For those small hammered coins, a higher frequency coil is a good idea. But if you're hunting an area where target separation is key, don't underestimate the potential of the 6-inch DD at 18.75 kHz. The depth that little coil provides never ceases to amaze me! HH Randy

cheers , my friend uses the elliptical coil on his lobo is the 6" DD better than the 5 x 10 DD as my local md shop has a second hand one in stock for

Found this quarter stater in the UK using the 70 with a 6 inch coil, you have to dig the
low numbers for those small gold ones and go slow.

Hello barnslyben, I'm not far away from you, live between J31 and 30, M1..... Just added the 9" standard concentric to my 705, tried it today on stubble, early days but I think I like it better than my 10.5" dd 7.7khz coil, I seem to be able to get between the trash and good targets better, pinpointing was brilliant too......like I said early days, maybe I was Just enjoying myself too much.
which is so easy to do with this baby.......
