One place for the Sniper is around playground equipment that you can't get close to with larger coils and it excels in thick trash picking out coins. And you can use it just about anywhere. I've used it in sports fields.

I've heard that, and do it myself. But I've never actually
tested it to see what actual difference it makes. Myself,
I use a nylon tie strap to clamp the cable down at that
point. Then I wrap the cable in a coil up to where you
plug it in. If you use tape, it might be kind of a hassle
when you go to change coils. The tie strap is one where I
can easily loosen it with just my fingers enough to pass the
cable through. Another plus is no sticky buildup to attract
dirt. The sniper is handy anywhere that you have a lot of
targets, or trash and ID'ing them is kind of a hassle due
to them being close together.
The sniper is small enough not to get too many targets at
once, so ID is usually faster, and it's fast to pinpoint
also, as you just "X" the target for max strength.
You don't do the "pullback" maneuver like you do with the
big coils. You just center the coil side to side, and
forward, backwards to get maximum strength and tone.
The center "X" on the coil marks the spot.
The sniper coil may well end up being my favorate coil
for coin plunking. It hits to about 6 inches too...
The vast majority of coins will be within that depth.
I like all three coils, and all are good. But I hunt coins
the quickest with the sniper if speed means anything.

Something some of you may not have noticed, the sniper coil is a coaxial coil. Meaning with the pinpoint button held in the transmitted signal only goes out the bottom of the coil and not the top. Great for hunting under metal objects like metal bleachers and ect.
