Question on the 4.5" sniper coil

Sorry if this topic has been beaten to death, but...

I already have the 5x8" DD coil for my AT Pro. Do you think there would be any benefit to adding the little 4.5" to my arsenal, or is the performance in trash so similar that I should just stick with the 5x8?

Thanks

I have it attached to my AT Gold and should be putting some hours on it soon. Standby for a week for some results.
 
Hi Wayne,
I have 2 AT Pro's and 1 AT Gold,,,,
one AT Pro with stock coil
2nd AT Pro with the 5x8 coil
and the AT Gold with the 4.5 coil...
Before I got the AT Gold, my AT Pro's
were one with the 5x8 and the other
with the 4.5 coil,,, before I got the 4.5
I only used the 5x8 coil..
Anyway, this area that I had been over like 10 times
super trashy,, and when I got the 4.5 coil, I went over
that same area,, and on my 2nd pass, I got a good sound
and dug this 14 K ring.....
And another time, my hunting buddy with a E Trac and the 11" pro coil,
said check this target,,I got a 74,,, he dug it, and it was a 7" deep zinc,
the 4.5 coil is my 2nd favorite coil,, the 5x8 is my first favorite...
The 4.5 has found me lots of good stuff in real trashy area's, that others have missed...
Some people told me it was not a very deep coil,, but a 7" zinc, is ok in my book..
Now this is in my soil,,, + or - 80 on the GB....
I love using my 4.5 coil....

Thanks BJ, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I get a GB around the same as you so performance should be about the same.

Does the sniper coil on the AT Gold aside from being able to get into tighter areas, change the frequency on the AT GOLD?
 
AT coils do not change the frequency.
 
Okay thank you., Mine should be here in a few days! I can't wait to get out and do some detecting. Its been a few years. I used to have a Gold Bug Special Edition. So I look for top getting my At Gold.
 
I purchased the 4.5 coil and have a very trashy area be hind my house my sensitivity is on the 3 spot AT PRO I used the the pro coins mode I pink up everything which reads 44 73 81 99 I pick up everything no coins all trash don't waist your time. just used it today 2/22/14
