V3I and an 18x15 butterly coil....

[CleenSweep]

Anyone have any experience running this setup with a V3/V3I? I'll be primarily running it in Mixed Mode Pro in not too trashy, deep woods areas around old cellar holes....I'm sure right around the foundy's, they'll be some nails and other ferrous crap, and I'll be bringing an AT Pro with a much smaller 6x8 loded on there, but would appreciate any info on just how deep this coil gets and how well pinpointing can work if there IS a bit of iron around?

It should perform well with good separation
cover some ground in a hurry

That "seperation" is my big concern. I don't want to invest 3 bills in a coil you can ONLY use in deep woods or fields...Anyone else use either a 15" or 18" SEF type coil and care to chime in? Is your usage worth the investment? I'd love the depth, but how it it with seperation and masking?

Sooooo....Not one person here has upgraded to a larger SEF Butterfly type coil and can give some input? I'd almost rather get a smaller 6x8 one for EACH machine, but am very tempted to go deep in some of these spots I'm looking at.....

I am wondering too. I might get either the 15 or 18" one. My concern is the 18" dosn't say V rated but not sure what that means. I want to look for a large gold cache that is 3 feet down I am wondering if the 15" will do the trick.

just got mine in. The prospecting mode is great with some tweaking it will go real deep like over 4 feet on a large cashe. pinpoints great. not that great with any other modes that your stock coil can do. the v rated 15x12 would be your best bet for all around treasure hunting in all modes will be much better than the stock.
