1st hunt with new 6" Excelerator coil on the Se

Well I have not posted in quite a while but I have been picking up the pace. This week I have 9 wheaties, and I got to try out my new 6" Excelerator coil today.....

Here are my thoughts....

Well the first thing I noticed running the sens. at 24 was the coil was 100% stable, smooth threshold which allowed me to work a little faster than I have been.

The results of the coil were extremely impressive! Three hours and 20 minutes covering a tot lot and a baseball outfield produced over 100 coins and over $8 in clad...one wheatie today which already met a lawnmower...a 44-s.

The coil is lightweight, pinpointing dead on and will pay for itself very quickly....

Wonderful finds!

Did you dig much trash, or did the new coil get rid of that?

I don't know what I'd do with out my pull tabs!

Hello Buddy Gregg!
Good to see you swinging again and not just shifts!

Yes, I agree; smaller is better when it comes to coils! I have the 5 inch and 4.5x7 Excelerators and really like them both. I find they do an excellent job under tot lot equipment, fences, and along rebarred concrete.They're really good with very small items as well. Unlike you, I crank SENS. up to 32 max utilizing SEMI-AUTO SENS with GAIN@10. Doing so works for me.

Keeping it swung low,

I dug a few more bottle caps today but with the dirt stuck in them I throw them out before entering house... Last year I brought some ants in the house that way so I toss in can before I go in. The other junk is pictured on right side of pic.

Thanks Ron I have been out 9 straight days now....I needed the lighter coil today...arms a little stiff.. With the sens. I am looking for stability in the threshold and did not try any higher today... The other two coils on the Se I use...the ML 8" and the stock slimline...seem to like sens in low 20's... But they both have problems with falsing and loss of threshold once I crank higher...

This year I have kept track each day but not totaled coins... I have kept track of dollar amount... I right in $400 area in clad... I have not totaled my wheaties ...will at end of year and silver I am doing better this year. I missed a few of my hunts due to a temporary shift change for a month...But since that ended I have been out 9 straight... I have a little more equipment to pay for... doubt I can get Se, the extra shafts, extra coils all paid for this year... You never know though... Fingers crossed... But odd no gold rings for me this year... Only gold was two earrings found about a month apart on broken signals...one was right next to a penny.

Thanks the key seems to be one of those small ones for maybe a travel lock. I found that in a tot lot. Earlier this year I got my first skeleton key...which was of my list and the other day I found a door latch for a skeleton key in real nice shape...
