G`day Nugget, How much With the new price reduction?.. and what are the benefit's of the bigger coil as opposed to the standard 8.5x11 coil ?

Bugger! Just looked at the date on your post

 

[Nugget]

Hi Keggs, the coil is still for sale. $130 + postage and it's yours,

The larger concentric coil is designed to go deep while still providing a high level of sensitivity. It's perfect for dry sand beaches, parks, ovals etc. The 8.5x11 DD coil that comes with the AT Pro is a perfect all rounder and ideal for semi trashy or mineralised ground. But out of the two, the slightly larger concentric does provide better ground coverage and sensitivity at a greater depth depth in low trashy or mineralised ground over the stock DD.

It really comes down to they type of environment you're planning on detecting.

Let me know what you decide.

Nugget.

Hope this helps the comparison

Thanks Nugget, mmmmm! will have to think about it as my next purchase was going to be a sniper coil for the trashy areas.

Thanks also to Tassiejack, very informative bit of info.

Results like that can vary significantly though depending ground conditions and the environment that the test was carried out in. It wouldn't be fair to compare a Concentric against a DD in mineralised ground for example.

The general consensus (and according to Garrett) is that a Concentric searchcoil will in most cases outperform a DD of the same size in both the depth and sensitivity department when used in 0 to low mineralised ground, however a DD will outperform the same sized Concentric searchcoil when used in mineralised conditions. My personal experience suggests this to be somewhat accurate.

So according to the above I'm a little skeptical of those test results especially given the larger diameter of the Concentric.

At the end of the day it really comes down to your individual needs. My personal preference is to use a DD.
