I got my cleansweep coil from Joe Thursday and knew I had to try that big ole boy out. Goio and I hit a beach east of Gary Saturday. This was really the first outing since last fall and I was ready to find it all. LOL. We hit the beach, me with the Big C and Goio with his Minelab SE. I swung that big ole coil for a while then changed arms and swung some more. The beach was really clean. There was very little trash and unfortunately very few coins. When I did hit a coin the tones were clear and with Joe's tutorial I could pinpoint to within 2 inches. Deepest target was a dime at 7 inches. I can tell that I will be using that coil ALOT! It allows you to cover so much ground. The thing I like the most is that it sings out just as loud on the heal as it does the middle and toe. After giving up on the beach we went to lunch then to a school that was built in 1910. It still had the playground equipment from what looked like the 40s. I changed coils back to the standard and went to swinging. OH MY GOODNESS!! There was a TON of iron there. Apparently they had filled the yard with iron slag and for the life of me I couldnt get a signal that wasnt masked by iron. I even turned my discrim to the right of pulltabs and still was getting iron hits. Greg wasnt having any better luck with his SE so we called it a day.
My thoughts on the clean sweep is if you have areas that are large and you wanna clean um out get a clean sweep. Parks, school yards,(not full of iron) soccer fields etc will be checked in no time. TMAN...
