" hardwood handled shovel with a smaller shovel blade about 6" wide.
