Low frequency or high frequency and why

Can I get some insight on which coil would be best suited for me? I know everyone sees thing differently, but I would like to know why everyone picks the coils they have and what kind of detecting you do. I primarily hunt field sites and wooded areas, but occasionally want to go to dry fresh water beach or the park. What size is suggested with the frequency you use. I can't afford them all so need some good advice.

Best Regards, Weston
 
I have the 11" LF and the 9.5 Elliptical HF. So far I haven't taken my 9.5 off. I have some hard hit sites so the HF at 28 kHz seems to really like pulling conductive targets out of the heavy iron with good depth. At 80 kHz it just plain kills the gold in tot lots. No beaches here in southwest Kansas so I can help you there.
 
Thanks for the reply I just wasn't sure I would ever need 50+kHz Hunting field relics and coins. Does anyone know if the 50+kHz will help in iron or be a disadvantage in the iron or affect it at all?
 
depends what you looking for ?low freqs suit me as i am looking for large items and possibly deep .i like to keep it at 4 to 8 khz
 
I have 2 LF coils and 2 HF. They are all handy for different situations. The HFs will reduce emi and really hit deep gold. The frequency has no effect on iron so 50fz is only an advantage for gold hunting. Some folks say the LFs hit high conductive coins better. Maybe but the deus is so deep anyway, I'm not yet convinced this is a major problem. The one thing I don't like about the hfs in trashy areas is you can determine deep rusty bottle caps a little easier. with the LFs. If I had to choose one coil given that you do a lot of field hunting, I'd do the 8 inch HF round which will hit just about everything at 28khz and give you decent coverage. I'd do the elliptical later if you can afford it for really trashy areas. HH
 
I love my 9 inch HF.. a great range of frequencies and it is a killer in heavy trash.. Where I am searching

in drowned towns, the nails and trash are almost not to be believed.. The HF coil really separates the

goodies from the garbage
