Well this was my 2nd actual full hunt with the SEF 10 x 12 coil...and again it performed well for me. I didn't find any old silver...or any big silver...but 7 silver coins...13 wheaties...and an injun...all in 7 hours....is a super day for me. :thumbsup: Plus...one of the wheaties is a semi-key 1915-S...and looks nice. :icon_sunny:
Funny thing is that some days this pounded park produces a hot area...and other days I'll wander for 3 hours and find absolutely nothing...and I mean nothing. ;D
I still LOVE my 1050 coil...but this 10 x 12 really separates well for me and obviously has no problem pulling out keeper coins for me from very pounded sites....and from pretty impressive depths. Each and every coin I found today came from at least 7" ...and many came from the 8" to 9" range. At least half of the coins found were very close to trash.....yet the coil gave me a nice strong coin signal....separate from the trash signal. I can run it at whatever sensitivity I want...but continue to stick at my comfort zone. :tongue3:

This coil is a very hot coil...and goes plenty deep...and again you can run it as hot as you want without any falsing whatsoever. To me though...nails start to sound too good when I go past my comfort zone on sensitivity and iron mask. That holds true with ANY coil I hunt with. :wink:

Thanks for viewing and good luck on your next hunt.

Bryce, you did it again!!

That coil is proving to be a real winner. I don't think you'll be taking it off anytime soon. Same for my SE Pro coil.

You're right about being in your comfort zone for sensitivity. Even though my Pro coil can handle a higher sensitivity setting, I like the sens. I'm more comfortable and confident with. Besides, all the iron starts to sound better too at the higher settings. Not beneficial.

Congrats on another fine, fine day there! Have you reached 100 silver so far this year?

Thanks Dan. I don't think I'm near 100 yet...cause I've had a few hunts with only one silver...but they were biggies...walker...barber halves...morgan dollar...etc. ...but I'm really not keeping track just yet. When the hunting season gets a month or so longer...I'll start wonderin' where I stand. I truly never thought I'd have even a chance at 100 this year...cause I'm hunting the exact same 3 or 4 parks as last year...but it's been an amazing year and I have no doubt I'll hit it. I just can't believe I'm finding what I am in these worked to death spots. It's been fun so far.

Yeah, me too. I never thought I could continue to pull almost 200 so far from the same parks I was working to death last year. It's not like we have a sub-surface frost here in S. CA that turns the ground over each year. ;D My buddies have been getting their share too when they hunt with me. One of these years to come, I will be scrounging for 1 silver, but I hope it doesn't arrive too soon. Maybe by then, someone will make a machine that will find dimes at 15". ;D I'm not sure I'll be physically able to get them out of the ground by that time though. :'(

Very nice day :thumbsup: . . . a silver coin per hour average, I would take that anyday ;D So none of those were iffy? Sounds like your saying this new coil is giving clear signals on coins at 8"+ :o That's amazing! I agree with Plehbah, I get just as jazzed about finding a wheatback as I do most any other silver coin.

If you think about it . . . as slow as you detect, that park probably really has not been fully detected by you yet :)
