8.5 Widescan coil

[CladJunkie]

I got a 8.5 Widescan coil for my Sliver Umax and I'm liking it. Is anyone else using this coil and can tell how you been pin pointing with it. Being a DD coil I'm pin pointing more off the toe of it, I'm not spot on but close just thinking it be nice to hear from others who have had it longer than me.

Once you hit on your target go forward and back in 2 directions, X marks the spot. You should have no problems. I do most of my surface hunting with a 5x10 DD, spot on every time.

8 and 1/2 DD coil is very good in bad soils.
Depth is like standard 8x9 coil in normal ground but it's deepest than standard in bad soils (when standard coil loose some depth).
Pinpointing is a little harder than 9x8 but practice do a master. Also it's a little bit hotter to iron.

Yes, it will false easier on the swing, but forward/back motion will disc out according to settings.

Yes I'm getting better. We will see how it dose on the beaches of Florida next week
