I use the large coil also and have had the same problem to start with.
Try to pin point a coin on dry land first to get a idea where the sweet
spot is . When in the water I work all the way around the target first
and when I think I have it pin pointed I put the coil. on it and drag it
back until the target is at the tip of the coil, then put your foot down
in front of the coil with your heel at the front of it. Move the coil out of the way
and replace it with your scoop; move foot to rear of scoop and push it down
while you lean forward over the target. Try to get your scoop straight up
and down if you can then pull the handle back while pushing down with
your foot. When you lift the scoop up; put your foot in the whole it made
as soon as you can in case you missed the target. If you have to scoop
again put scoop in hole and work it forward for the next try. The more
times you try for that target the harder is is to recover it. Practice in shallow
water first until you get the hang of it. Really not that big of a deal!

Pinpointing is done as XT18000 said. The smaller coil is more sensitive to the salt and black sand. Or you could say the larger coil in not as sens.

I hear what your saying but, on the other hand is the smaller also more sensitive to targets and the larger is not?
