4" vs 5.75" epsilon

Well I use my 5.75 alot, but I have yet to find an area trashy enough for the 4".
The 4" has very very little ground coverage and unless you're detecting in literally a bed of nails, you will either have to tediously overlap 2" or miss alot of targets

Very slow covering ground with the 4" (yes, jld, I've used one). Had mine on the Cutlass μMAX a couple weeks for doing totlots, where it can get close to steel play equipment poles. Besides the very small area of coverage, depth loss was also obvious, it only going to about 5". I like the 5.75 coil much better; deeper and better coverage. Nicest thing about the 4", was that it's practically weightless to swing.

yeah thats what i was thinking too... i have the 5.75" delta for the vaquero and like it... was thinking of a similar rig for the B2uM.... but i also have a 5" on the T2.... so
maybe i have the small rounds covered.. i may just hook up a clean sweep... folks seem
to like them.

Hey you have the cutlass umax too? Not the Cutlass II umax?pinenut said:
If so you're the first person ive heard of that also has one.
Before my Mojave, it was my super up 12khz compadre on steroids!!!
I've only seen the Cutlass II umax out there that runs at 10.
Sorry didn't mean to overtake the thread

no worries.... its all good... after a night if research, ive kinda decided.
Stefan, I have both Cutlass and Cutlass II. I've only used the Cutlass in totlots, and haven't yet taken the II out to play. Had to have "the pair" when a clean II came up cheap ('twas only $150 shipped and looks nearly new). Cutlass is nice in totlots.
My Cutlass μMAX; got a 5.75 coil on it now:

Haha awesome!!
Mine came stock with the 8. Cost 140.
It was the gentleman's first and only machine. Never played with the insides either.
Clean as a whistle.
I like it. Mostly for the high audio like my b2. Runs really nice.

clean sweep. i have the small rounds covered enough with the vaquero and T2... the $$$ would be better spent on something completely different

That all depends where your hunting.I just found a Standing Liberty Quarter next to a cement pad used for picnic tables.About 2" from pad.Didn't hit it the week before useing Vaq. with 5.75" coil or Mojave with its 7"coil.because couldn't get close enough to pad because of rebar in cement,no problem with 4" coil.Also use it in the woods,better inbetween roots,get closer to ground than the others.Theres really a use for all the coils,just depends where and what your hunting .

yeah i dig that, but the T2 has a true 5"... after reconsidering. i think the clean sweep is the way to go
for me at this point... i havent had any problem not getting that coil close enough.... i saw a deal
on a 4", but hadnt heard much about it, so i thought id kick ithe idea around... the 4" isnt best for me at the moment.

I use a 4'' coil on my old Silver Sabre11 use it for mudlarking local rivers,its the preferred combination for 'London Mudlarkers' the 4 '' coil on basically any old Tesoro,no other combination comes close.Its not the deepest coil but its all about target separation and discrimination.
I also use mine in local river crossing(fords) as roman use to throw votive offerings into water to please the water gods,also a local one is a magnet for 'grannies taking grand children' paddling,the normal scenario is that grannies lovely lump of ice on her finger is of a better and higher grade one than new rings,and as we are all aware when hands get into contact with cold water rings can and do fall into the water,never to be seen again.These are the types of areas that a 4'' coil comes into earning its keep getting in between the rocks or shallow channels in rivers
