I got to do a real life comparison yesterday with the 10 x 12(my buddy Mike had it on his Explorer 2) and the 15 x 12 that I had on my Explorer XS. The signal I got had INDIAN written all over it. It was showing maybe 1/8" black on the depth meter. Since I was using a huge coil I knew this one had to be deep. My machine was singing out a high tone walking all around it in every direction but the 10 x 12 on the Explorer 2 would only grunt. Both machines were set up to 32 manual sensitivity and -15 iron mask(one thin line). I was really hoping this wasn't iron and was pretty sure it wasn't but I don't know the coil that well. I dug a big plug and the probe would not sound.
A few more inches of dirt out of the hole and I got a grunt with the probe. A little more dirt out of the hole and the coin started singing.
At least 10 inches down was an 1893 Indian. This was repeated with a shot gun shell that was in the coin range a little later. It was a little deeper than the indian, maybe 11 inches down. 10 x12 wouldn't sound but the 15 x 12 sang out.
In about 3 hours of digging I managed to find 3 indians down deep in one little area of a hammered park!
So far the 15 x 12 has found 7 indians in 3 hammered parks. I'm starting to wonder if silver dimes are going to work as well with this coil....????

Nice going Neal.:clapping: It's too bad that we have to buy bigger and better coils to find the old stuff, but when the shallow stuff is gone and not being replenished then we gotta do what we gotta do and spend the bucks to find the deeper stuff or borrow a buddies SEF coil.:rofl: Good story and thanks for sharing it with us.

Just got my 12x15 SEF today. Your reports give me hope! I have a few well-visited sites that I suspect have some items hiding in the depths. But I won't be able to get out to try it until the weekend...

Thanks for sharing how it's been going.

If you get time try swapping coils on your machines for a hunt or two. Some machines of the same brand/make are hotter than others. I like the 10X12 alot and tried the 12X15 but couldnt take the weight of it. No doubt its a great coil though, love the one on my machine.

Neal,

That is what I experienced as well (but I compared it to a PRO coil) - I got a better signal on the super deep items with that big-@$$ coil. I am thinking that the deep "sweet spot" on the big coil is a little larger, and maybe it gets a better sampling of the target..?

Just wish it wasn't so heavy...
