What would be the advantage of using the 6" DD coil on my 800 and where.
Thx

Thx to all for the very helpful information. I have been hitting a park in my town that dates back to 1900, but have not found anything significant. There are several large old trees in the park that I know has to have some good items buried somewhere amongst the trash. Last weekend I found two coin spills but they consisted of modern pennies, oldest dated 1974. At least I found something. From the comments here, I think I will order the 6" coil and give it a try. It may even help me at the local beaches.
Thx again for the input. Steve
Digger, thanks for the previous post.
Thanks for the previous post. I am a little different from the subject, so I apologize.
Over and over again, I have to realize how useful small coils are. I would mention an example, I was extremely tired from the recent beach water hunt. It exhausted me both physically and mentally, and in the meantime I found almost only trash and worthless things.
The bottom of the freshwater lake bed is a mixture of sticky mud, stones, clay and sand, really disgusting. There are plenty of tiny iron grains and plenty of other tiny objects in the bed.
Tiny plate pieces, World War II shards, tiny lead fishing leads, rifle shot bullets, fishing gear, coins, foils, caps and all kinds of beach waste that people leave behind. A lot of people swim there in the summer and many hunters also go to that area.
After a long introduction, the point.
Fresh lost items can be found or ones that other hunters have not been able to find so far due to target masking. Therefore, micro jewelry and chains can be hunted in the area.
My brain was tired with the factory NOX coil, so many little tiny signs that I was less and less able to decide if it was worth digging or not. In many cases, there are multiple targets at a time under the scroll, so wherever I move, it’s hard to decide if I’m not sensing another object. Very frustrating. I also tried the small 6" coil , which made it less tiring to decide if it was worth digging or not. The difficulty is still digging less unnecessary garbage, leaving more time for valuables. It's not easy either.
Digger , thank you for adding another strength to try to hunt in this area again.
Going back to the topic: I was able to use the small scroll great so far in bushy, stony terrain, dense garbage parks, snorkeling in rocky sea. I’ve found a lot of nice things with the little coils so far. Much more than with large coils.
