I think I want to try the Blue Max 4X6 on my XLT but some people say the depth is disappointing. I have a Blue Max 600 and a 350 Snooper but I like the idea of that narrow field of a DD coil for better target separation. Anybody got any experience with this combination?

Depth is disappointing with the 4x6 on any machine. It's not made for depth but cuts through heavy trash ok and works by fences and tot lot poles.

I have a 4X6 coil for my XLT and it is my #2 go to coil. It is surgical in trashy areas. I have found many coins in areas hunted by many other detectors. Just slow down your swing speed and I believe you will be amazed.

I liked the 5.3 on my XLT over the 4X6. I have heard others that had the same opinion. The 5.3 is definitely deeper.

I use the 5.3 and the 4X6 on my MXT. The 5.3 is good in trash and deeper as well as covering more ground. However, when the trash is really heavy I put the 4X6 on with great results. It's really surgical in tough trash and lets you get much closer to fences, playground equipment etc.
