Anybody running the 8" Brown Donut Coil on the Golden?

I don't have the 8" round but I do have the 10" round. Even though the 10" is larger than the 9 x 8, it is still much much easier to pinpoint with than the 9 x 8, so the 8" round I would say would be very easy to pinpoint with. As with any round coils vs ellipticals, round coils give better tone, target information and better pinpointing. Yes, a pinpointer helps but I'm often finding targets deeper than my pinpointer can reach, so initial pinpointing with the detector is important.

I don't have a Golden but, had no problems pinpointing with the stock 8x9 coils on any of the umax units I owned.
Try this, when you get a target, pinpoint the best you can then narrow the sweep to a slow slight wiggle over the target. Being a motion detector it should slightly detune
each wiggle. Process is similar to the Minelab Wiggle. Should then be able to pinpoint right on top of the target, dead on or close on all good targets and junk targets. Wire, nails or in combination with a coin might fool you.
Uncanny how the Tesoros will find a coin next to a nail.
If it's not there after digging, probing, could be a coin off to the side on edge or a nail with a coin near it. Or even an end of pc. of wire off in a downward angle. I can usually reach into the hole and feel the wire or nail, usually deeper than expected.
