Over the last two days I had a chance to use it for about 6 hours in places I have hit before with a 705 and the CTX with both the 6" and 11" coils. I had no exceptionally deep finds but did uncover some things that had been missed before.
As other have said it may have been because of the more complete overlap coverage rather than the extra depth potential on these occasions. A couple of early 50s Wheats were still nice finds in the areas I visited. It sure won't let you miss a 6" quarter. It is another nice tool to have at ones disposal.
I use a molle belt and harness setup combined with a HipStick and SwingyThingy. Parallel swings were easy and I had no discomfort after the longest 3 1/2 hour stretch I put in. Not bad considering I am 60 plus with problem shoulders from too many injuries.
In this area I doubt it will be my primary coil. I like the 11" as a start with both the 6" and 17" cleaning with their own special strenghts.
Jeremy with Vance Metal Detecting was a pleasure to deal with in purchasing the coil. Even though he was on vacation he was patient and spent unhurried time talking detecting and the XP Dues I am thinking of adding to my arsenal. His response to me wanting a coil was better than the dealer I had bought my two previous machines and extra coils from and he earned a chance at repeat business.
