    Battery life...

    Does anybody know if there is an actual relationship between coil size and battery life ? Also is there a relationship between sensitivity or gain with coil size....like if I run at 50% a 5 inch coil will only get 2" of deph or such ????

    Readings today...

    Today I was using the 11" coil and being that the targets are getting more spread out I set it down to 56. Most nickles definitely come in at 58-61...
