[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 554442, member: 12139"] yes thats a good point, I have noticed boots play a big part in large coil stability so I use a quality farmers rubber boot... very comfy too. Also no metal objects in front of shirt & pants. The 11" MineLab are a ripper coil, for whatever reason a lot of people tend to underestimate their ability, moreso the benefits of owning them. Countless times I have reverted back to the 11" coil and had good success.. their sensitivity is definitely up there amongst the best. I would suggest anyone new to the GPX series becomes competent with their detector using the 11" ML coils before venturing out with any third party coil. If people did this we'd see less questions being raised asking why they cant tune a stable threshold whilst retaining good sensitivity and or depth. You need to know how a coil reacts to be able to learn or tune a detector, the 11" [b]MineLab[/b] coils are a fantastic benchmark for this. Traditional or flat wound, they both have their good and bad points just like DD or mono does. Learn your machine and in particular your benchmark then you will know when and why you use a specific coil. [/QUOTE]
