6 by 8 sef coil

Just got the 6 by 8 sef coil with all the positive reviews. I was messing around in my back yard with a 9 inch mercury dime. I can hit it with the 6 by 8 sef coil. The swing speed has to be perfect or you get nothing. Swing speed needs to be 4 seconds left to right.. On the other hand the s-12 Sunray I can swing as fast as I can and it will still hit it. I know the 6 by 8 is meant to uncover targets in trash. I just like to know how deep each coil get.

Just one reason I like the bigger coils. Even in the trashy areas. I'm doing more testing in the wild. I mark targets then test the other coils. Any thoughts?
 
I've taken mine out only twice-- found $4 in clad a thin silver ring. It seems that I can really crank up the manual sensitivity, more than with my Tornado. I haven't done any depth tests, but I did hit a memorial at almost 9".

I'm not sure if it is the soil or the coil, but clad seems to ring up higher in CO. I had a solid 12 46 which got my attention-- two clad quarters stacked on each other at 5". 11 47 another clad quarter. 8 40 was the 925 ring. On my larger coils-- a silver canadian quarter was 17 46 and a washington was 12 46.

Anyway, the jury is still out on the coil for me. Cutaplug has a video where he is using it in a trashy park and got some silver.
