Amazing separation of junk and good items! I must for coin shooting in parks!!

You thought the AT Pro was good before! The depth loss is very little.

I don't have an at pro but I have the 5x8 for my 250. I wouln't comment on separation but I will say pinpointing is awesome I can hit a coin within an inch

I own it, on an AT Pro, it went on my machine, came off once. What the hell was I thinking? Put it back on, and it never came off since. Great coil, it really makes the AT Pro a different machine. You won't go wrong!

Makes those trashy areas fun to hunt. It gets good depth also.

The stock coil works great in open areas and semi trashy areas. It's by no means a slouch of a coil the 5x8 is the go to coil for the trashy areas though.

Most areas I hunt are littered with iron with a small. 5x8 coil you can pick stuff out the trash it's a great coil for iron and junk infested areas u will love it if that's what type areas u hunt
