Was glad to get my six inch coil for my 800. I will try it out Monday since that is the first free day I have to search.
I will try it out on my super trashy site around the picnic tables at the rivers edge. This park is slammed full of people every weekend and on holidays.
I have had good luck with the Nox 800 standard 11 inch coil picking out some old hidden clad dimes among the trash so I should have a good compare with those hunts.
With my AT Pro, I just simply stayed away from those trashy areas.
The following week will try my 6" in some areas I know in North Ga around an old gold mine and some placer areas along a creek.
Small authorized Minelab dealers have a few, so guys and gals start calling around if you wish to get your 6" coil faster than waiting for large Minelab dealer. My small dealer who sold me my 800 2 months ago got three 6" coils allocated and immediately sold two and I got the third.
Doubt if I will get a larger coil than the 11". I had a Nel Thunder for my AT Pro and was chasing lots of hard to dig (in my area, roots and rocks) targets. In this suburban area there are very few plowed fields. There are some old hidden fields but are overgrown with 40 to 80 year old trees packed kind of close together with lots of big roots that my shovel will just not cut through. I envy you guys in the country who still have plowed fields with no roots.
