Good afternoon, this past fall, I got quite the deal on an XP Deus that had only been used two or three times. I love the machine, mine came with the 11 inch LF coil, which I am finding to be very stable, but a little too big for every day use. I have been looking at the 9 inch coils and would probably select the X35 as my go to as I am primarily a coin shooter.
First of all, and I know; soil conditions, soil conditions, soil conditions... Does the X35 “kill” the LF coils, or would I be OK with a used 9 inch LF if I got a good deal? Remember, I coin hunt 99.9% of the time.
Second, I have a base program that I built that has been showing the coins no mercy. It’s a 12K program with an 8K counterpart (ID NORM = Off) that I use to scrutinize high TDI iron targets without using notch or tone breaks. Do base programs created for use with an LF coil translate nicely to the X35 coils?
This cold snap has killed off my money tree so I need to find the most cost effective means of obtaining a 9 inch coil. Thanks for your input!
