White's DFX 300 Sunray DX-1 probe/ XLT Sunray XL-1 probe
Finally had some time to test my new bluemax 4x6 shooter coil.
I did briefly test it the day it came in the mail, and found a 1917 wheat(no pic as I can't seem to find it now :( )

Today I hit my yard again. It has been hunted many times with my stock coil,
and the targets are getting slim.
There are a few trashy patches that are difficult with a larger coil.
I am impressed by the 4x6 shooters ability to get a signal on coins and other
non ferrous targets that are laying very close or up against rusty iron targets.
I found 2 wheat's, both 1940, and a 1965 quarter (so close yet again :) still looking for my first silver quarter) the coins all had junk in with them masking them from my larger coil.

I have quite a few trashy spots at other sites I will be using this new coil on
and it gets a thumbs up from me thumbup.gif

UPDATE :) I found the 1917 wheat it ties my oldest dated wheat penny

Hey Donny

Thanks for the feedback on the blue Max. What another detectorist says means a lot more to me than what the dealer sales brochure might offer. Thanks for taking to time to share with us

I feel the same way and I enjoy testing new toys out ;D
I can't wait to see what this coil can do in a trashy cellar hole. That is where I am taking it next.
I have some pics of the cellar hole in my gallery.

I have not even had the stock coil on my machine since I bought the 4x10 coil! I used either that or the 12" spider coil! It is a combonation that is working out very well for me! If I can use the 12".. it is because I trash.. so I pop on the 4x10.. the depth seem good.. I dug a wasted colonial copper this week at 8".. good strong signal with it!

I've been looking at the Bluemax and after reading your post (and others), I think I may get one for myself. Thanks for your input. GO NAVY!
