Well I picked up my 6" coil last week and was able to get out a day to hunt with it. I was hunting an old park where most of the older targets were 6-8" down. The coil performed awesome in the trashy areas with great separation and decent depth. I was able to pick up indians 6-7" with no problem. To me it seems just like the stock coil but only smaller. Sort of a "minnie me" of the stock coil. The coil makes you hunt much slower which I am a big fan of. I go super slow to with my stock coil so this 6" makes me go to a crawl. The only issue I have with it is for the price, there are not many places to use it. My stock coil has great separation to begin with. Also if I am hunting a trashy area, eventually I will get to all of the signals so I wont need to pick through the trash to get the good stuff. I may consider selling the 6" for lack of places that qualify for using it.

My Review of the 06" coil
- Thread starter jimzilla
- Start date
Well i would never get rid of mine but all i hunt is trash and the stock coil dose real good for a pizza plate coil in trash but the 6 is just a killer for me easier to analyze signals in a cluster of junk and i did dig 2 Indians at 9 inches so it's no slouch in the depth department.
I got my 6 inch coil 2 weeks ago. You are right when you say you have to sloooooooooow down. I did some surface tests with a target. If you don't overlap the ground, you can easily miss numerous targets. BTW, I just bought a lower shaft so that I have a quick change when I need to go to the 6 inch. It is a pain in the butt taking off those screws.

If you ever want to part with it-I may be interested

Sounds like a good idea. Possibly it should be sold in a Set like this?

That lower shaft is expensive though.
I purchased the coil because of an old park I hunt that is very trashy. One area that I have pulled seated coins out of is loaded with trash. Thinking there was much more in this area I purchased the 6" coil. I went back and found absolutely NOTHING. My opinion at this point, if you hunt slow with your stock coil you won't miss much if anything at all. I will probably keep mine but your stock coil going slow is all most will need.

Did you try hunting that area with another type of profile? Since I do not know which profile you use, you should try high trash if you havn't or 50CO/ferrous coin or ground coin. Some profiles I've found find things you miss with others.

Np. I've started hunting in 50CO/Ferrous-Coin, Pitch hold. I go slower and overlap my swings, and the pitch hold helps me hear something I might have swung too fast to hear. Haven't posted it yet, but I got a nice 3 penny coin spill on Sunday in the rain. A 1922 George V, 1919S Wheat Cent and a 1906 Indian Head Penny.

The problem with Pitch Hold is that it constantly changes the pitch of the threshold. In a trashy park I think that would be an issue since you would constantly be changing thresholds. I dont think there is a need for PH since even the deep targets come in loud. Unless of course you have hearing problems then it may help.
