I've not been out detecting much lately due to the rain and having other stuff that I needed to take care. Earlier this week I got in a few hours with the Tesoro Mojave and managed to find a Rosie and 10k GFP ring.

This morning I didn't really feel like going but I wanted to give the 10 inch elliptical concentric search coil that I just received in the mail a try. I hooked it up to my F75DST, set the sensitivity to its max, zero discrimination, 4H Audio Tones, Jewelry process mode, and no notch. It ran super smooth!

I believe it may be a tad deeper than my NEL Sharpshooter search coil that I normally use on my F75. I need to do more testing to compare the two search coils. It's hard for me tell because both search coils work great. The thing I like about the concentric is it won't high tone a pry cap.

Anyway today I managed to find 8 more silver coins, 11 wheat pennies and some clad coins. If I had a little more energy I could have found some more silver coins. I need pace myself so I don't burn myself out.

Nothing more rewarding than getting a new coil and breaking it in on some keeper finds. Congrats

Thanks! I wasn't disappointed with its performance.

Congrats looks like it's working
Thanks! I wonder if I would have done better if I had used another search coil. LOL

Thank! I get lucky most of the time.

Looks like your dialing it in. Love that digger.
Thanks! I've pretty much have the F75 figured out. Yeah, I love that digger. I have a back-up for the back-up.

NICE FINDS
Thanks! I was on a silver run today. You can tell by my trash pile. If I'm feeling really good, I'm digging it all in hopes of finding gold.

Man, that's what I call a Silver Gathering.
I think you're going to stay with that coil for a while.
Congratulations

Great hunt, but the holes don't look that deep that a 5x8 wouldn't have fond them just as well.
