5 inch Excellerator coil find

[MXT Man]

The item is not much but was found 7 inches deep with the 5 inch Accelerator coil. I was testing it for depth and was surprised to find several clad coins at 6 to 8 inches deep. I believe I will use it more in junky areas. The stone is glass and the finish is plated silver. I also found a piece of iron 1.75X.5X.25 inches at the depth of my X1 pinpointer which is about nine inches. It rang up as silver. The depth scale was clear below the bottom on several finds but could still be pinpointed on the coil. The detector was an Explorer SE.

Nice coil isn't it? I use mine in iron infested areas and snipe coins out. It's definitely not as deep seeking as the 10.5" coil but when you don't have any other choice it comes in handy. Plus pinpointing is a snap and it takes a lot of weight off the detector.

You are right on all accounts. Most of my silver finds are from 5 to 8 inches so I should do good with the coil. That is if the soil is nice and moist. Here is a photo of the iron I found at 9 inches. I think the big halo around it helped the coil to find it. The iron was only 1 3/4 X 1/2 X 1/4 inches in size.
