hey, hey, hey..

I just now bought a 4" Epsilon coil for my Bandido. I think it will also work on my, yet to arrive, Elderado.

I hope it's a good sniping coil for getting in between the trash.

Eldorado and a couple of Bandidos too..! You're a madman! :thumbsup:
You can't get any snipier than with the 4". It's a fun little coil, but you sure have to move slowly with it.

Good buy!! Hopefully you got some areas that need it.
I got one for a great deal but still haven't found an area in need of such a sniper coil. But always glad to have it.

I'm hoping it can get in between iron nails or near them enough to eek out a goodie.

I mostly use mine next to concrete slabs with exposed rusty rebar and wire.
Found some coins that I couldn't hit with a larger coil.
Other than that the required slow sweep speed and limited depth
make it tough to use in more open areas.

Yea, it would take forever to detect a field with this small of a coil.
I just want it for when I'm in an area of a high concentration of nails and other junk.

I've made several of my better finds with that coil.

What detector did you use it on? Did you have your sense all the way up?

I've used mine on the Mojave and a GoldenSabreII.
I can max the sensitivity on either machine and it's not a problem.
I think the smaller coil "seeing less ground" so to speak keeps
it from getting as chattery as a larger coil will at max sensitivity.

Use it quite often on a Silver Sabre µmax with sensitivity fairly high.

Not that depth matters that much but do you know what your deepest find was with the 4" coil?
