Exacly.so coverage is what I got.that's ok tho,I wanted that.pinpointing is ok,I've been off an inch or 2 but I'm not us to the xterra yet.overall,if you want more coverage go for it,depth just buy a 10.5 dd.

first outing 15 inch mf coil
- Thread starter petew
- Start date
Air tests are NOT representative/indicative of actual field conditions. That coil is capable of a significant increase in depth of detection out in the real world.
Get some more time on that coil and you'll see.

More than once I've almost given up on deep signals because I was in over 12", but I'm glad that I was driven to find out what had set the machine off. The 15" LF practically lives on my 705, and I use a custom small shovel most of the time because of the depths that I find good targets.
I think of my 705 similarly to a "reliable witness". If it says it saw something, it did. But is it always what it thinks it saw? Not always, but most often it's at least close If I've done my part.

I purchased the 15" WOT MF nr 33 when it was released a couple of years back. Very good coil,its deep and cover a lot of ground fast. Howewer,I havent used for a year until now on my new fields where I only used smaller coils due to all the trash,well if you call iron trash 
Putting on the biggy one helped me find some deeep good stuff,but separation is not the best in infected areas,that is of course caused by its size...
Putting on the biggy one helped me find some deeep good stuff,but separation is not the best in infected areas,that is of course caused by its size...Took the big coil out today and hit a signal,well signals.so I pinpoint which has been good to me on this big coil.dug a 6 inch plug and stuck the pointer in plug and hole,nothing.dug a few more inches,pointer gets a weak signal,figured iron.so I dug some more for the he'll of it and not one but two met vs come out,I swear it was 12 inches down,I couldn't believe it.I'm having trouble loading pics with this phone but I'm gonna post a pic of this hole and the mercs. If anyone is wondering about the depth claims on these coils,I have the goods to prove it.my numbers bounced from 34 to 38 but we're solid sounds.
When I got my 15" WOT (3kHz) last month, I tested it out in my yard the first evening. One particular place, I kept getting a solid, if narrow, 42-44 signal. However, no matter how I dug, I didn't find anything.
I spent this afternoon winterizing the garden and lawn and decided to give it a go with the shovel at that spot. After much sweat, it turned out to be a large, bright-green copper canning lid flat on the bottom of the hole...pretty dang near to 30 inches down. My detector probably thought it was the mother of all pennies; yes, these coils go deep (with the right target!)
I'm wondering how the heck the lid sank down that far, as I was completely through the top layer of soil and well into the heavy clay we often find around here.
