Anyone use a Clean Sweep Coil on the Sand Shark?

[firstbiggestmost]

I was shopping around for a 10 1/2" coil for my SS and came across a great deal on a C.S.C. The Tesoro site says it performs in the 4-7 inch coil range. I'm wondering what real world depth I can expect on the salt beaches and if the double-d operates more smoothly than the stock coil. I'm also curious about small gold sensitivity vs. the stock coil.

Thanks and HH.

This isn't going to help much as I never used the CSC on the Sand Shark, only on the Tiger Shark and got that depth on coins. I have found a couple earring studs with it too. The 3"X18" coil is hot down the center so you don't have to X the target. Just pull it back while doing the Wiggle back an forth. Sliding the coil forward slowly gets a signal response when the target is off the front tip. Works on the back Heel of the coil but is more difficult. But this is on a VLF Tiger Shark and not the SS.

Thanks for the reply Sandman
If this coil on the PI can still hit rings at 8"-12" I will be very happy.

It has been my experience with the CleanSweep coil that it greatly reduces dept.
If the standard coil will hit a dime 7" down in the sand ... dont expect more than 4" with the CleanSweep coil.
Like many things in life there is a trade off or compromise in performance.

IMHO you would be better off with a larger concentric coil. (12")

Willee, thanks for the feedback.
I was actually calling around trying to find a 10 1/2 coil and came across the deal on the CSC. Due to the shortage of new water proof coils right now and the reasonable price I had to buy it. Unfortunately the coil didn’t work and is on its way to Prescott, AZ to see if it can be fixed or if the connector can be used on another coil . I'm hoping to hear some news one way or another in a few days. When I get a CSC that works on my PI, I'll let you guys know how it performs on the beach. Right now I have my fingers crossed hoping the boy's at Tesoro can get me fixed up.
