Was hearing so many positive comments on the coil that I ordered one. Just wondered if some of the finds I see are made with the stock big coil or some with the smaller coil.

Hi Randy,
When using the little elliptical , concentric coil , I first ground balance then run the sensitivity as high as I can before it gets chatter .
My other settings are -
DISC LEVEL - 0
NOTCH -1
# OF TONES - 3H
PROCESS - dE
Here's a 1 + 1/2 hr. hunt from a couple of nights ago .It was at a local park which has been hunted hard for years .I hunted both wood chips covering dirt and plain dirt that evening . Everything I found was from 1" to 3" . The 43S Merc and the 1953 (once fully gold plated ) aluminum , bezeled , Elizabeth 2 Coronation coin/medallion were dug under a baseball bleacher , both at 3". Everything else was at the 1" to 2" range .
That is a car wash token on the lower right corner . I used the small open field hunting a few days prior to the hunt shown and dug a lot of clad in the 5" to 6" range . Id gets a little "iffy" in that range but the tones and the Id combined will help you get some decent targets . It will dig some very small targets too but that's one thing I like about a small coil . You can get really close to metal bars and wire fences with it too .I don't think you will be disappointed , I like mine a lot .

Can't beat the service from the Original Dixie Metal Detectors. Ordered it about 3 pm Friday afternoon online and it was on the porch today, Monday, when I got home from work.
Box was so slim that I though they forgot to put the coil inside. Man is it small next to the original F75 coil. I am already thinking about what trashy site I can try it out at. Several of the relic hunters said that is the only coil they use. It might take a while to cover a large field but it looks like it will be good for getting around corn stubble.
Will try it out this weekend somewhere and let you know how it goes.
