DFX with 14 inch Excelerator searchcoil Finds 10K Ring

I managed to get out again with the White's DFX and the 14 inch Excelerator search coil and found a few more goodies. The was a 10K man's tiger eye ring which I found about 4 to 5 inches deep in a ball field at a college in an area close to the field I found the worn 25 mercury head dime that was 8 inches deep. This was my first hunt with 14 and I was very limited on time. In the area I found the mercury head dime, I also dug 2 clad dimes which ere 4 inches deep. I also dug some trash hoping for a ring which I did get! The coil pinpointed well and I was using the coin and jewelry program with no changes except tone ID.

My second time out with the 14 inch Excelerator produced a little more from an old school near my house which was built in 1920. I have pounded this school many times over the years with everything I have in metal detectors from Fisher's, Minelab's and other Whites's machines. This area still continues to produce! I dug the brass pieces (drawer decor?) at 10 inches for the handle and 9 inches for the other. The 50 Washington was next at 7 inches and then came a 13 Barber dime at 7 inches. I was running in the coin and jewelry program with tone ID on and was hoping to dig another gold ring but just dug the trash I included in the photo, digging through sod and hard dirt is a nasty chore! I managed o find some clad at the usual shallow depths for the next 1/2 hour and then I got a sweet silver tone, which turned up the silver ring which was 6 inches deep on the meter and had a chunk of aluminum right above it! The next 3 coins were wheat pennies which showed up at 4 inches on one and 6 inches on on the next two. I need to mention that this school has it's share of trash and the search coil did great in it!

The next site I headed to was a local park which has been around since the 1940s. I dug a money clip there at 5 inches deep, 2 buttons and an old key which was 6 inches deep. I also dug a 1940 mercury head dime at 7 inches deep. I will say, this 14 inch Excelerator search coil has been just as impressive as the 5 inch Excelerator search coil and maybe even more so. Its very stable and fairly easy to swing for being a DD 14 inch search coil. All signals banged in with a loud report and I'm still hoping to dig keeper deeper then 10 inches. I am very sure this search coil will find it but, I gotta go over it first! I'm going to head to a few other old places I know of to give the 14 inch Excelerator search coil another work out and see what I can dig up. The humidity with the heat has been rough on this body and cool air will be a welcome.
