Deus II 9" or 11" coil

gopoddygo said:
Hello All, Just wondered those who are buying the Deus II which coil will you go for ( 9" or 11") and why?
Click to expand...
I have both, the 11 reports better on deeper targets but the 9 is still plenty deep.
The 9 is definitely more pleasant to swing.
 
I have the 9 and 11 for my D1. I use the 11" coil 90% of the time.
I like the 9" for working furrows and other areas where the 11" is more of a hinderance.

In my experience, the 11" coil is "for all intents and purposes" as good as the 9" in trashy areas.
Just like GazinUK said, slow down a little "and/or" raise the reactivity a little.
 
I bought the machine with the 11” coil, then added the 9” coil. If I had it to do again I would get it with the 9”, and add the 13” for open fields, and omit the 11” all together. Once I pick up the 13”, the 11 will probably only be used if the battery in the one I am using runs down.
 
I primarily beach hunt, so I went with the 11". My 13x11" DD arrived today. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the 9" and the 13x11" DD.
 
I have the 11” and would prefer the 9” probably sell my 11” if anyone’s interested it’s like new

I got the D2 with the 9" and just ordered the 13" skipping over the 11" . . . glad my thinking parallels with yours.

I agree! I just picked up a 11 inch and will be using it mostly at the beach and open areas.

I've been depth testing the 9" coil against the 13" for the D2 today.
The 9" is a sweet coil. I was in the farmers field with a couple of dimes. One was buried 8-1/2" and the other at 10-1/2".
Both were compacted in lifts. The soil was just a bit moist and medium mineralization. Very little EMI that I heard.

The 9" coil hit and ID'd properly (91) the 8-1/2" dime but won't get the 10-1/2". The 13" coil hits the 10-1/2" dime with the proper tone but the numbers were jumpy. It hits the 8-1/2" dime and ID's correctly, loud and clear.

I'm so glad that the bigger coil is a tad deeper, Whew! . . . I wouldn't have been a happy boy if it wasn't. That bugger wasn't cheap.
Swung the bigger coil after that testing, in an area that I hunted many a times, same field. I was digging deep poultry bands . . . thought I cleaned them out with my other detectors. They read in the low 60's but so do 1/2 dimes and Trimes . . .gotta dig em. PITA!

Steve, glad you happy with that testing. I use the 11 and enjoy this similar test here in NJ. I am surprised at the half dime and trimes. I’ll have to test those soon.

Yes, you’re right. I definitely need to get out to more productive areas. I have been talking about it so now is the time to go.
