short review from an british detectorist:
------
Prior to using a SEF Coil with my F70, I used an 11" DD Coil and found it to be light, sharp on response and has good depth; however, after using a SEF Coil, I have not returned to using the 11" Coil; ok, so there is a down side, the SEF Coil is heavy to use but you soon get used to it; the advantage it provides is enough to overcome the weight problem, I have found more items with a SEF Coil than any other used with my F70; some of the items were very small, including Cut Half and Quarter Hammered Silver Coins, and I've even found a Gold Ring at well over 12 inches deep, yes it has great depth, so I'm very satisfied with the performance of my SEF Coil. As for using my F70 on the beach, I'm not really interested in detecting beaches for finds. I have found the Prizm V to be a good detector for beach hunting. I have not tried using my F70 in water, as in brooks, streams, fords, etc., though I dare say it would work well enough, as long as there is not much rubbish in the water course. If you haven't tried a SEF Coil on your machine yet, I would advise you to give it a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.

i hope its help.
