Coil?

hello jshock you can buy second hand coil in this forum in sales or wanted or ebay and in most metal detectors shops. to see through iron you have to use as little as possible discrimination or switch from conductive sound to ferrous and use explorer without discrimination. if you want small coil, 8size is ok. you can choose form minelab original 8 cheapest and enough ok.-price used from 60-100$ sunray more expensive but I never tested dont have any opinion and sef 8x6 its more sensitive than minelab 8 and more expensive from 120$ and up for used. good luck Stasys

i think the x-8 or x-5 by sunray is the best. It really is personal preference

I didnt have any problems with the stock coil like some did.... but i have to say just going to the SEF 10X12 made a huge difference for me. Stasys has the ticket for hunting those areas thou.... you may have to adjust your hunting settings. If i hit an area i find productive i hit it several time with different settings or tactics. If i find a seated coin.... look out im digging a lot of trash to get it out of the way. You loose a lot of depth from the coil desensitizing on trash with high disc. and recovery from a tone seems faster than from a null. Also, for some reason in Ferr the recovery seems quicker off iron. TID isnt as good thou. Let us know how it works for you.
