Jim.

Hi Walt... the 10" elliptical concentric I referred to above is the same coil as the 10" elliptical concentric for the F70. One in the same coil. Or are you thinking about something else?

The 10" elliptical concentric markedly improves sensitivity to small stuff over the stock 11" DD. I have a "not very flat" half-grain nugget buried out in the patio at a half-inch depth that it will see. It's not much of a signal, but you definitely know there's something tiny under the coil. When prospecting recently I was pleased to see that coil respond to tiny silver bits that were sometimes difficult to spot in my hand. Thanks...

Jim.

Wish the Kidney stone I just passed was gold, It was a lot bigger than your nugget

a computer screw is about a 3/32 tread or so.....maybe a bit igger but not much......so that chipis like 1/16 to 3/32 long at most I think.
Still a nice find they all add up.
