I know I LOVE mine! I just took it to the beanfield next door today, and dug a coin that predates the settling of this area. An 1832 Half Cent.

Found a quarter today, a good one, but I still need to spend some time with this Coil.

The biggest thing, is to slow down enough. It's awfully easy to swing that little puck too fast. And it's HOT too! So cranking the whole mess up to max can actually hurt your hunt.
It should be stable. And if it's not, slow down first, reduce SENS second.

Yeah it's working good. I'm sure there was some Pilot Error involved. The slow down really makes a guy work an area thoroughly. I was at times on 15 sensitivity and always on the All Metals mode. I'll get some pics of the finds when I get back from cutting wood . Thanks for all the help!

I just got stoked reading this thread. I hunted an old house yard today with my 705 that I hunted a year ago and pulled several wheats and a buffalo nickel. I was frustrated then and even more so today because the level of iron and trash in this yard is crazy...100 year old house!! I know there is silver there!!! This coil I think is what I would need for such places........I know what I'm getting:laughing7:

Rooster, try that spot again with the same coil but slow it do more. I have used the standard coil in areas like that and if it was actually junk or iron i the ground I found that if I slowed my swing down, I got fewer false signals. I still have to remind myself to slow the swing down in certain areas.
