17 inch coil CTX 3030

[Smithy3030]

This evening (june 7) I used the 17 inch coil for the CTX 3030 for the first time and it goes deep!
I found a chopping knife (probably World War two) 52 centimeter/21 inches deep in muddy, slightly salty ground.
And this with iron discrimination 'on'!
Who has experience with very deep laying finds and how deep?
Kind regards and happy hunting.

Wow, I use the 17 inch coil almost exclusively. I have not done at target near that deep.

I am not sure what to get, I was thinking of going with the 6" to get around alot of junk but at the same time I wanted to cover more ground and go a little deeper with the17. Know they have the nine, it will all straighten it's self out.I think I will keep the Eleven work it a little slower and useit underwater moor.Thing will work them self out

The 17" coil is killer on depth and coins on edge. I use it almost exclusively. I also watched a cc seated half come out from 9" plus and on edge. The coverage is unparalleled. I call mine the starship enterprise. I can hardly stand to use the 11" coil anymore. Just sweep slower and listen and you can hear the silver or gold in with the iron. I pulled out a merc. At 6" with iron all around it. Also a 14k white gold ring the same way from the beach. Grumpy
