I have been hunting with the ACE 250 for a little over a month now. I have found a good bit of clad and a ton of junk and pulltabs. But, I still haven't found any silver coins or older pennies.
I usually use the standard, 6.5" x 9", coil when I am hunting. Sometimes, I will use the Sniper coil, if I am hunting in parks and tot lots. I was wondering if a larger coil, like the 9" x 12" coil would help much in finding older coins? I don't know how much more depth it would give me?
I am thinking that if I want to find silver and other older coins, I am going to have try a lot of really old sites and a wide variety of sites. What do you think would help me more? I really can't justify spending over $90 for a 9" X 12" coil for the ACE 250. Thanks for your advice!
Also, I was wondering how deep are silver coins and older pennies usually buried in the ground? Or, does it vary quite a bit?
