I have had the 13x17" coil for my CTX for a year now. I did not use it a lot last year. Maybe close to 20 hours. I also have a 13" Ultimate for my Etrac which I have had for 3 years. I have a couple of 'secret' places that I had a good amount of deep finds with the Ultimate coil. I can honestly say I have not found any more coins in those couple of places with the 13x17" coil. I am sure the 13x17" coil is OK because I do find deep coins with it in other places. It just doesn't beat the 13" Ultimate. I run auto +3 and it registers 27-28, Ferrous Coin and Combined with an open screen. So my ground is fairly mild. What would be some opinions on getting possible deeper coins with this situation. Hopefully I can get back out by the end of March when the snow starts to leave.

Deep coin settings for 13x17" coil.???

You don't need to change anything, just put it on and hunt. I get about 2 - 3 inches deeper with my 17" compared to the stock coil, same settings for both. I know this for a fact (for me) because I heavily scoured a hot spot in a ghost town I hunt. In a place where I pulled many silvers with the pro, the deepest was a quarter at 9 inches. After not being able to get any more signals I switched to the 17" and re-hunted the same spot and found a quarter at 12" and a dime at 11".
I was at a schoolyard last year where I got very tired of digging coins at 9 inches or so in dry ground. I wasn't very good pinpointing the 17"er back then and my wrist stayed sore from all the digging. I finally took my relic shovel to the school (something I had never done before or have done since) and finished the field. I figured if I got run off, so be it, but I couldn't take any more of that wrist torture.
There is a dark side to lots of depth.
(no one get upset. my refilled holes were all but undetectable. I am a very careful replugger)
