[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 674093, member: 4485"] Initially I wasn't too happy with it either but to be honest didn't give it much of a chance to start with. Recently gave it a good full day in ground I knew had deeper gold & I've changed my mind. It punches deep & ran pretty well, albeit in lower settings etc. than I'd normally use. Larger coils have always suffered more with EMI & been harder to tune. Unfortunately with the advent of more sensitive coils (Evo/Elite etc .) & more sensitive machines a side effect is the large monos now are more sensitive to surface mineralisation (as they are also more sensitive to small, shallow targets), regardless of detector, as well as consistent deep mineralisation or saturated ground. With older monos most would say a large coil could handle surface mineralisation better but not EMI. IMO that is no longer the case. Unless something better comes along it's now a keeper for me & I was thinking of selling it. Definitely not my go to coil though but definitely not a "dog" either. Just needs good tuning, balance & settings. [/QUOTE]
