[QUOTE="stevewilko, post: 569647, member: 8651"] Howdy! Overall - what detector are you using to drive your coil choice? First thought to mind is to 'split the range' and perhaps concentrate on an 18" coil choice. Mono for cone shaped detect pattern with depth. Then to assume that the bench test / field test observations will show similar depth capability over the modern coil choices. But then again, or in addition, the coil is only a comparitive component of all the factors in successful prospecting / detecting. I havent seen a definitive 'side by side' comparison test on the new'ish Detech 18" concentric coil which might warrant further investigation because it is light but comments online suggest it needs an (are available) skid plate. I would also look for a second hand late model coil to save capital. But that's me! I have long pockets and very short arms! Trust these thoughts help you... Cheers Wilko. [/QUOTE]
