I received my 12x10 sef coil today and went to my test garden and let me say this first, that I have only used the 8" bbs coil on my sovereign before so you know the comparison.
1. The 12x10 is very much more stable than my 8" coil.
2. 12x10 is a very hot coil! I had a concern that I wouldn't be able to get close to small trees (due to the V section) 4" in diameter and less to get those coins, but the V section is hot on the surface any way, further field testing needs to be done in that area.
3. coins on edge with depth I can pick up more easily. some I couldn't pick up no more due to some type of masking. yet I picked up other coins in my garden that the 8" coil did not see at all
4. On depth I could pick out one of my dimes with sensitivity at lowest setting and in auto.
5. Pinpointing: I will need more time somewhat due to the coil being super hot! Like that V section I suppose on targets with depth the hotness will weaken and then use the center line.
Overall on my test garden the 10x12 is deep and will grab those coins on edge more plus at better depth than my 8" coil.
BUT as for those trashy areas I'm not so sure on separation as I now cannot see some targets due to some type of masking.
I made my test garden several years ago with little knowledge at the time, (and did not want to move the coins) so yes it turns out to be more realistic and challenging.
The improvements over the 8" coil: super deep, very stable in higher mineral and more stable than my 8" when approaching electro mechanical fields.
Grabs coins on edge and at depth. I've read the wot does the same with coins on edge. But thats about it.
I will say the 12x10 is smaller than what I expexcted. Smile Critterhunter!!!!
Like I said pinpointing I want to do some actual field testing as I could'nt get bthe results I wanted due to my test garden set up.
As far as separation in my test garden due to the lay out separation was not as good as the 8"fbs coil.
I will give more details on this after actual field results.
Yes, I'm pleased with this coil, being so hot and to be this stable is great.
