I know this probably cannot be answered in absolute terms and will depend a lot on target size. Let us just say we have two Excals. One is fitted with a 10 inch coil and the other is fitted with a WOT. We are trying to detect a nickle. A plain old nickle. Will the WOT always be deeper on a target this size? Or will beach mineralization sometimes create enough background "noise" so to speak, that the smaller coil will actually be able to penetrate deeper?
And how about a target the size of a half-reale? Will the small size of a coin of this type make using a smaller coil preferrable? What about the effect of mineralization on this size target?
I am wondering about this issue both in wet sand and in shallow water.
How about my next trip to the Treasure Coast? Would I be ahead using an Excal with a WOT or one fitted with a 10?
