8" Coil For Quattro

[cx3]

I just ordered a Quattro and was wondring what the recomendation on a 8" coil would be. I will be hunting inland sites the majority of the time, for the beach I will use the stock coil. I am a previous Explorer user and had a 8" Sun Ray coil which had fairly good depth, would this be a good choice again? How does the 8" Minelab coil do? Thanks and HH.

Get it and use it as your primary coil. Most coins are not any deeper than 6" which this coil can do. You will get better target separation and less nulling. You do get less coverage but with the DD design it's not that much less than a larger concentric coil. I also feel I can use a faster sweep speed with this smaller coil. So unless I know the site, I start with the 8". If the site is not too too trashy and I start digging coins that are 5-6" deep, then I will switch to the 10".

hi just bought a detech 5" concentric coil found no loss of depth, the beauty is pinpointing the quattro is a dream machine dont get me wrong but the double d is a coil that takes some mastering,im in a gd postion where by i can search old manor grounds going back some 600 plus you dont want to be digging 12" holes im sorry but the quattro finds a depth no question but pinpointing is hard so ive gone for a concentric 5" coil might lose some depth but i can live with that they said i might lose depth but havent found it thanks mick from england.

in playgrounds and probably use it 99% more than the 10". I had the 10" at the beach and had to almost dig 10" holes!
