I got my 6 x 8 coil already today,(thanks Jack!) went to my backyard to check my 2 yr old coin garden. I was worried this little coil would not have the power to hit deep coins...........wow I was dead WRONG!
I have coins buried at a measured 7.5 inches, put them on large plates to prevent sinking when I buried them 2 yrs ago. With my xterra-70 I could hit them with a sensitivity of 28 out of 30 with stock coil, with 3khz coil I could hit them with sens of 23.
With Etrac stock coil I could hit them loud and clear wih sens pretty low can't remember exact number now. ???
But with 6 x 8 I first tried auto sens, it was at 24, hit them easy! so I flipped it into manual and wanted to see how low I could go and it still pick them up with a correct conductivity number. I got clear down to manual sens of 14 with a correct ID.........and all the way down to manual sens of 11 it still gave me a broken high pitch and numbers were off, but it still detected them. I am IMPRESSED this lil coil has serious power!!!!!!! Can't wait to get out and try it out!
