I picked up the 17" coil during the January promotion, so it was free with the CTX. I put it on today, first time.

I am really impressed, I thought that it would be a hard unit to pinpoint with. I did not have any issues.

It isn't any fun on surface coins, but this is my go-to coil for deep coins.

I hunted for 1 1/2 hours today, at a site that has been hammered by me and others.


I pulled all targets shown here at 8" and below.

The dime was over 10" for sure, maybe 12".

I found a 1950 Rosie, a Buffalo nickel, can't see date, a 1943 War nickel, a 1946 nickel and a few other Jefferson nickels too hard to read.
Also found a tax token, lots of 12 guage head stamps.


It seemed like many of my targets were found on their side.

Great day, wished I had more time.

Happy hunting, enjoy the pics.

It really does. I have a TON of places to hit with it.

I just ran my usual program (Dr Tones) and very modest sensitivity, (Auto +3) and it was very stable.
