13" X-35 doing great!

[Jeff in Pa]

I gotta say I really like this coil! Great co

verage and the added weight over my 9" X-35 doesn't bother me!
I have a few hours on it now at my pounded areas. Best finds so far are a colonial cuff button and this beat up LC. My Garrett was all the,way in the hole, hitting solid numbers of 92 to 94. My soil here usually don't give a mineralization number but if it does its 78 to low 80's.

How much more depth do you get with the 13 than compared to the 9?
How is the pinpointing?

 

[Jeff in Pa]

The pinpointing is no different. I always wiggle back for shallow targets and do the X for the deeper ones. I don't care for having to push the PP button and am satisfied with the methods I use. I can't give you any definate answer on depth because I don't have enough time on it yet. That is a good question that I will test out this weekend. There is what I believe to be another LC with a few feet of this one. I left it for my next hunt. I was running the silencer at 2 and that signal wasnt quite as good as the one I dug but close. It's a 9" target. I will swap from the 13 to the 9 inch coil using the same settings and see if one hits harder than the other.
Stay tuned.

Keep us posted! I was thinking about getting a 13" coil, but I hunt a lot of trashy sites that might not be so good for it. How much trash have you run it in?

I haven't put a lot of hours on it yet but does alright with a higher reactivity. So far I am really liking it. I used an Etrac with the 13" coil for a long time. I would rather use a larger coil if I have one. I don't mind the thought of missing so much when it gets thick with modern trash because I am also missing out on junk. When I put the 9" X-35 on and run the reactivity at 3 the amount targets I get is crazy. We all know that most times the targets you are hearing are junk. Yes you can miss a good target here and there with a large coil. Now if you use a disc of 8 or even 10 you can knock out a lot of that and if it gets real bad I will even switch to a notch program I have.
That's the beauty of the Deus, you can do so much with it to help you out in most any situation.
