What's your favorite coil

[gambler13]

What coil do you use on your Xterra?

I began with the stock and bought the 6" DD HF which I like a lot especially in confined trashy areas. Recently, I purchased the 10.5 DD MF since I hunt almost exclusively in large old parks. My only problem is that if I use the 10.5 too many days in a row, I get a sore shoulder so I often switch between the 6" and 10.5.

90% of the time I use the 10.5" DD HF. It seems to do best in our soil. I also feel that it gives me more stable target ID's than the MF coils especially when hunting in 99 tone mode. Believe me, I use them all but the 10.5" HF in my experience just out performs them all. As I had mentioned in other posts, I use it first and the follow up with the MF. If it's a really trashy area then I use the 6" coils in the same order.

At least for me that went away. My shoulder would get so bad that near the end of the day I was detecting left handed. This is year two with the larger coils and I haven't noticed a problem this year.

I like to use the 6' one. I can go for many hours with that one and it can go really deep. I rarely use the stock coil now. I know it takes longer on big fields but it is easier for me to pin point. ^_^

i have trouble taking the 5x10" hf dd off my 70

Most of the time it's the 3Kh. If there is alot of trash or if the ground changes I go to the DDHF.

10.5 DD MF on my 705 and 5X10 DD HF on my 70. From time to time the 9" CC LF coil and the 6" DD HF coil. Heck Minelab doesn't make a bad coil. HH TomB

Believe or not, if I only had one coil to choice from it would be the under-rated 9' MF stock coil.

For my area it gives me all around versatility.

It's waterproof and I do a lot of fresh water hunting.

It hits well for me on small gold and coins.

I have the 6"HF the 9" LF and the 10.5 MF and they are all great and serve their purpose.

But if ML only made one I would want the stock coil.

Good Hunting

I like the 9 inch 18.75 for deep civil war bullets and the 6 inch dd and stock coil for yards . I also like the 10.5 for relics. Do not really have a favorite but I believe the 9 inch 18.75 is going to be my favorite for deep bullets. I dug my deepest 69 caliper 3 ringer the other day at right at 12 inches I had a video on my phone on sd card and I accidentally erased it. I did show it to my hunting buddy and he was impressed at the depth. Barely gave a tone .

6" DD HF for me.

The same as mapper65, the 10.5" HF DD is glued on the machine now for beach hunting and prospecting.
