It?s been almost a month since I got my Sun Ray X-5 coil and once again I found some silver coins here in Hawaii. I know finding silver is no big deal you guy?s and gal?s living in the East, but it?s not easy finding silver coins here in Hawaii. Since I started 9 months ago I have only found 10 silver dimes out of over 4000 coins. But I also did manage to find 18 rings. I went hunting again with my Minelab Explorer 2 with my best friend the X-1 probe (I won?t leave home without it) at a public school. Even with FAST recover on I was able to find the silver dimes at a depth of 3-4 inches. I managed to find in 4 hours 12/25,20,/10,3/05,38/01,4/Baseball batting cage tokens,1996 Canadian, 3/Mercury?s and 1/Roosevelt Silver Dime. The X-1 is so light that when I went back with the stock Minelab 8 inch coil to see if I missed anything the stock coil felt like it weighted a ton. IM now going to add the Sun Ray X-8 coil to my collection of hunting tools. One of my favorite places to hunt is under trees in the shade, because after 8 a.m. it gets very hot here. The down side is that is where you find most of your pull tabs and crown tops. But the X-5 will seek out the coins that the others have missed.
