Hi im new to detecting. Well the new detectors that is. I've used an old coinmaster 6000 before but now want to upgrade. I am going to place an order for the mxt pro soon. I've decided I want to get the 9.5 coil for the trashy areas. Now here's my question. I plan on hunting some caches, hoards, ect. I want to read as deep as possible into the ground. I'm seeing that I can get a 21x17sef coil compatable with the mxt pro. I've been unable to find anyone or really any good info on this coil setup with the mxt pro. What can you tell me about it? Also while using a coil like this will I still be able to see coins say in the first 5 or 8 inches of soil?

P.s. I'm from Wi where we obviously get a lot of frost in the winter. Some are trying to tell me any jars of coins or bigger items will be pushed up closer to the surface over time. Have you ever heard this?

I just got a MXT that came with the 9.5 inch coil. Granted I am just starting to learn this thing, but I just came from a old quarry full of pop tops and iron and IMO that coil is not the ticket for trashy areas. You get $150 in Whites bonus bucks with your purchase and I am definitely getting a smaller coil. Either the 5.3 or one of the smaller DD's which I could use in the mountains also to look for nuggets. Hope this helps! Dale
