6 inch coil

[metalfun]

Hey guys Bought my 600 1 and a half years ago. Only around 40 hours on it, Just purchased the 6 inch coil for it and wondered if there was any advice for settings using the small coil.,Havnt been able to get out for 6 months due to work and prob, have to start all over on learning curve, Thanks for any advice,

You can probably max out the sensitivity, with the small coil. It rips deep 6" dimes and 7' pennies

Same settings. But in trashy areas I’d be lowering the sensivit so the signal doesn’t affect other close targets.
many time I run mine at 15-16.

Like Doug said, with the 6" coil I'm looking for separation and target recovery speed not depth. Sure it will go deeper than it's size but the point is to pick good targets out of thick trash. Turning up the sensitivity to max is just going to make iron false louder and shallow aluminum mask more. So I would hunt in Park 2 or Field 2 which are designed for smaller, deeper and harder to hit targets with default recovery speed, sensitivity on 15 to 20 (normal default) and enough iron bias to do what you need to do. If iron is your issue, you can turn down the iron target volume level to very low, change the pitch of the iron tone to one that does not offend your ears, change the iron tone break point and hunt with some iron accepted. I often hunt with -4 or -3 through +40 accepted. If I just press the horseshoe button to accept everything I sometimes get some ground noise on -9, -8 and -7 which is not coming from human produced iron. With the 6" coil, swing a little slower, investigate solid sounding signals from more than one direction with some iron accepted and really listen.

Great for water hunting easier to swing under water.

I did some extensive testing in my backyard with an 8” clad dime and the 6” coil. Just because it’s a tiny coil doesn’t mean we can going whipping it through iron infested / junk filled areas. At least not from my experiences...
The best combo that worked for me was a recovery of 3 and sensitivity at 22 or higher.
This little 6” coil smacked the dime with no problems. However soon as I went to recovery speed of 4, the tone started slightly breaking up. At 5 or higher forget it.

my other settings are Park1-multi freq
GB - 0
50 tones
“All-metal” mode
Iron bias - 0
Very slow swing speed.

I realized if I wanted both depth and separation,
The above combo worked very well for me.
Best of luck

I have never found another 6 inch coil combo to be as outstanding in depth and ID...than this 6" with the Equinox. The depth is phenomenal.
