Detech 18"x4" DD coil for Garrett AT Pro/Gold.

[nesral]

Anyone tried a Detech 18x4" DD Arrow coil on a Garrett AT Pro/Gold. ?
I could make a guess as to the answer but just in case

Don't think many in Australia would have tried one?

Looks like I'll have to get one in order to see how they work.
One is now in the mail.

Someone besides me must have purchased one of these coils, just went to have a look at the website, there are none left.
Lucky someone

Are you using that tector for coins, surely not for gold? Interested. Mackka

Coil expected mid next week.
Coil will be used mainly for beach work both wet and dry, but will try different locations.
Saw a few public sandy volleyball courts last week, that might just be a place to try a new coil. ?
I call these places "Sandys" Gold & Gem Fields.

Attached the new Detech 18"x 4" DD coil to the AT Max and took it for it's first beach hunt/test.
This section of beach is mainly used to get from street parking to beach/water area, so free to search in peace.
With a sweep area of 18" this coil proved to be just the right size for an area like this.
Depth and sensitivity is excellent, but I prefer coins that are close to the surface.
The combination is a little chatty on the wet beach, but then again I did have it on near full sensitivity.
