    Best small coil for DFX to use at old farmhouse with tons of iron trash

    I'm looking for recommendations on the best aftermarket coil I should consider for detecting an old farmhouse property with barn and barn foundation, where the ground is chock full of square nails and bits of rusted iron, tin snips from aluminum siding being put on the farmhouse at some point in the past, etc.

    I was considering an Excelerator coil - either the 5 inch or the 4.5x7 inch.

    I'd love to know what you all would use in a situation like this.

    Thanks,

    Jim

    I'd use the latter of the two.

    4x6 shooter coil is great in trashy conditions.

    I only can talk to the 5" Detech coil.

    Pro's:
    light
    very good depth
    very stable
    good pinpoint
    DD type coil

    Con's:
    Have yet to find any

    It works for all kinds of trash, even in "hunted out" spots it can do finds..I've tried it.

    In my book Detech stand for good quality. 8)

    Geologists are gneiss, tuff, and a little wacke.
