On Friday afternoon I received my new X-5 coil from our sponsor NEW ENGLAND DETECTORS. He gave me a great deal and even threw in something a little extra for me thumbsup01 I received it 1 day after ordering it.
I had a spot in mind that I had wanted to try it out. It's heavy in surface trash, not to mention what is under the dirt too. So I went to an old mill/factory in a neigboring town. It was extremely slow going. I managed 2 wheats and the lock, along with some clad.
I then decided to try it at another close location that in the past has shown to be very trashy, but potential. I dug a lot of clad.
I began to wonder if I what I was finding was because with such a small coil, you are having to go much slower and of course you're covering much less surface area with each sweep...which o course leads to better seperation.
I was beginning to get a bit worn out, had a kid following me, tired of hearing another guy yelling at his kids, and I had a bit more time before I HAD to be home, so I decided to look for an old park that I had found in my research. Found the spot.......unfortunatly there were houses all over it >{. Meanwhile I had passed a good size ... for lack of a better term median It was in the cul de sac on a street that was surronded by old turn of the 20th cent houses. I changed back into the larger coil. About 5 sweeps in nailed a 37' Merc <:...I thought there was going to be a whole lot more......just clad. I did manage a nice ladies Seiko watch, just needs a new battery. I also found this other odd thing, which I have no idea, looks interesting, has something on the surface, but I need to clean it up to figure anything out.
