LITTLE CONFUSED???

HI, IM A LITTLE CONFUSED, WHICH COIL IS BETTER ON OLD COINS, 10X5 DD 18.75, OR 7.5 DD COIL ???

 

[Mark in S.E. IA]

I use the 10.5 DD 7.5 coil and I pretty much only hunt for old coins, but I NEVER pass up a clad Quarter, lol

A lower frequency will penetrate the ground deeper, and will hit on high conductors harder. It's why so many XT705 users would kill for a 3kHz DD.

My 7.5 DD and 3kHz CC get pretty much even time. I can't remember the last time that I used the 10

I only use the 3 kHZ. It has been my favorite for a long time. I have 3 other coils for the X-70 and they are just dust collectors. No, none are for sale.

so , what about 7.5 dd wot coil vs 3khz , would they have the same depth Ive heard the wot coil is 30% deeper the the 7.5 minelab coil?

15"wot, 9" 3khz, 10' 7.5khz, 7.5wotdd, all others? Im getting better with stock coil (haveing fun except for heat) but was going to upgrade with a 10"MFDD for 505 before the weather gets a little better. I want to hit some old fair grounds and corn fields, old parks, etc. Is the10.MF still best bet...............? East Ia.

The 10" DD 7.5 khz freq. is a good, deep coil. The 3 khz is also. Really depends on your soil mineralization which would be a better choice.
