Any diggers tried the 12.5 inch coil with the GTI?

Hi diggers! Has anyone tried the 12.5 inch coil with the GTI? This is the most expensive coil option. If you have tried it, do you get more depth? And does the target size imaging work just as well as with the stock coil? Keep on diggin' Kevin from Ipswich, MA
 
I have used the 12.5" coil, but it was the non-imaging coil. I did get some extra depth using the GTI 1500. It worked good in the deep snow on ski slopes. But I bet the imaging coil is a much better coil to use, as it is also much lighter too. My coil remained sensitive to the many coins I got at around 10 inches.
 
It performs just like the stock coil in all respects only you get 2-3 inches more in depth and cover a lot more ground.

I found the big coil a little more difficult to pinpoint with, so I got a GTI-1 inline pinpointer and it helped. I didn't notice a lot of difference in the operation of the detector except it was heavy and threw things out of balance. It is the imlaging coil too. I think I prefer the stock coil for 99% of my hunting. JIM
 
Hi Jimmie, Willie, and Johnnie: Great to hear from you guys! Well, the feedback seems mixed. Some say heavy, but not much else. Others say we can get another couple inches depth.

One thing I'm a confused about here, though, is that some write of a non-imaging 12.5 coil, others say they have the imaging 12.5. As far as I know, at least on Garrett's website, under accessories, there is only one 12.5 coil available for the GTI. I don't see two 12.5 inch coils available, a nonimaging one, and an imaging one. I think that the 12.5 listed for the GTI has imaging.

Well, I'm going to try the 12.5 coil when I get my 2500. I know the big coil throws off the ergonomic balance of the unit, but I have an idea about to counter that.

Thank you for your help. Happy hunting, Kevin from Ipswich, Mass.
