Hello folks/ I am new to this fraternity of like-mined folks. But not to our shared passion.That of unlocking history and collecting a small piece of it. Started with a whites w/out disc n the late 60's . Wore out a great x-100 compass from 1985 up till recently. Years ago i bought a 1260x from a friend it works great. But i like to hunt the fields of long abandoned towns and home steads.found many civil war relics and even a few derringers 2 of which were reduced to just bronze barrels they were still loaded with lead and powder!Love the old coins esp. the large cents.The 1st one i dug up i wondered what in hell it was. Illinois sent many soldiers to fight in all our wars esp. in the civil war old Abe was ours. So we have many buttons and such civil war items.In one plowed field that once held a old long gone Meth. church i found over 65+ war buttons many were plow damaged but what a thrill was! Sorry to be so long winded but i was wondering if was possible to a get a say 10 or 11or larger coil for this old-timer 1260x it has a 5 pin plug on it. I think it would help it a lot on depth. I could perhaps inquire with fishers but i've seen more savy and knowledge on this site with you folks and who knows maybe one of you has 12incher for sale (coil) i mean thanks in advance Gimper from Altamont
