At kellyco they sell coils for the Tesoro detectors and it says they give you the option for Coil with short cable or coil with long cable. why do they sell them at different lengths? I'm going to try and answer my own question by saying. the longer lengths cable is for the tall man shafts?? and the short cable is for the standard stock shafts? And what is the proper way to swing a 3"x18" wide scan search coil. What is its purpose. is it a DD configuration?.

I have a 10X12 DD coil I bought from another hunter that has that long cord that I use on my Vaquero.
No big deal, I just wrap it around the shaft a few more times and it stays out of the way.
If I ever hunted a creek this cord could come in handy.
I could leave my control box and shaft safe and dry on the bank but get into the water and manipulate the coil by hand.
They also make extension cables to really get out there, also.
DD coils are a little better in mineralized soil, but you give up a little bit of sharpness on the disc.
I don't have a 3X18, but I use my 10X12 for the same purpose which is covering large, wide open areas a little quicker and more efficiently than with concentric coils and I never get the feeling I am missing much.

::Update:: Ok so my Tesoro golden umax deal fell through. i ordered one from metaldetectors.com but by the third day i reviewed my purchase and i noticed that my order hasnt been processed yet so i cancelled it. i Trust most of the dealers on finds treasure forums but im not familiar with meteldetectors.com. so i guess i wait.. HH guys, find that gold.
