Tried a new coil tonight...

Sold my Bounty Hunter and saved up the rest for a Sunray X-12. It's a 12.5" coil. Just got it today so I took it for a spin at the park. (although I thought I'd use it more for the beach) I still have a long way to go with it, but it handled my trashy park real well. I probably did more listening than digging but what I did dig was DEEP. ( a couple of wheaties). Pinpointing targets was not as hard as I thought it would be. I just picked up the signal and moved the tip of the coil back until the signal disappeared... Wasn't off by much on the first one I dug. I'm going to have to bring a ruler with me next time I go :) The wheaties, while deep, sounded nice and "flutey" for all you ExpII users. I'm going to need a good day just to spend digging anything that's deep even remotely sounds good. Problem is, digging that deep takes a little longer; but it's fun!

To be continued..
 
Can't wait to hear about that dime at one foot! :)
 
Sounds like a good experiment, keep us posted. I tried an 11 inch coil one time years ago- didn't impress me, was quite heavy. Good luck, steve in so az
 
I've been looking into getting one for a while now because of all the beach hunting I do. While depth is one reason, coverage is another; lots of real estate at the beach (although this coil will probably be useless in the dry sand with all the trash). As far as weight is concerned, this particular coil comes in lighter than the stock 10".
