Question on the mxt pro?

[Treasureman25]

Hi im new to detecting. Well the new detectors that is. I've used an old coinmaster 6000 before but now want to upgrade. I am going to place an order for the mxt pro soon. I've decided I want to get the 9.5 coil for the trashy areas. Now here's my question. I plan on hunting some caches, hoards, ect. I want to read as deep as possible into the ground. I'm seeing that I can get a 21x17sef coil compatable with the mxt pro. I've been unable to find anyone or really any good info on this coil setup with the mxt pro. What can you tell me about it? Also while using a coil like this will I still be able to see coins say in the first 5 or 8 inches of soil?

P.s. I'm from Wi where we obviously get a lot of frost in the winter. Some are trying to tell me any jars of coins or bigger items will be pushed up closer to the surface over time. Have you ever heard this?

Yes you should be able to detect shallow coins with such a large coil. Be prepared, because it will be heavy. You might consider not buying the massive coil and putting the money towards a second machine. Such as a two box vlf or even a pulse induction machine for deep cache hunting. Yes I've heard of frozen ground moving things around, but I don't believe it's always upward.
