coils

[size=large]Okay let me ask this, on the BH505 which would be the better coil ? 4"-8"-10"-10 1/4 mag Dose size matter ?[/size]

It all depends on what type of hunt you choose to do. For the beach and wide open areas the 10" coil will allow you to cover more ground, but can be trickier to pinpoint with, harder to seperate trash from treasure in trashy areas. The 8" coil is designed with the purpose of providing the best of both worlds depth and the ability to cover more area faster. The 4" coil is my favorite though because I like to cover a small area in a hunt and take my time. I find stuff I would miss otherwise. The 4" coil is my favorite coil. Gets right in close to big metal without picking it up in tot lots and such. Its easy to pinpoint with and separate trash from treasure in trashy areas. Cons to this coil are less depth takes longer to cover an area if you search big areas. It all boils down to each coil serves a purpose and buying a new coil is cheaper than buying a new detector.

If I could only have one coil for my 505 I must admit it would be the stock 10" coil...but since I can have more than one I prefer the BH 4". I also like to go slow and get into tricky spots other detectors couldnt possible fit. Just my opinion. HH. Matt

Thanks Matt no one said anything about the 10 1/2" mag coil, I just want this is a good detector before I invest more money into it, Was thinking about Fisher F5, But if my 505 is getting a good rating from the ones that really go out and use it I can can justify spending the cash for new coils a lot cheaper that way It will be a few weeks before I get mine back from 1ST Texas, so I have Lot's of time to do the research Thank again for your reply I need all the help I can get Jim

LostHunter that coil may not work on your detector it will work on pre 2003 detectors ONLY

[size=x-large]So you don't think the 10.25 coil you have won't work on my BH 505 is that correct ? [/size]
