[QUOTE="Narrawa, post: 99980, member: 3694"] There are a number of reasons i myself use elip coils. My most used one would be the 17x11 NF mono. The biggest reason for this coil is, ground coverage. It has a footprint of 17" with each swing, which when trying to over ground, is better than 14" which would be the closest round coil to compare it with. (Tho the 14" does have the edge when it comes to outright depth.) The 17x11 has very good sensitivity to both shallow, and deep targets, and would have to be one of the best sized coils for general detecting where sensitivity, depth and coverage come into play. Elips have a hidden advantage, more windings to bring the coil up to tune, that gives them a tad more oomph over their depth reach. It also gives them a slightly elongated cone compared to the more circular one from round coils. This advantage comes into play when you just clip the edge of a deep target. However as said above, the field from these shaped coils tends to be very strong to their reach, apart from being easier to pin-point with, there a lot better at poking in and around trees and bushes.
