[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 649333, member: 11952"] Had 15 minutes spare yesterday so got back out with the 11" coil fitted for the first time. Difficult ground with lots of iron so I jacked the recovery up to 10 and found quickly that the 11" can't take it quite like the 6" can with my preferred settings, with tone volumes a bit low the way I like it, they almost disappear in comparison. Regardless I persevered at a setting of 9 and kept my ears peeled, turned up 1922 and 1929 half pennies in amongst a stand of saplings pretty quickly (again, no doubt I've covered the ground with a different detector before). The 1929 was a weird signal, felt very small and varied with some differing swing angles but didn't waver over to the ferrous side at all. Quickly found the reason for that - it was about 3" down, in the ground exactly on edge: [ATTACH type="full"]3239[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
