Nice work! Yours are in much better condition than mine. A gentle baking soda rub actually brought out a tad more detail on the bust, but nothing else. Pretty smooth. I'd be interested to see how yours clean up if you do indeed clean them.

I love my AT Pro "hockey puck" coil. I use it while hunting curb strips. It can search right next to parked cars where the larger coils are useless.

You are really getting to be a coinmaster Billy. Those "V"s are a weak strike anyway. Like a SL or Buff, any one you can read a date on is good. HH Bud, Quindy.

I've been looking at that coil. Does it eliminate the over tone the 8 and the 5 give when near fence posts and large metallics etc?

I can't answer that. I just know that I've found things in the last few days that I've missed at least a dozen times with my other coil. It's worth it.

It only beeps on signals below the coil. Of course the trade off is limited depth.
