I detected my backyard with a 3" coil and found a ton of clad with a few wheaties thrown in. I have to use the sniper coil because there are 3 overhead power lines immediately over my head, and the chatter from my 1266 and 8" coil drove me nuts. I know there's old silver down there, but I don't think I'll find it unless there's a power outage or I break down and get a 5" coil. I just had a few minutes this morning to try the area next to the street, and the first signal was a '54 Rosie, followed by a '36 wheatie and war nickel. There's a lot more there so tomorrow I'll put the 3" on and sift between the foil wrappers, pulltabs, etc.. Happy Hunting!
