Calling CTX 3030 Owners of the 17" coil.

[Rock Rock]

Hi,

Do you find yourself using the 17" coil much ?

Or have you used it just a few times and now it lays dormant due to it's weight making it cumbersome ?

Thanks

Love it. Use it more than the 11 or the 5, yeah it's heavy but it still has decent target separation in comparison to other large coils I've used. HH.

I've only used mine a few times, and that is with the harness cause I will detect 7-8 hours sometimes. The larger coil will most definitely go deep. I have dug coins close to the 12" range. I still haven't mastered the ability to pinpoint well with it. I also need to get it out to some older, well hit areas and see if it hits anything deeper. One advantage is that I can still run a tight discriminate pattern and pull tones from 10-12".

I am not a big fan of the coil and have sold my coil as I could not find a use for it. If I did more open sand detecting I would keep it as it is very nice for this type of detecting. However when I am near the ocean I usually choose to detect in the water as there is less pressure and finds seem a lot better.

I've only used mine a couple times. Most of the sites I hunt are too trashy or too overgrown for an extra large coil. I did find a US belt plate at 16 inches with it. With sumer in full swing I probably won't take it out again till late fall. Unless I go to the beach.
