what is this coil..

[LS hunter]

It has Explorer fps on it and measures 7x7 .I think it's a double Dr. Coil... I need to know what all this is because I'm thinking about trading it for a ten pointer..

might be the 800 8" you got pictures

Picture =1000 words It could not be anything but the FBS 8" coil which is supposedly only 7.25". There is nothing else like that around.

Thx....Im looking for a pinpointer and was thinking about trading the coil for one.....Do you think it conceivable....

 

[IDXMonster]

A new PP averages 130.00 and that's right in line with a used 8" coil from ML so yes,absolutely.

Thanks guys..Im really loving my SE Pro...The one thing the SE will do is find silver and deep too...

 

[LS hunter]

Do you guys think I should keep my 8 inch coil..and if so why I have the pro coil that came with the SE Pro...

A lot of guys dig signals as long as there is a good response from one axis,then an axis 90 degrees to that. When hunting in places where there are many targets per sweep,that stock 11" coil may pick out the signal,part of the signal or none of the signal due to other stuff masking it. With a mid sized coil like that 8", the scenarios gets better,not as many things under the coil at once,still it gets great depth....close to stock,if not the same,depending on the mineralization of the soil. A sniper coil,around 4-6",will be as good as it gets for separation and again,some get very respectable depth. A lot of guys who are serious about the hobby have muliple coils,if not multiple machines with multiple coils.
There is one thing that will get you many coins...go out and hunt. Don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out every nuance of everything and over analyze things. Go sweep old areas of old properties with as big a coil as the conditions allow. THAT is how your coin count will go up,not worrying too much about other things. Keep the 8",get a sniper at some point and go hunt hunt hunt! I used to spend too much time preparing. As long as the site has potential in the first place,you have a chance.

I'll second that. Time in the field is the most essential learning tool and the only place you'll find what you're looking for. Do the research, find potentially productive site, and hunt!
