Appreciate the thoughts!Most of the coins were at 6" - 7" with a few at 8 and 9.
I think when you start getting 7" or deeper a smaller coil is not going
to produce as confident of a signal.
Take the Barber dime for example at 7" that I got with my Etrac and the 13" Ultimate:
The signal was there and for me, since I know my machine, it was definitely one of those
signals that made me say, "this might be a good coin" but it wasn't the same signal I got
with the Merc at 5 1/2 - 6" where I almost knew it was a silver. BAM!!
loud and clear and the numbers weren't jumping too much.
The 17" coil makes those 7,8,9 and even 10" coins sound off and read like they were at 6"
So most everyone with other machines will just pass those signals up because they are
just too iffy or nonexistent.

Great finds! Thought about getting a 15" coil for my 705, but for now I run it hot with sensitivity. I have to adjust it now and then, but Ive hit clad dimes on a sod overlayed football field at 7 to 9". The drawback is the musical chorus around trashy areas with the 10.5" DD I have which Im sure is unpleasant with the 17" coils.
Jack, you killed it again today!
It sure is amazing that the old Park continues to give it up.
Since I only found one Merc, I did not even take a picture
Had a fantastic time with everybody, even the two girlswingers who showed up
Hope to see everybody at the meeting Tuesday.
Thank you Wood for the reply. it was a great time hunting with all these guys.Great haul,big congrats!!
Appreciate the comments Vic. That girls school was a great adventure. Wish we had a location like that.Fantastic finds bud!! I loved my 17" coil! It's all I used at my girls school
Thank you Joe. It was a great time and experience for us all.Nice finds by all. Grats on the multiple silvers at the hunted out park
Jeff my time has been very limited this year but it has been very productive. This hunt was only my 19th of the year. (Been skunked 3 times) Best part is the majority of the hunts Ive gotten to share with some very quality people and that has been the true treasures of the year. JackYou guys did great congrats jack on a wonderful few outings with some friendly forum members!
Thanks for the reply Ken, it is apprieciated.Nice haul guys! Getting it done!
It was a lot of fun Beep. thank you for your reply.Now that's knocking it out of the park! Big Congrats on all the deep silver. beephead
You really missed a great time Kevin, don't know when the next one happens but i will be after some rain hopefully.And I was working all day....dammit! nice haul AGAIN guys! Looks like Trapper got the bulk of the silver, big surprise there... Those 17" coils are just coin gobbling monsters!
Saw you called Trapper, I'll give you a shout this week(hopefully). Hard to hear the phone when you're on a mower...
Tommy I don't think anybody in the group had the issues you brought up. This park has areas of heavy trash but not that it stopped anybody from their signals.Great finds!

Jason it was a great time. Weather was decent and the park was full of people enjoying life. Things were really clicking for me. Just hope I can continue to squeeze in a little more time in the coming weeks. Jack (Trapper)You guys killed it. Congrats on your best day of the year, wow what a day!
