15" WOT Coil

[Anonymous]

Here in the UK, a fair amount of my searching is done on pasture land, some of which has never been ploughed. I am considering investing in the 15" wot coil to give me a little extra depth on these fields, but am concerned that I will lose sensitivity to the smaller hammered coins that we search for. Can anyone enlighten me to the depth performance of this coil regarding the smaller coins/buttons etc.

Hi Nick
I've just ordered one, after looking for answers to that very question. I've seen people rave about it on various forums - try these from this one :-

Nick-I have had a WOT on the Explorer for over a year and found them to be very compatible. Finds have ranged from cut quarter hammered and pigeon rings, to a 10" x 8" x 8" lead Roman cremation box. The pinpointing can be a little erratic, but the coverage and some extra depth make up for it. By the way its light enough to allow long periods of searching. Finally, one drawback is that the extra size/weight can cause fatigue damage to the lowest part of the stem.
