Specific Coil need for MXT

[Canewrap]

I hunt Civil War (CW) relics and more and more of the sites left to hunt are areas full of modern trash. I have a 6X10 DD coil and while its good on seperatation, I need a coil with a little better seperation, but that can see bullets up to about 8". Most of the CW stuff falls in the 5"-9" range on these trashy sites. Any suggestions on a coil for the MXT that will give that kind of depth as well as good seperation? What size is the 5.3 coil?

The 5.3 is 6.5" wide and is a concentric. Your 6x10 is about 5 5/8" wide and is a DD coil. I don't know if a 4x6 can't do a 8" bullet. Rob

I think the 5.3 would do the trick. Definitley more depth than the 4X6, but with good separation. JMHO

Hey Ohiofred, I have one on order with Kellyco and I'm expecting it in a few days. They are available now. And, the price wasn't bad, you need to give them a call.

Initial impressions, so far, are very favorable. I put the coil on my machine tonight, right after I got it, and it has great balance. Its not really that noticeably heavier than the stock coil, but then I have my machine setup to swing left hand and the shaft is about as short as it will go. But, I'm used to it being setup that way so as to optimize balance. I turned the machine on with my sens/gain set at about 6 and it gave a real nice discriminate beep on a bolt in a floor joyce at about 4 or 5 inches above the floor. But, Wow, when I turned the gain up to +2, I almost couldn't hold it high enough off the floor. Also, when sweeping the floor it gave two discrete beeps close together over two targets close together. Man, can't wait to get this puppy out in the yard. If it wasn't pitch dark right now, I'd be out there. I have every hope that this will give the depth I was looking for with the F75, without all the EMI sensitivity and cheap build problems.

Hey Cane,

I hope you enjoy this coil! I know the 15x12 has served more than excellent in some moderately trashy, hunted out ground in Tennessee. It's amazing at the sensitivity that these coils have but yet are more stable than White's Coils.

Can't wait to see some finds!
