I just traded for a AT Pro. Really think I am going to like it. Definitely love the iron audio. With my old machine if I ran with low disc. trying to find gold rings. old bottlecaps always sounded like a good coin. With the Pro, I dont have this problem. I was curious if anyone has used the 4.5" coil much. How deep is it? Thought it would be good for hunting trashy construction sites. Thanks, Mark

Depth 4.5" coil ?

On the ACE, I got about 6 inches on a silver dime air testing it. You should get at least that, probably more like 7 inches in good ground. If you manually ground balance your detector and lower the balance 5-10 numbers, you will even get even more depth.
Good luck!

I have used smaller coils on other detectors for one reason. To get between the trash targets. The stack coil on the AT Pro does that very well. I wonder if the small coil is even necessary?
I can see maybe getting closer to a fence or something. But for actual trashy spots the stock coil works fine for me.

I get some decent depth with the sniper. Nothin' like the stock though. I use the sniper in tot lots and have regularly dug coins and such at around six inches. I agree,the stock search coil is awesome for trash seperation, though. The main reason that I got the sniper is for actually "sniping" tiny gold nuggets in creeks and streams. That sniper will get tiny nuggets much smaller than the stock search coil
Happy Hunting!

Bill S, thanks for posting the 4.5 air test. Now I know what to expect from the 4.5 I just bought, primarily for tot lots.
