Impressed is all I can say. ID, sound and seperation is grt. Pennies dont bounce all over the place. Things ID where they are suppose to. Hunted for an hour and a half at a spot that has been gone over by many hunters and still got the Merc at 6". Clear as a bell too and surrounded by slaw! If you dont order Andy's book on these MD's your missing the boat. Has cleared alot of questions up for me and Ive been able to pull targets that eveyone has missed. Sure cut the learning curve in half. The 11" is a grt coil but this one fits the area I hunt.

First Hunt with 6x8SEF
- Thread starter Clad2Hunt
- Start date
I recently ordered and have been using the 6x8 SEF on a Safari. I hunt older schools and parks in the Northeast, where depth is critical. I have found the std 11" coil on the Safari provides significantly better depth than the 6x8 SEF for the areas I hunt. I'll post some silver finds from a school I hunted yesterday with the 11" coil in a separate posting. I had gone over the same areas before with the 6x8 SEF and missed them.
I really don't envision using the 6x8 SEF ever again unless I come across a very trashy area.

Do not give up on 6x8 yet I did the same thing or walked the same path you are walking when I first got it it seemed to only go about 7 inches in auto sensitivity so I did not use it for a few months.Then put it back on and started running it in manual sensitivity as high as you can go in the area you are hunting you will be impressed in junk area and home yards.By all means go ahead and use pro coil first I did,If the targets are really getting tough put on the 6x8 and see what you been missing around curbs and sidewalks edges the pro coil missed.In my hunting area the pro coil will go deeper about 2 inches at the most but I have no problem with that when I am recovering coins to 9 inches that others missed.you also may have bad coil.
