Surprised By Vista Gold Gain And Stock Coil

[rod-pa]

There is a beach volleyball court near my place.  About a month ago, on my way home from another site, it was empty.  I had my super six coil on at the time, so I did a walk through the court...not being overly slow or thorough, but more trying to get a feel for the ground balance, how high I could have gain and sensitivity, etc.  Found the standard couple coins, but did get two stud earrings.  One silver stud with CZ, the other just plated with glass.  Not bad, I thought.  Here is pic for size.

 

Then, last week, I was going past it again, this time with VGG again, but with the stock 11" pitbull coil.  I decided to run it again, and go slower, and listen for deeper items, because it has multiple layers of deep sand.  I was thinking deep coins.  the only notable item I got was this stone with small setting.  Tone was clean and strong.  It was only 3 or 4 inches down, but pretty cool.  Basically told me unless I am concerned with too many targets under the coil at one time, no reason to take the larger coil off.

Rod,  So many detectorists walk right over those stud earrings and not even know it.  Proper coil control, good ears and knowing your Settings is key.  Keep at it and sooner or later one of them will be the real deal diamond stud.

I own several DeepTech's, and the Gold Gain is a favorite. Nice finds.

Nice finds! I have the Gold Gain with 2 coils including the Supersix also. They are are great detectors. Runs thru nails nice and quiet.
