Went to a football field where I picked up a bunch of quarters several days ago and got nothing so headed to two of my favorite bark chip playgrounds and discovered how deep this puppy goes. All of these quarters came from 10 inches plus and a couple of the dimes came close. All of the quarters were buried in the hardpack beneath the bark chips in spots I had passed the stock coil over days before without a peep.
I would dig down through the chips to the hard pack, find no coin but still have a signal, then I would have to dig into the hard pack two or three inches and there would be the quarter. So if you hunt bark chip playgrounds with your new 12-incher be prepared to dig deep. Also the pinpoint signal at these depths was barely noticeable.
THis coil is very sensitive so depending on where you hunt you will need to play with the sensitivity until you feel comfortable because of its big footprint otherwise you will get a lot of falseing and it's sensitive to very small objects. I settled on running the sensitivity at four bars and in some spots even that was to much.
PInpointing is just like the stock coil and right on the button. Getting close to metal playground equipment is much like the stock coil. This coil is sensitive to some junk like pencils, tabs, foil. Scan slow with this one or you may miss some targets. This one isn't a speed sweeper.
We have some more sunny 70 degree days coming so hope to hit some soccer fields and big parks and see what I come up with.
