Equinox - Trashy Parks - Coiltek 10" X 5" Or Minelab 6" ??

[fogrider]

I installed a Coiltek 10x5 on my Nox 600, and went out in the backyard for a trial run. I search an area I previously hit hard, and found some coin-like junk and a 1 cent piece.

Great separation qualities. I picked the 1 cent piece out of a group of iron nails.

I'm happy so far. I can't wait to search an old site.....

1/2 hour hunt on an area of my backyard that I've hunted 3 times before. One men's ring and two pennies ('59 and '60).

The 10x5 provides precise separation of close targets.

A slow sweep, and careful attention to the audio signal help maximize the benefit of the coil.

It seems to detect coins on-edge quite well; providing a slightly bouncy yet repeatable signal.

I think the initials on the ring are FDH. A pioneer named Frederick Hoar homesteaded a 1/4 section 2 miles from my place, on July 7, 1928. Might be his ring.

Nox 600, Park 1, 5 tones, 12, 20-40 discriminate, 4 kHz, 10x5 coil.

Might head out to an old baseball diamond later today.

Incredible history about the ring 👏👏👏

Waiting for your next adventure outcomes

Took the Nox to a local 1937 community hall (with permission).

Hit it Friday after work, and most of the day today. Ran it mostly on multi-frequency.

The 10x5 worked well in the trashy conditions. So many bottle caps!

Met the 80 year old 2nd generation pioneer that played ball there when he was a kid. He was a wealth of information. Nice guy. Their baseball team was called "The Pirogies" (They were Ukrainian!)

Had a great day. The scenery and weather were fantastic.

47 ML nickel, 43, 47 (x2), 53, 55, 57 dimes, and a 1935 1 cent:

 

There was a lot of action around the old concession window. I thanked the caretaker by trimming around the building.

Happy hunting!

Beautiful old coins, glad to see you having success with the 10x5. Haven't taken mine off, I like the balance and weight. Great stuff!

Nice saves on the coins, thanks for sharing the finds with us.

Good luck on your next hunt.

I ended up with a Minelab 6" coil, and its been doing great.

Thanks for everyones advice.

Looks like the 10x5 and the 6 are both winners!
