I took the new to me 10x12 out for a run today, wow, I wasn't expecting the nice surprise. This coil on the Cortes HATES bottlecaps......it loves clad.....Canadian clad and I did dig the iffy washer signals. I'd say it's about an inch and a half deeper than the stock 9x8.
I had it out at a site I worked pretty good last year (I thought). It's a 1960's rodeo ground that still gets mild public traffic today. I dug all targets in the nicle/ foil range and up. only one of the dimes had any depth to it @ 5", the rest were only a couple inches deep. The coil is sensitive to being bumped, but otherwise, I am very impressed! for now it looks like the big coil is staying on.
