How to find Hammered coins

[@neilradnor2645]

The best video I have watched in a long while ; excellent clear explanation and all done calmly.👍

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Neil, that means a lot mate 👍

[@oldplucker1]

@@The-skillschool Can you recommend an XP Deus rig with coils and Bluetooth headphones and where to buy with discount at a great price. I think I would need a 28cm X35 coil for ploughed and an elliptical coil for getting between the iron in machine gun iron areas, but tell me if I’m wrong. What is the elliptical coil I need, one area I have typically has 9 iron items in the same hole as the non ferrous? That sort of thing. But great history there. I have an Equinox 800, with 6”11”and 15” Minelab coils and Bluetooth headphones. I also have a Garrett 400i. Great info on your vids 👍 cheers

[@grahamhigby4372]

Good video Gary thanks for making it. It took me almost exactly a year to find my first hammered it was Easter Sunday this year and I found 2 within a few feet of each other, 3 weeks later another one popped up. It just takes time and patience to fully understand your machine and the feeling once you have cracked it is brilliant. Happy hunting 👍 XP💪

[@The-skillschool]

Great feedback thanks Graham, and congratulations on finding those hammies.

[@edhuffmanmetaldetecting]

Great video and very informative as always Gary! I agree with you... I can hunt the iron patches all day and be content as well... love hearing that solid repeatable tone pop through in the iron! Congratulations on the Hammered!

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Ed, great to hear from you 👍

[@andrewblue6272]

good sound advice ,especially where coils are concerned ,I see so many people out with the biggest coil they can get ,I always use small coils, to great effect

Good evening Garry, thank you for these tips in ferrous terrain, on the other hand I am an ORX so the responsiveness must be put 3..et the max in khz on the 22HF .. thanks again and see you soon.. Toch, gironde France

I was looking to improve my hammered coin finds, I am finding lots already all over the field. Clay pipes and pottery everywhere. Found medieval bells and such and hammered from 1550s ans newer. Can confirm this vid 100% checks our :) Will try your settings

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Daniel 🤝

[@Johnny-xh6lr]

Nice video Gary! I always use 14 kHz on the hf coil and still it picks up extremely small pieces.

[@The-skillschool]

Agreed it is a good all round frequency.

[@lewis523]

Been a Equinox user for couple of years now. Found 1 hammered and few other bits, nothing too exciting. Used the deus for the first time yesterday on the hot program and found 2 Lizzie hammerds 😁 watched all your XP deus videos too which helped massively.

Great shout...Thanks Lewis 👍

I found my first and only English hammy in my own country (The Netherlands), on a medieval site. I was very much surprised. Must have been trade.

[@The-skillschool]

Amazing luck, we want it back 😁👍

[@bertallsort694]

Cheers Gary...good viewing...now I'm a believer..I use apart from stubble or longgrass..31khz reactivity 4 all the time.with HF coil...finds just keep coming all the time....also people should think why do you need deep? The fact is most cultivated sites have been ploughed to about 10 inches hundreds of times since medievil...so basically everything has been mixed up like a cement mixer anyway..hundreds of times, so yank out the finds@31khz...

[@The-skillschool]

Agreed Bert, I am a firm believer that it's more about putting finds in your pouch. Depth is not everything and never achievable in a junky site.

[@paulg7688]

Great video gary I’m on pasture this weekend with the x35 11 inch coil near a deserted medieval village, will try the high frequency what are the settings for sonar plus and what is the base program thank you

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Paul. If there's a lot of iron base program 3 will do a good job.

what you say about the nox800?

[@jamesbryant5316]

Love your videos. I am a newbie but I have been using a mates deus with an HF 9 inch eliptical coil and finding tiny targets rnaging from airgun pellets up through buttons etc. I am looking to buy a Deus 2 but don't want to lose the ability to hit these small targets however the eliptical coil on the D2 is huge- So am considering the 9inch round coil? In your view is this the best option or would you recommend something else? even the D1?

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks James, there are 3 coils available for the D2. The 9" round is a good choice.

[@oldplucker1]

According to my measurements the Nox uses roughly 8khz-18khz-40khz simultaneously but in different proportions depending on modes. Also has adjustable recovery. I agree the coins are where the iron is. Iron is so cheap it has been used extensively since Pre Roman times and was the most common lost or discarded metal on sites of human habitation and although it masks finds it indicates human activity sometime over the last 2000 years or so.

[@The-skillschool]

Trouble is although the multi-frequency machine mentioned has an adjustable recovery speed it still can't deal with the iron like the Deus. I've tried it on several occasions during my testing.

[@oldplucker1]

@@The-skillschool Is that still so even with an elliptical coil on the Nox and the gain turned down to match the Deus lower sensitivity? I would be interested to see the comparison on video. Would be useful info. Also what mode and settings for the Nox were you using? I haven’t got a Deus but it can increase the finds rate amongst iron with the Nox by turning the sensitivity ‘Down’. I find the 6” Nox coil very good at getting between iron and of course there is a choice of two different iron modes on the Nox with a lot of room for adjustment on each. Fe and F2. I am not saying the Nox is better but it certainly finds foil and air riffle pellets. In fact almost too many tiny items. People on field digs I went on with Nox’s found hammered while others with Deus’s found Zero I also found a couple of hammer’d Jettons in an iron infested area with the Nox where my Garret 400i could not even detect them. Comparisons on real digs would be useful. 👍

[@danielemontanaro5169]

Hi Gary, doesn't recovery 4 find too much on the surface? It seems to me that I loose too much targets

They not that hard to find gary, look for iron correct, dig iffy targets zero disc, dig the foil bingo, now the negative side people who dont find them wont dig those low conductors or put up with all that noise, i dont mind thats why i am up to twelve this year so far, found 60 in one season using the origanal goldmaxx, another good tip is keep going over same ground as much as possible different angles it might be a small part of the feild, guarantee it will be, its hard work but the only way to pull hammereds, love the fast deus in iron, also love the explorer useing your insane all metal conductive method, once again very good video but i feel some people set in there ways, i find like you hammered on the right land easy to find iam not a hammered guru just dig wot others disc out or refuse to dig, big thumbs up top video
