wondering everybody's intake on the 8" and the 5" coil's for trashy sights, I have also seen the double d coils, and the (excelerator) any info would be greatly appreciated thanx!:sick:
 
Hi Silver Drvn.
Well i have had the Quattro since it has been released. I swapped over to the Coiltek 9 and half by 5 and a half inches joey made here in Australia.The smaller coil has got better seperation between targets and is far superior in pinpointing. I would never go back to the standard coil.
Hope this is a bit of a help.

I have the excelerator 5" DD coil and love for areas that are super trashy. Its is a worth while investment.

It separates trash very well and seems to go reasonably deep. Not sure how deep it goes, but seems pretty good.
 
Hi SilverDrvn
I've been using the Minelab 8" coil for the past month and a half now and it is awesome in the trash. You can really pull out some nice coins from those trash ridden sites. Hope this helps.

I have been using the Coiltek joey coil for 7 months now and would only go back to the standard coil if a waterproof coil was needed at a particular detecting site. The coverage is still there as the coil is 10" by 5" and if I have lost any depth it is minimal.

Being new to the hobby I was grateful someone asked this question. But I would also like to ask if someone like me with limited funds should be getting a bigger or smaller coil than the standard 10".

I know it depends on where you are looking but I would like others opinions on which coils they use the most.

Thanks
 
Hello Dlsa. Welcome to the Quarto forum. Seeing you are new to detecting I would concentrate on getting to know your detector and at this stage and wouldn
