I bought a 6” coil for my Nox hoping to breath some new life into some of my old sites. Decided to hit a site I’ve pounded with my stock coil that has loads of thick vines and roots that prevent effective swinging with the stock 11” coil.

First good signal in the roots.

Popped a copper. Enough detail to ID as a mid 1700’s KGII.

Then a smaller coin pops in another batch of vines.

2 Center, cool I have only found one of these 3 years ago and it was very toasty, this one is nice.

About 10’ away I’m swinging over what I assume is an ancient buried pipe about 20’ long leading to an old well. The pipe is a consistent 15, but the tiny coil rings up a tight 21/21 and only an inch down.

Hello, this is another nice one.

I also pulled a couple wheats from the crevices, but here are the old coins.

Got a pretty good consistent 10 and popped this thin, what appears to be sterling silver tube that has a subtle pattern. Could this be an old opium or cocaine straw?

Also found a strange topper or stopper, looks more modern, not sure what it is.

Found what I believe is my first lead bale seal. Seems like 2 pieces smashed together.

Great digs, man! I actually ended up getting another 6" coil not too long ago after selling off the first one. I really like it in the dense trash. That stocker sure kicks but though for an 11"dd!

Thx John! I made a list of all the sites I want to rehit with the 6” coil, slowly working my way through them. I’m finding that some sites were truly sucked dry by the 11”. That is my go to coil for sure. I haven’t got the 6” to really isolate good targets among the iron as much as I hoped, but around trees, saplings, bushes, vines, rocks and roots it’s killing it. Dug my second ever Shield Nickel the other day!
