[QUOTE="loamer, post: 47638, member: 981"] the 11 inch is the standard coil issued with minelab detectors. they are also the standard for your factory pre-sets. the 11 inch will be fine, all round coils on relatively open ground are fine. if the ground gets too scrubby or you want to investigate rocky or quartz littered ground where you cannot get good ground coverage with the 11 (that is having to continually raise the coil too high) switch to the 11. you will not get the same depth but it is better than swinging an 11 inch in mid air. take a back back, stow the 8 inch (on a shaft if you want) and start walking. as you progress and get used to the detector you may want to consider bigger coil, like a 14, 16 or 18 inch.
