Work has been hectic. Kids have been winding down the school year. I've only gotten out a few times the last few weeks, and when I did, I didn't find much. I didn't seem to be in sync with my machine. EMI, chatter, low patience, high frustration. Not enjoying myself. I'm not really sure what the deal was... I ordered a small 5x8 coil. When I unboxed it, that coil seemed sooooo tiny. I have been running the NEL Thunder recently. My hell, the 5x8 is small!! My interest was renewed. I just got home from a fun hunt at a church built in the 1930's. I have hit this place from all directions, with my stock coil and the Thunder. Last time I detected it I left without hitting any good signals. I headed out tonight around 10:30 pm with the 5x8. This coil is a lot of fun. It is stable as can be at full sensitivity. The separation of targets is phenomenal. It was dark, quiet, cool, I was one with my machine. I hit targets that had been eluding me. Had a great night! Slump is over. Deep 1943 D War Nickel, a few nice old wheats and some other random do-dads. I think one is an old door bell cover? Thanks for looking.
