[QUOTE="Guest, post: 29662"] Hi Backcreek - its the Whites 6" x 4" DD shooter coil [url]http://www.goldsearchaustralia.com/index.php/our-products/search-coils-1/search-coils/shooter-4-x-6-dd-coil.html[/url] I've only had it on twice so far & the first time I went back to the 10" x 6" as it was far too noisy for the ground I was on, but that may have been more fault on my part for not perservering with it & playing with some settings etc. Only had limited time so took it off. The next time I tried it on some milder ground but can't really say there was any increase/loss of depth. Targets (junk unfortunately) were at similar depths etc. to the 10" x 6" & to be honest this is the coil I stick to on the GMT. The stock 10" x 6" coil is a great fit to it IMO but I still need to play about with the 6" x 4" some more. The real benefit I can see for the 6" x 4" would be fishing about in creeks/gullies & getting into those little hiding holes, cracks etc. It even looks tiny next to the 10" x 6" so it will fit in some small spots. To be honest I think you would lose a bit of depth with the 6" x 4" but it may be a bit more sensitive to even smaller gold which is pretty hard anyway - the smallest piece I pinged with the 10" x 6" coil went 0.06gram so if it picks up smaller I'll need a magnifying glass to find em :lol: If your ever around the Central West let me know & you can give it a try.
