xawi29 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 In September I was participating in 5th season of archeological dig for remains of huge silver treasure discovered in 2015. Treasure consist mostly of parted coins from Samanid Empire 8 to 9 century, Slavic jewelry and coins from Germany , Hungary and Denmark. In this season of digging ( 4 meetings) we discovered totally 150 fragments of treasure. Field were it was discovered is an iron carpet, were many detector fail to separate good targets from iron junk. I attend 2 digs and I was lucky to discover 35 silver items. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL NINO77 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Xawi29... what coil do you most often use on Alter71 to find such small pieces of chopped coins? I assume it will be a coil of medium or smaller size ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xawi29 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi El NINO77!! I started with standard 28 DD coil I was picking up targets in little modified ultra fast program, but due to amount of iron and size of targets I changed it to Mars Sniper and it works well for me ( I like this coil very much due to it sensitiviti on micro targets). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
