Popular Post schoolofhardNox Posted January 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2021 My second hunt this past week was at my favorite EMI beach. Besides getting a new scoop I also decided to try a Coiltek 14" anti-interference coil for my GPX. I need every advantage when hunting this beach, so I decided to give it a go. I was hoping I could still use the coin/relic setting with this coil as it is the deepest, but it was not going to happen. So I changed timings and it worked well. Now all that was left was to see how much depth I lost. Honestly, at first I did not like the coil since I really wanted the most depth I could get, as the coins tend to be deep. But I kept at it and eventually did get 2 silvers that were around 12" deep. Not bad, but a bit short of the depth I wanted. Then something strange happened. I got another deep sounding signal and dug down around 12". Still no target with the pinpointer, so I scraped another 2 inches out, and finally I heard the target, I carefully removed 1 more inch and I flipped out a small copper ring. I measured the hole and it was 15". I couldn't believe I heard that ring that deep. I'm pretty careful with my measuring and I saw the ring flip over when I was pulling sand away, so I'm confident that it was not falling back into the hole. I use a spade to get the bulk of the sand away and then use my hand to finish finding the target. Although it's just a junk ring, I like the enamel design that the 40's through 50's era produces. I've found a couple religious medals before and they were enameled the same way. A couple more trinkets and lots of junk I didn't photograph, and that was it. I'm always happy to get any silver at this beach, so 2 silvers this time of year is a good hunt for me. Just happy to get out twice in one week. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Nice catch on the ring and the charm. Looks like mostly modern coins and what is the broken chain. Good hunting and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may hit that beach again with the new coil and tightly grid a section. It's hard to differentiate between a bit of mineral or falsing and a deep, fringe target. Coins at 15-20" do not sound like real targets sometimes. You have to take a lot of chances and dig about 6-7" out and see if the target gets louder. Sometimes it's just ground noise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Here is what separates you from the masses. You are willing to try different things (coils) and yes there is a need for the EMI coils in certain situations. That is a pretty little ring and great depth from an EMI coil. If it was a bigger gold ring, just add a few more inches. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
