Detech SEF Butterfly Coil

Nugs Bunny · Jan 9, 2015

My new coil is on the way! I can't wait to test it out in the yard and see if they are as good as some folks say.

I decided the 8x6 would be a good choice to start, if I like it I will most likely pick up the other two available for the MXT Pro.

I love the 8x6 on my V3i. I've never put the 10" DD back on since I bought it. I think you will be happy.

I read a lot of good reviews on them, my yard will be the test that's for sure. Old house lot's of garbage and it's next to an old iron mine so the ground is highly mineralized in areas.

I really want that 18x15 beast coil, I may pass on the 10x5 and save up for V3i. That's the machine I wanted but at the time it wasn't in the budget, I'm pleased with the MXT Pro but the V3 is better in my opinion.

I know a few people who can't afford a machine but would go hunting with me if they did, so it wouldn't hurt to have a spare machine that I can lend out.

Amazed with the difference... I'm SOLD!!!!

So I went over a spot in my yard that I previously detected with several coils. I knew there will still targets there but they were confusing my machine, using the SEF coil I was able to locate each of those targets individually.

There is still plenty that could be found with the old coils, I basically cherry picked most of the yard previously. There are areas that proved difficult because there are targets on top of targets on top of targets. The SEF was able to differentiate each target instead of confusing the machine.

Most of the coins were dropped after the last time I detected, but a few were hidden by iron. I ran in coin mode, then in relic mode, most of this came from two holes. One of the best locations in my yard has hundreds of targets. I could turn up the discrimination or screen out the top few inches of dirt, I just skip over it for now. I will take some video to show how many targets there actually are.

I will definitely be getting the 18 x 15 SEF coil soon, I only wish they made a smaller one for extremely trashy areas like my yard.
