Spent 2 hours today at the ole "Silver Mine" Park testing my new 5x8 coil. Have to say I really like it for many reasons.

1. It's Lightweight.
2. Gets in tight spaces and under bushes and near fences easy.
3. No loss of depth
4. Found a 1951 penny in a trashy area I already hunted over 5 times. The iron separation is awesome.

Anyway, enough gab...on with the show! :hello2:

Normally women's' dresses, not too old based on oxidation

Nice finds, i would imagine the detector feels way better with that coil, because the stock coil makes it extremely nose heavy and unbalanced.
