coil help

[gold panner]

I was just wondering If it is worth /possible to get a lower frequency coil for my gold bug. I am interested in doing more coin hunting then gold prospecting. I am mostly interested in older rec fields and cellar holes. I just did not know if it is worth trying to switch coils to try to get more depth or just get a new detector. After a year of detecting I have been through the learning curve with this detector and know it well, but can not help but feel that I am missing stuff on some of my sites. Most if not all coins that I find are zero to six inches, I can honestly say that I do not think that I have pulled a coin over six inches deep and I have some good permissions at mid to early 1800's sites. I also have never detected with anybody else so I have never seen if a different machine would preform better. Thanks for help. sorry to beat a dead horse.

Changing the coil on that Gold Bug will not change the frequency of the detector.

Changing the coil on that Gold Bug will not change the frequency of the detector.

have to agree, Trade it in for a model that good for coins

You need another machine. I suggest you look at the Garrett AT Pro; Tesoro Tejon; Makro Racer 2; Whites MXT; Fisher F75

The only machine I'm aware of that can change frequency by changing coils is the Minelab X-terra line.

Thanks for the input I guess it is time to research another machine.

The XP Deus can run on 4 distinct frequencies.
