[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 579750, member: 16174"] Coil cutouts have nothing to do with relic vs gold prospecting, they are just a great way of changing the weight of the coil. They nearly always make it lighter than a solid coil of same dimensions but the cutout also affect the volume of the coil so if the coil fill is buoyant then cutouts reduce buoyancy. This is of benefit when trying to detect in creeks etc. The down side of cutouts is the tendency to hangup on sticks and the impossibility of a good tape seal on the coil scuff cover. You probably associate cutouts with relic hunting because for that you want depth and the targets are not tiny so they often use big coils and with big coils that can weigh over a kg you really want to minimise weight so you often see cutouts in larger coils ( +14") [/QUOTE]
