Today I went to my local park to see if anything was left over from the weekend BBQ'ers...I decided to final try out my SS coil under the trees where there's a sea of bottle caps and junk..I set the MT at Pro zero and started to work the trashed out spots under the tree's..Over all I was there for 1hr and a half and walk away with almost a buck in clad and my deepest coin was a dime at 4''..I really like this coil for what it has to offer is these type of area's and conditions where my 8x11'' dd coil had problems...For the next few days with more time with super spinper coil I will have a full report and find pics..

Trashy areas often overwhelm large coils, especially on detectors that have a slower recovery time. Sniper coils are a real blessing under those circumstances.

I went to my local park for a few hr's in the early am to beat the heat..I've been hitting the trees with my AT Pro with the super sniper coil on it and found my first silver coin with a MD :headbang:..I was sweeping a good size bare spot under the tree's where there's ton's of pull tabs and screw caps...I was ready to pack it up and got a few signals in one spot and said to myself here's another screw cap let's dig it :laughing7:..After a 3.5'' dig and to my surprise it was some kind of silver coin and 1'' away was a bullet..I know this park has been pick thru many of times over the years..I would've never found this merc without the super sniper coil on it..I can't wait to go tomorrow in the same area and maybe someone skip another silver :laughing7:

I have a phrase to summarize the super sniper 4.5 inch coil... PAYS FOR ITSELF quickly! I literally purchased this sniper coil 2 days ago after seeing my buddy use it. Today I went back to a local park with lots of trash and researched the area...I found a silver ring from the 1950's as well as a silver 2 coin commemorative set from the Olympics (still in the case - albeit rusted one). Also found some clad coins. All items were found in less than 6 inches, but honestly, the lack of depth (no more than 6 inches) doesn't matter if you are able to find good objects that you missed before due to the larger coils getting confused. this coil also allows you to search fence lines and around trees easily.
