OK, only been using the 10" and going to try the 11dd

[Rick N. MI]

Went out in my test coins and the 10" could hear them and went as deep as the 11" but the 11" was hitting harder and you wouldn't miss. If I wasn't careful I could miss them with the 10". I have a nickel the 10" hits great on and can't get a hit with the 11". Just shows you that you need to go thru with a small coil and that leads to my next question.

Yeah, nickles are tough for me using the 11...seems the deeper they are and soil moisture conditions have a factor with the TID. Plus, the tone they give off is a weak and common one, tabs hit hard though.. probably has something to do with hearing loss...I did get into one schoolyard a few years back where I got a ton of them once. Its something a guy has to really focus on though, foil/nickle/tab signal range. Let us know what you think...but after reading this forum for a few years, I believe that 5" is a must for these machines in the right locations...I've gotta get one of those next.

The 5" is the coil for me in heavy trash. The 6 1/2 see's very little use since getting the 2 coil package with the LTD. Besides seeing fewer targets and knowing you won't be covering a lot of ground with the 5", it makes me slow down and investigate those sneaky high tones intermingled among other trash tones. It has accounted for a lot of good targets that I otherwise would have missed, or already did with bigger coils. HH jim tn
