Park Land & Grass...

[CRUSADER]

I'm still trying to get the best out of my 11" coil & the next place I wanted to try was unploughed Park Land at the rear of an 18th C Manor House. It was an area where I had a Gold Half Guinea & I wanted to make sure nothing else was deeper. After 1 hour I only had 3 coppers, so I moved the the next field that was only turned to grass this year (previously ploughed but heavily detected).
After 2.5 hours (1.5 on the next field), I only managed 1 scrappy Roman Coin. I did however learn a lot about the settings & I think I'm getting somewhere.
Dad did 45 minutes but only had the Lead Weight.

I know that it doesn't seem like much by your standards but still impressive finds

Its not all about the finds, although I like to focus on them, it was a great learning experience, & I need this to understand the machine/coil. The best time to experiment is when it has the least effect on productivity & this time of the year IS the time to try. Come harvest time I want to be 'on game'.

Hello Cru, what's the depth like with the 11 inch coil ?.

Hello Cru, what's the depth like with the 11 inch coil ?.
Robert.

It's pretty good & I prefer it to the 9inch but I've yet to master it & only the odd item is deeper than the XP GMP 11" (which is a great coil when used with the settings I learnt)
I'm testing it on poor sites, so until I return to a Roman Site I have hammered, I'm unsure. Like I stated the other day, it goes deep for medium Lead (12-13inches) but I'm still learning.
