Smaller Coil In Trash, why? I do not have a smaller coil (yet), but I keep hearing people say the smaller coils are good in trash. Can someone explain to me why a small coil works better in trash as opposed to the standard 11" DD coil? I mean, doesn't a signal go out and a signal comes back - what difference does a smaller coil make as far as the sounds coming back? Can't you see my inexperience coming through with this question? :nopity: Don't laugh, I will apologize for the stupid question while I beg your indulgence but pleas try to help me understand..

A smaller coil because of its smaller size naturally scans a much smaller area than a large size coil. As a result there are far fewer targets under the smaller coil at any given moment in time, making it much easier for the detector with a smaller coil to separate a good target from in among just one or two other targets

Ah, now that makes sense, thanks for the reply. I am convinced that the smaller coil gives better separation because everyone says that, but I like to know how it is able to give better separation and your response makes sense.

If I may follow up with another question; lots of people also say the smaller coil will not go as deep as the larger coils. Is that a true statement or does that depend entirely on the particular coil?

Thanks for the reply,

The smaller coil helps you find coins and desirable targets in high trashy areas. The smaller coil give you better seperation of targets. Has nothing to do with the sound.
