I had the perfect site at which to use a small coil and mine has been acting funny... so I purchased a used Sunray X-5 recently.

My initial impression of this coil...I LIKE it :headbang:....and at this point...that's all I can say. 8)

[bg=http://forum.treasurenet.com/images/coinsc.jpg]I can't go into details right now but watch for a future field test article in Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine...as this is an ongoing and thorough field test.[/bg]

Just wanted to show the finds from 4 hours of tedious hunting in the rain and 36 degree temps on a day the first week in December....brrrr.. ;D

The highlight of the day was the beautiful sterling silver ring w/ black onyx and cameo setting. It weighed a whopping 10.4 grams.

I also got 2 wheaties...a Roosey...and the flattened penny/token that has the Entire Lord's Prayer engraved in it.

[bg=http://forum.treasurenet.com/images/coinsc.jpg]And yes...that IS duct tape and sandwich bags on my SE. :laughing7: When you get to a site and it starts pouring rain...you have to find the nearest thrift store and improvise.[/bg] ;D :hello2:

That's a great ring. I just got a 5 in Exelerator coil for my GTI but have yet to try it. I know they are different coils but did you seam to get decent depth?

I was wondering what you were up to.

You are a dedicated hunter! I can do temps in the 20's, but rain? No way! Meowww.. :cat: ;D

Re: Sunray X-5 Coil sniffs a GEORGEOUS ring out of the trash

Man i haven't seen shag carpet like that since the 70s.

The ring is sweet.

The small coils are all that. Even in places that are not that trashed out you can find
stuff that you missed with your other coils. They tend to throw some of your readings
off so like always i go by the sound.

I can't believe a big time hunter like you doesn't have all the rain gear.

Congratulations on the ring. Good to see you back.

Nice finds Bryce, love that ring man. There is 24 inches of snow on the leeward side of the lake buddy. Glad you are still at it in the rain over there. :thumbsup: jgas
