Anyone bought the new hot clean sweep yet?

[size=medium]... and used it today. I have a Golden uMax for it, which works very well in combination. ALL detectors should have selectable TID. 
The clean sweep coil is very heavy and imbalanced, dangling like a mutated arm on the end of the lower rod. Using it is much like mopping a floor.
One way to assist with the balance is to reverse it, so the long end faces rearward. Then sweep it only from mid-line out. I switch arms often and sweep from the midline of my feet out to the far side of my swingin arms reach. One mistake is to try and make huge passes with it. DONT. Just try to develop a comfortable rhythm and keep your swing ends under control. It also works in the water, but is a bee-yatch to manipulate when submerged.
But it is about covering ground, and it does that. It has adequate depth on dry sand, too, 6-8", depending on the target. Maybe youll get a little more with the V, I dunno. That wont matter much, to be honest, until you get the strength and the hang of using the coil. Besides, there're plenty of goodies in the dry sand so you dont have to dig craters in recovery.
I've used my V in the dry sand and I cant recall EVER having to dig really big holes to recover dry sand targets.
Personally, just between you and me, unless your diggin relics in plowed fields or virgin woods, that depth hype is mostly blown up anyway - to sell detectors.
Back to the clean sweep. It is a double "D" coil, so remember that it is hot along the centerline and it is hot enough to find foil bitsies and bobby pins at normal depths. BTW, you pinpoint off the ends of the coil - it can be a little weird at first, until you get used to this.
Just remember that it is a purpose-dedicated coil; use it for the right things and it does a great job. An added benefit of using it a lot during the season is you will soon be able try out for the WWE!
Heres the nut from todays 2 hour hunt. In the middle is a small loop earring. The Golden/Clean Sweep had no trouble detecting it. A few of the coins, the rusty "blob" nail and the little stud earring above the loop were found in the water with a Garrett, but the rest were dry sand finds with the Golden/CS.[/size]
