Times are hard and I have just purchased a Classic III with a Mr.Bill's Mod's and a 6000 Pro XL together for a fraction of their cost...I have been a Minelab user since day one and never thought of buying another brand until this deal came along..My question is,the Classic came with a Ferrit 5.5 coil only and this machine will be used for [trash] sites only..Is the Ferrit coil a coil of choice or should I purchase another.....

The 6" coil is a great coil for trash and you can interchange coils between both machines. What coil came with the XL Pro?
You have two of my all-time favorite detectors! 
The 6000 Pro XL is, by design, a moderate sweep detector which lets you use a fast sweep w/o loss of depth and performance in bad ground (high mineralization). You can actually get a little better depth if you sweep it at a moderate-to-fast sweep, but it doesn't have to be all that fast. With the Signal Balance control set as high as tolerable and just at the point of instability (noted by a twitchy display needle), and with a smaller coil (6
I don't know what "fraction of their cost" amounted to, but I did note that your other response said the 6000 Pro XL came w/o a coil. If all you have is the 5.5 Ferret coil then you ought to shop for a coil to use on the 6000 Pro XL. To me, the modified Classic III SL is at its best when a smaller coil is mounted and I have owned a few of the 5.5 Ferret coils and they were terrific! The Classic III SL is a dedicated slow-motion/quick-response detector and is the one to go to when hunting in trashy sites, brushy conditions, or in and around building rubble.frijiid said:
