Can anyone recommend a coil larger than 13" for the Etrac

And can you comment from experience whether it's worth the extra weight as far as depth goes?

Hey John, how's the pinpointing with the WOT? Depth wise???

I have used the WOT on several occasions when I was looking for a big depth advantage - like the pits in the mud volleyball tournament. I measured 13 inches on a nickel. Probably wouldn't have dug it, but I thought there was a good chance it was a gold ring. It's a beast to swing, but my swingy-thingy made it much more bearable. I tried it at an old baseball field and got several signals which had maxed out the depth meter, but gave up at about 8 inches where the soil became harder than adobe.

Hope that helps!

WOT is a great coil, easy to pinpoint with and capable of deep finds. Unfortunately, it's heavy. I use it to clean up a site after hunting with my smaller coils.

Pinpointing is very good. I have used the WOT or "Wonderful Orange Thing" for years. I have found most of my best coins with this head, and that's because it goes deeper where the old coins are. I also like the fact that it covers more area and I can leave the sensitivity in Auto and run it in 2 tone Ferris..

I have had good luck with my NEL 15 inch attack coil. I have gotten coins to 14 inches with it and can swing it without a harness for a couple hours.

...and here I was just sure that WOT meant "WEIGHTY Orange Thing"!!!

I don't think the weight is bad at all. Maybe for older or smaller people.
