    COIL QUESTION WHAT TO USE

    I own an XLT and have been thinking of getting a coil for deeper coins and larger scanning area...Does anyone know of a good one that will work on my unit? and has anyone tested them against he factory coil? Thanks for any input...TnT

    Re: COIL QUESTION WHAT TO USE

    There are naturally many claims for the extra depth of the off brand coils. I have found most of them all hype and a waste of money as they aren't made to last and of poorer materials and quality standards. The manufactures make the best coils for the money as they have your interests at heart. They want you to do well and tell others.

    This does not include Coiltech.

    I really like the bigfoot coil for my DFX. Lots of coverage 18", pin points off the toe, easy to get into the hole 4" wide. However I don't think it will go deeper than the standard 9" coil.

    I have seen the bigfoot coil but I do a lot of woods searching and I was afraid it would be hard on it....

    Re: COIL QUESTION WHAT TO USE

    I read a post about manufactures make the best coils? They have my interest, BUT others don't Why make a coil that is crap, many who make coils are people who detect, many make coils with your interest at heart and JUST like the manufacturer, they provide a service to make this hobby better, even coiltek! Everybody looks at making a profit first!!
