The benefit of using a Mono coil is that it goes deeper than a DD coil of an equal size. However, Mono coils can be somewhat noisier in heavily mineralized ground and they will not allow your machine to use it's discrimination abilities. It is best used in the "all metal" mode. A Mono coil is more sensitive to small gold and is easier to pinpoint with.


The benefit of using a DD coil is that if it is quieter and handles ground mineralization better. The penetration profile of a DD coil is such that you do not need to overlap your swings as much. But it does not go as deep as a Mono Coil of equal size, it is not as sensitive to small gold as a mono coil, and it is harder to pinpoint with.


That is the reason why I think the Tesoro Tiger Shark picks up on the small gold.
The Tesoro Tiger Shark has both, the Mono Coil and Higher Frequency (12.5 Khz).
