[QUOTE="condor22, post: 146742, member: 1932"] Read this [url]http://www.minelab.com/products/consumer/accessories/coils[/url] There is no one size fits all, that being said here's the simple bit. Small coils are usually more sensitive to small gold at shallower depth. 6" - 8" Large coils are usually less sensitive to smaller gold, but go deeper. 15" and up Medium are a good all round choice 11" - 14" Small coils are lighter and therefore easier to swing. Larger coils will cover more area per swing Elliptical coils are good for tighter spaces. DD will discriminate Mono won't. These are all basic things freely available if you Google. [b]But before you consider any of what I've noted, you don't say what Brand, Model or type of detector you are asking the question about..........................does make it easier to answer.[/b] [/QUOTE]
