Fisher F19 coils options

[Trashfinder]

Just got a F19 and i want to get a bigger ( or can be close to same size and just get a lot more depth) coil than the stock for more depth hunting in less trashy areas. Not sure i want to get anything much bigger than 11-12 inch.

The F19 (like the Gold Bug and G2) uses only DD's from the so-called "Greek"/"Fratbros" series. Large searchcoils on a quick-response machine like the F19 usually give little or no depth increase over the standard searchcoil.

Judging by this youtube video, coils can make a significant difference in air tests on the F19. Not sure if this would translate to deeper detection in the ground though.

Thanks Dfmike, i just emailed him , i heard from a dealer he wanted to sell a coil. Funny how things work.

Thanks for the Yutube link, very impressed with the air test. But I ain't digging anything passed 8" unless I'm pretty darn sure it's gold. Getting too old to be digging those holes to China only to find a piece of foil.
