[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 674546, member: 4485"] Sensitive Extra is either for mild soils (mono) or use with DD coils. It's main claim to fame is a better response on small but deep targets, so that's no surprise. There have been areas I could use it with a mono coil to search, but not too many. You could also just switch into Pinpoint mode? Large targets can & do effect even small mono coils over good distances. This isn't new & shouldn't require scraping a large area unless you have the audio settings ramped too high or are struggling with pinpointing with a large coil? Even the 6000 with a 12x8 on it sounds like it's onto a small target when sometimes a foot or so from a large target. That is why most times I will quickly sweep the general area to rule that out. Speakers have always been an issue in close proximity to coils. They used to sell anti feedback speakers (or something similar) but not sure how effective they were. Found: Low Feedback speaker [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.minersden.com.au/low-feedback-external-speaker-for-gpx-series-metal[/URL] [/QUOTE]
