Well I've made up my mind to buy a new coil for my DFX, but I'm having a problem deciding which will be best for me. I'm looking at either a 1400DD or the Super 12.
Expectations: I want added depth but don't want to loose sensitivity to smaller targets. Not necessarily small jewelry, but dimes, pennies or tokens. I want the added coverage for hunting large areas with little trash. Probably mostly relic hunting, but I might use it in some areas like football fields and parks.
I seen it posted, several times, that the Super 12 adds about 2", and the 1400DD adds about 4" in depth compared to the stock 9.5. Anyone care to confirm/deny this? Here in Kansas I've not really ran into a high mineral soil where I hear the 1400DD excels, but I also hear it's pretty heavy.
For those who use the DFX and happen to have used both coils, which did you prefer, and why? I realize each has it's "better than the other" conditions, but if you had to pick only one, which would it be?
My problem is, I make up my mind only to see people getting rid of the one I thought I wanted to buy the other. Then I see people posting about how much they liked the one everyone else is selling. I get the feeling I'm missing something.
