Anything I should know about compared with the stock coil? Other than I'll get a little more depth? - Jim
 
Always buy a lower rod for your new coils so you can switch coils easy.You will probably hardly put stock coil back on and get the 4"sniper coil.It act similar to stock watch depth meter on cans and guesses. If i jumps from 2' TO 6" as you pass over object probably can or big object.Small jump in depth meter usually small object.When lot of coins in small area close to surface 2"to4" it will sound like pinball machine.Really good coil.
 
Not really.....it covers a large area much more quickly. It also pinpomts like the stock coil. I either use the 9 x 12 or the hockey puck coil. You made a good move. :)
 
Thanks for the input gang, I look forward to getting onto the beach with it, where I've done pretty well with the stock coil. - Jim
 
I agree that it's mostly the same as the stock coil, however I found it a little less forgiving on pinpointing than the smaller stock coil. In my experience I either spend a little more time digging, or a little more time pinpointing, either way the recovery to me is just a tad slower. Worth it for the depth and amount of ground covered faster.

Thats true to some extent. Being the coil is larger, mistakes in pinpointing usually cover
slightly more ground.. So you want to get your side to side measuring as close as you
can. So I'll be real careful on the side to side when I get close to the tone drop out point.
The fore and aft measurements are usually less of a problem I think.. The tone drop out
is a pretty good indicator once you get used to the different depths. IE: a bit back if deep..
