With that much area to cover the larger coil would be best. Only thing is your experience with it. Pinpointing is a bit different than with the stock coil. Takes some time to learn that part. And some day when I actually own one I'll know that too....heeheh. Just quoting from my bro who uses his all the time in large areas........

[quote awhitster]Use the stock coil. It is probably to trashy in the strip for the large coil. Sounds like a good place to hunt.[/quote]
From the way I read it, it sounds like an easement type of area. I wouldn't think trash would be the problem........Might be good to start with the stock coil and if the area seems fairly clean then maybe switch to the larger one.....IMHO

I have been there and done that. There is a lot of trash. It will be slow, but the sniper coil is a must. You don't have to do it all in one day. If you hurry you will miss a lot. It is important to learn how to detect the deep targets. They may only sound off every other swing, but if they pin point deep, dig it. I would do it in jewelry mode. There are too many old things that hit around pull tab. If you get tired, quit and go back another time. Enjoy every square foot. You have a good place to MD. The train depot will be the most challenging, because of trash. It can also be the most rewarding. Do it last.
i have been out once with large coil and spent the whole time (about 2 hrs) trying to get the pinpoint down its a little tougher ,but not as bad as i had thought it would be ,i got it down to about a 5 inch plug which ain't to bad it was at an area iv hit pretty hard a quite few times iv pulled 4 silver dimes out of the same general area ,no silver that time but i did manage 2 Wheaties on top of each other @ 7 in passed them over every other time ive been there hopefully the silver gods are in a good mood today thanks for all the input....john
well im back hit about a quarter of it prety hard alot of junk targets but the few good ones made up for it
p.s. the silver gods must be out on spring break ,made out with 1. 25 in clad, a key, a piece of an old combo lock, junk pocket watch ,an old shotgun shell ,a 44-s wheatie ,and a 14k ring that just happens to fit perfect (about 4in down hit pulltab)
