5.75 "CONCENTRIC DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Took the Vaquero with 5.75,went over exact plot of ground covered thorough with,9x8",10x12",Minelab Sovereign 10",8"concentric,Musketeer,10".Found mercury in area other detectors refused to go,a pile of old pot metal,remember the exact spot with other detectors!.Also a key,lead fishing weight,A late model penny.Way to go 5.75,i don't won't to take you off!!.Chucky.
 
I have the 5.3 concentric on my Tejon and it never comes off. It finds coins and jewelry DEEP, pin points dead on and it is balanced on the Tejon perfectly. I love using that set up in the dry sand.

Nice find Chucky....love them Mercs.
 
Sounds like a dynamite little coil. Any opinion on the 5.75 wide scan?
 
5.75 DD W/S,Would use in areas with high mineralization,other than that i would do the concentric.In normal ground conditions a concentric will penetrate deeper than a widescan coil,Also noted in test search today can run up the sensitivity to max,due to small search matrix of coil,getting less feedback from ground.Chucky.
 
about the DD.

My opinion is stay away from DD coils. They're harder to pinpoint with and basically they scatter the signal that's supposed to make for greater area coverage.

Basically all you really get with a wide scan coil is less depth and poorer pinpointing.

my 2 cents.

I've been impressed with the depth of the 5.75 concentric on the umax machines. Impressive for a smaller coil.

yah thanks, i am thinking of a spot to power it up with the koss amp!,i am super charging that puppy,i bet the 8" Round concentric is great too,but i have to wait on that one,i have to trick out my minelab musky first,i think i am going to try the 15" WOT.Chucky.
 
Oh i forgot,did you notice the dime was bent,remember the wheat i found with a bullet hole,weird ain't it,the dime looks like it took a bullet,for real,found near wheat!.Chucky.

Kid - As I understand it, the DD coil has a smaller footprint (think straight line instead of inverted cone) and so it has less depth but is better for pulling good targets out of heavy trash than a concentric coil. That would make it especially good in those "bed of nails" old homesites.

I know a DD pinpoints differently than a concentric, but I would think pinpointing would be easy with any small coil.

Have you used the Tesoro 5.75 DD?
 
They dont "scatter the signal". A better description is a windshielf wiper coverage and Ive used a load of them and whereas some are better than others, they are what you want if you want coverage and depth. A concentric coil looses most of its coverage at depth and a widescan will loose some but not nearly the same. So while the widescans footprint is smaller you get better coverage. I can only speak for the ones Ive used which are the 6x10 and 4x6 from whites, the 7" and 12x10 tesoro widescans, and most of the coiltek/sunray/minelab widescans for the sovs/explorers. also the 11" widescan on the F75.

Try one yourself whichever brand you use. pinpointing is a little different but real easy in my opinion.

Does Tesoro offer the widescan in the 5.75" coil in the umax models? All I've seen are the concentric coils, except for the HOT technology. Thanks
 
I love u guy's,the 5.75" conc is not coming off no time soon!!!!!!!!!!.Chucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.:smoke:
 
You're right on target with the association of different coils to mineralisation, Chuck...if you can afford a DD and Concentric, go for it. You wont look back. Congrats. on the finds. I usually now have at least one detector with me with a small coil when I'm hunting, and for the past five or six months I've used small coils for about 90% of my hunting, and finding just as much or more. Certainly finding more that others have missed. Good luck, Sapper.
