"I had a Winner in the Land Ranger"
The deepest coin sized item I found wan as Edward I penny from the 1300's at 8" in old grassland.
Its a little over a year since I bought the Landranger detector, I made this decision because I was so totally impressed with the Fast Tracker that I purchased for my wife. I was not disappointed in any way with the Landranger either. One of the most frequent places that I detect on is a river that has seen much use over the last couple of hundred years, the only problem with this site is that the ampount of iron is absolutely unbeleiveable. With this in mind I also received the 4" coil as well as the 10" & 8" ones. Its almost impossible to use anything bigger than 6" in this type of ground. I did have good sucess with the FT in this area in the past so it was time to take out the Landranger for a real showdown. Its a huge area to work, but you are resricted by the tides and also any areas that have been scoured off to the stony iron layer. I ran the LR with half sens and as little iron disc that I could get away with. I was surprised that I could run the sens much higher, the little coil was doing its job, and very well. By seacrhing slowly and methodically I began to find some non-ferrous items, mostly small bits of lead & some brass screws. Within 15 minutes I was on some coins at last, a couple of small cupro nickel sixpences from the 1950's. These are very hard targets to find in this sort of ground. From that point on I knew that I had a winner in the LR. After slowly searching for a further two hours & hunting very slowly I had managed about 15 coins. One was a silver sixpence from 1910, the rest copper and mostly small ones, this is because all the big stuff has been lifted in the past & even the tide cannot help. After a few more trips down to the river with the little 'killer' coil I was doubly impressed, it just kept finding! Using the 10" in fields was also a joy. The audio discrim was excellent and the numerical ID very accurate. The deepest coin sized item I found was an Edward I penny from the 1300's at 8" in old grassland. Thanks to First Texas for producing a first rate machine. I would not hesitate to recommend their units to beginner or advanced user alike. Yours sincerely Stuart Rainford
