Got my 10x12 coil in................

[River Raider]

Some time next week I will design a mounting adapter for it.
So it will feel more balanced, hopefully.
I got a deal on it as everyone was sleeping a few months ago, a fleabay win
at $34.00.

Actually put the 10x12 coil on today and gave it a air test using both the Silver Umax and the Eldo umax.
Balance wise, it is a tad front heavy that may tire out the arm afterwhile. But, I did not find it objectionable
considering I am used to those older type lunchbox units.

As for air test depth, found there was no improvement over the stock 8x10 spoke or donut coil on the Silver, just excess chatter.

As far as the Eldo is concerned, there was an improvement of 1-2" in all metal mode and 1 to 1 1/2" improvement in Disc. mode.
I did find there was a better response to a 14K gold mens wedding band and thin 14kt gold womens ring. Also large cents respond better.
Field testing on the beach will give me a better clue to see how it actually performs. Have to wait until the snow melts.
