m6 coils

[garrybk]

Hi
I just acquired an m6. It came with the standard coil. What other coils should I get?

Depends on what hunting you do.The standard 950 coil is a great all round coil that is underated by many in my opinion.....brilliant on the beach for example.If you are hunting in the trash,the 10x6 elliptical from whites is a good coil.....many use this as their standard coil.These two coils will cover most situations, but you may want a bigger coil for ground coverage on cleaner ground or the beach.Whites offer the deepscan but i've used it and it's just too heavy,their 12" spider coil is good but being a concentric coil will suffer in high mineralisation,great on the beach though.
Coil choice can start to get complicated but I think if you have the standard coil and the 10x6 you will cope with most situations.

The Eclipse 5.3 is a must have.

For me i like the 9.50 i like to keep moveing and not stand in 1 place to long but dont get me wrong i really cover the ground im detecting, maby i might put a few more Hrs in the 5.3,-- later on i want to get another MD so i have 1 with a large coil and 1 with a small one. Z

IMHO, the 4x6 DD coil is the best coil available for any White's machine. Good depth, great separation, feather light! Stays on my M6 95% of the time. Just recently got the 5.3" coil because of all the good I have heard about it. I think I will like it, just nowhere near as much as the 4x6.

Just my two colones (I am in Costa Rica as I'm writing this! )

My favorite coil for the M6 is the SEF 8x6, I leave it on 90% of the time. As far as I know, Kellyco is still the only place to get them in the States. It is a good one for trash.

Here is a review of the coil by Larry (IL)

For my M6 I added a 4x6 shooter and a 6x8 SEF. I use the stock 950 for the beach .The 6x8 is the one I use the most .

Hi garrybk, on the 6x8 coil, where dose it pinpoint? under the rod in middle of coil or under the tag just behind the rod? Sometimes i have trouble with the pinpoint, i just cut a little longer plug. Thanks Flintstone

My SEF 8x6 pinpoints right under the rod, in the middle of the coil.
