[SEMPERFI61]

ok experts whats the top dog in small coils : the oval 4x6" coil or the concentric 5" d.d. coil? need some feed back please on this coils.thanks

4x6 if steel bottle caps are a problem. This is my choice for hunting trashy parks.

All other times: 5" DD.

4x6 is very slightly deeper but never a deciding factor.

Question on this question; is the 4 by 6 coil a fisher or aftermarket coil??? We have the little round fisher but were wanting a elipt and wanted a fisher if possible or a good brand?

Not sure what model of detector you are looking for a coil for, above is a link to one on ebay for $118 but it is for the F70-F75. You can also get them new from Kellyco and other dealers.

Hey guys when I got my F70 I got the 6.5" coil. I like the 6.5" , my own preference. I never used the 5"DD coil. It says Fisher on the top of the 6.5" coil and the coil came with its own lower rod because it has a rubber grommet/nut and blot that is used with the coil and lower rod. The standard and 11" coils do not use the grommets. i use the 6.5" in parks/schools/tot lots/beach. It is light and is very good in trash. I use it around park benches and poles. I put it on a few months ago and haven't taken it off. I like it because it is light and gets very good depth with it. I have dug coins to 7" or a little more. Some claim much deeper?? Lets not get into that... USMC 60-64. I am not an expert but the 6.5" coil even works for a goof ball like me... Thanks for reading. HH... Happy Trails....Z

I have both (got the 4x6 first) and used it quite a bit... Recently purchased the 5" DD and havn't used the 4x6 since, just hangs out in the garage collecting dust... Both coils have no problem reaching a 8" silver dime in my test bed with a sens of 60, no disc, and GB of 62...

I use them both about 50 50. Each has their place, but either is good. HH jim tn

5 inch DD all day long. I can pull relics and coins from heavy trash sites with ease. In boost mode on the LTD model you can get some nice depth.
