First time w/ WOT / a few thoughts

Got the WOT in the mail yesterday and couldn't resist going out for a litle bit late last night (when I should have been doing other things (like sleeping?)). (Got a nice surprise in the box w/ the lower rod--thanks Jim!) Seemed like I could run almost as hot as I normally can at that spot, which was nice. Played around with some different settings. Pinpointing didn't seem that much different to me than the stock coil though had to do a little more heel to toe testing on possible targets and not just x'ing. Weight didn't seem that different to me at first but it crept up on me after a while. I've been thinking of getting a swingy thing--rather than just using my homemade jury-rigs--and suspect I'll be ordering one shortly since I like this coil! Can't wait to try it at the beach. On my way back out across the triangle, I switched to disc mode--coins on and bottlecaps off--and it was interesting. Amazingly quiet with very little falsing, even with all the iron I know is in the ground. A couple of targets really jumped out at me, including a '65 quarter (darn, one year off!) and '70 memorial coin drop. Seemed like it falsed less in that mode than the stock coil does. I'll have to test it w/ minimal IM (and maybe bottlecaps off) later and see if that continues. With the stock coil, I seem to get about the same amount of falsing either way, just with any disc I get nulls and falsing together rather than iron grunts and falsing. If the WOT does false less w/ minimal IM, I might end up using that mode a lot with this coil. All and all I'm real happy with it. Can't wait to learn it better.
 
keep us posted on how the coil works for ok? i also want one but i would like to know how they work out for you before i get one tho
 
I am glad you got to go out with it last night. I thought it was someones birthday last night, Humm, lol. Hope you get some good finds with it.
On the beach I had to lower some of the settings and or had to adjust discr. or I would find 80 year old sinkers, lol. Bottle caps and tabs are fun to. But one of those tabs could be gold, lol.

I thought you would like the lower shaft as it makes it an easy change for coils. Keep us posted and have a good weekend.

Yea, keep us informed, it will be interesting to see how it works for you. I have went back to the 8" coil and am liking it.
 
Hey, that lower rod is worth $40! That's a nice gift!

I have the Platypus ordered and hope to get it soon. I think you will like the WOT!

Good luck!
