KVM2 said:DEEPER...., may not be as deep...., super coil,.... 12 to 14 inches estimated....May be deeper because the sensitivity can be set higher than a stock coil.. In this entire post, until we get some hard comparison numbers, it is just a bunch of chatter...So, stock coil,,,,, settings, air distance in inches...8 inch concentric coil, SAME settings, air distance in inches...My guess is that the only advantage the 8 inch concentric may have over the stock coil is slightly better unmasking, and less ability to get hung up in brush.., also,maybe lighter?...All of which are definite plus marks..EMI is a problem, so IF it is negated by the 8 inch coil, a great plus..So, if you look at all the various aspects of what a coil can or can't do, even if the exact air distance is lower, the 8 inch concentric may be a coil to consider. So you have both coils, if you don't have one, I'll send you a wooden ruler..Going into super tune should be done in the hunting area. You do all that, we will proclaim you a hero, cut out a big star marked HERO, and nail it to your chest with 4d nails..OKay? It is your responsibility to give the best numbers possible, several people will be buying based on your comments, both past, and yet to be,..If they are not happy, expectations based on your comments, will you buy the unwanted coils from them? I will be buying one myself.. for brush hunting,and water hunting. The stock Spidoo coil is a Mother to swing in water..It will flat wear you(me) down even switching arms.

Hey, you forgot that the 8 inch doughnut coil pinpoints better than 8 x 9 coil does.

tabman said:OK here's a quick air test I did in my yard. Bare in mind I have terrible EMI. I was able to run the Vaquero with the 8 inch coil at full sensitivity and with the 8 x 10 coil I could only get the sensitivity up to a tad past '10'. I've come to the conclusion that EMI affects the depth even without chatter being a factor. At any rate, I was getting about 2 inches more with the 8 inch coil. If it got the same depth as the 8 x 10 coil I'd be happy because of all the other benefits of the 8 inch coil mentioned above.
I could have just lucked up and got myself a HOT 8 inch coil.I'm glad that I thought of putting a 8 inch concentric on my Vaquero.
Zinc Penny 11.5 inches with the 8 inch coil. 9.5 inches with the 8 x 10 inch coil.
Nickel 10.5 inches with the 8 inch coil. 8.5 inches with the 8 x 10 inch coil.
Dime 11.5 inches with the 8 inch coil. 10 inches with the 8 x 10 inch coil.
Quarter 12 inches with the 8 inch coil. 10 inches with the 8 x 10 inch coil.

If you could only get one coil, get the10 inch elliptical over the 8 inch, because the 8 x 10 will serve you well until you can swap it out for a 8 inch coil. From what I've read the 10 inch coil covers a lot of ground with each sweep. That would be nice when searching sports field for gold jewelry.

I'm sure the 10" elliptical would do better than 6"-7" on coin sized objects with the Vaquero. I think im gonna get it
