    21st silver coin today: 1953-S Roosevelt. Also 1946 Dog Tax Tag, heavily encrusted Indian cent 190?, 2 wheats and a thimble. Really quick hunt today. I think I am easily going to break my goal of 25 silvers for 2013 set a week ago, as I have found about 7 since then.

  25. DD coils depth/size: Do you find the statement to be true?

    Recently I have been thinking about depth and the size of DD coils and how one affects the other. For instance I have seen it stated that the elliptical coils offer better coverage lengthwise but sacrifice depth to do so. For example a round 6 inch DD would get more depth than a coil that is...

  37. When to dig? (Newbie Question)

    I know most of the buzz is about the 3030 but I have a question about my new etrac. As I am detecting an old school lot often time I am getting a good signal but when I rescan it is very hit and miss. As I move around the area at 90 and 180 degrees the target will sometimes hit on a good...
