I would stay with the stock 7.5Khz coil. Learn how that coil performs and you will be better at judging how the other coils perform. I've had good success with the 7.5Khz coil. It also pinpoints well in trash. Conductive trash will always be a problem, but learning what most of it sounds like, and how the ID meter responds with help you avoid a lot of it. Good hunting, David@Dixie

The stock coil is my "go-to" coil. The accessory coils each have specific applications. But for learning the detector and general THing, of all the coils available todate, I like the 9-inch, 7 .5 kHz concentric coil. HH Randy

Thank goodness for this forum and an Owner's Manual that is really an owners manual, not just a quick start guide.

I began a year ago with basic detectors, and glad I did. Most of the terminology I'm studying now, I understand. Just a matter of taking my time and learning the X70 one step at at time.

Thanks to the experts here who take time to help us new ML owners get off on the right foot
