A 7" coil became available on the local dealer's web site so I picked one up.
The coil cord is plenty long and it came with the skid plate, Velcro strap and bolt set. Looks quite small and light.
I like the way Makro sets up the Velcro strap. It is fixed on the cord so it will never fall off and get lost.
I am using the same rod that came with the Detector and I thought the coil ears were wider than the original DD.
After installing it was easy to tension the bold to keep the coil from flopping. I hope that is OK to squeeze them ever so slightly.
I turned the unit on and tested it in the front yard just before dark. Since I was close to home there was some EMI but the EMI disappeared and was overridden by coin targets. In other words whenever I found a coin, the coin signal over took the MASKED the EMI. How is that for a turn-around? My front yard is littered with coins. At times I just tossed some out there for the fun of it and the grand kids.
Because it is a concentric coil the location of the target is right on center. No Guessing and maybe no pin pointing needed. This might spoil me.
Tomorrow I think I will get a chance to test it out in the wild. Headed out of town for a work meeting - A lot of places I can stop and test.
Also Sunday the local metal detecting club will a seeded hunt. The way the coil is working would be an advantage to quickly center on the seeded coins quick and easy. In these hunts the 100 some coin they plant are pretty much gone in the first 5 Min's. Guy fly through there as fast as they can.
Happy Hunting
