Last two hunts , gold and a relic UPDATED
No new spots or opportunities have become available in the last few months and stuff has been happening to curtail the time for ventures to farther and different spots so the better finds have only been an ocassional wheat or Roosie in my same old spots .Nothing to really post til' the last couple of hunts . The first hunt got me the cool old relic lock and a couple of coins and my last hunt got me the Gold St. George sailors medallion and even a little more clad than I've been finding recently .The lock was down 8 and sounded off very loudly it appeared as a copper cent on the smartfind . The medallion was barely an inch deep in the wet , muddy grass roots . The coin under the medallion is from Indonesia . I was using an Ultimate 13 coil on my Explorer SE .The coil has good depth and coverage and feels a lot lighter than it looks .It's much more bearable to swing than the 1:blackeye:12 SEF
which is also a great coil and may even be a better performer but I didn't keep it long enough to do more extensive testing after I started using the 13 .My 2 coils of choice for the Explorer have come down to the Sunray X8 and the Detech Ultimate 13 .
