Tometusns Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 No date buff, 1915d buffalo and an 1886 Indian. These coins came from a place I call the "black hole". It's been hunted to death. It's also the first place I took my 800 to. I'm giving these coins to the 6"coil especially the Indian. Hunted in pk1, sensitivity 21, iron volume 1, second segment 15 rest left at 25. Recovery set at 7, ran in auto trac. I think the 6"coil is killer?!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Excellent finds! (Still haven't found a dated Buffalo.?) My IH's are green like yours, but only one has cleaned up that nicely. Did you do anything besides soak these? Can't wait to get my 6" coil. About how deep were those coins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB, These were I would say 4" + or - some. I haven't dug any 7" lately but have with the six in the past and with recovery set on 7. I don't know if it's good or bad but the coppers and nickels I soak in coconut oil. I didn't have any olive oil which I know some guys use. It seems to be ok but if you've got a crusty coin there's no fixing it. Thanks, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukester Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Nice finds. My 6" coil came yesterday. Mounted it up and played around with it in the backyard. Sure is nice swinging that light little coil! Looking forward to the weekend to try it out in the wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
