[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 51203, member: 147"] My personal opinion on the best coil range, and this will vary for many depending on where you detect, is, firstly i wouldn't be without an 8x6, or the standard 11" round, as these are your bread and butter coils for the abundant sub grammers and up to around the 8gram mark. The 14" round is probably the most versatile size if you're over in WA and in the GT. The 18" round i wouldn't swap for all the tea in China, and accounts for 90% of my larger nuggets.....but it has its limitations on the East coast where undergrowth limits its use. I have a few ellipticals for fast coverage of WA ground, and the best of these is the NF 17 x 11. Coils are a very personal choice and determined by the locations you most work. Each will have their own favorites, and should use a coil suited to their location rather than somebody elses suggested favorite. ;) ....Tip.... Don't bother with the 36" drag.... unless you're following dozers. Have two mates with them and both resold them. :/ Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
