After reading some reviews and watching a few personal videos of the Garrett 250 in use, I went ahead and ordered one. It is coming with the standard coil and I was wondering if I should go ahead and get the 9x12 in the mail too? My interest is just local use and eventually go to the civil war areas. I have no clue where detecting is allowed in Ohio yet. I've been interested in this for many years and finally took the plunge. Maybe I'll see some you out there sometime!
