Small coil for pinpointing

[Budster]

I saw on another forum where someone made a pinpointer using a Tesoro and a 4" coil. Sounded pretty good to me, but I would think that a little smaller coil would be even better. However I have been unable to find a manufacturer that makes a smaller coil than 4". Anyone know of something smaller

Thanks

I have seen 3 inch coils by Compass but to me that would still be to big you would be better off just buying a pin pointer. You would need like a one inch coil or less never heard of any that small.Makeing a pin pointer out of a 4 inch coil would be like carrying another detector around with you.. kando

Well if you been following my comments regarding the Pistol Probe by Dectorpro, this is probably what you are looking for. How about a 1/2 inch "coil" that uses Pulse Induction? I used it for pin pointing before digging and on a coin size object it gives a window of response about the width of the coin with a moderate fast sweep (regardless of the 6 inch sphere of detection around the probe). Small coils usually cost at least a $100 so for $199 you've got a complete detector in hand held size.

Garrett makes a three an a half inch sniper coil for many of their detectors. Sunray has the best in a 1" inline probe that reaches down 3 to 4 inches for many detectors. I have one on my Sov GT.
