I know a guy that has 3 sef coils one is huge, he claims the the D2 gets as much depth but uses them to cover more ground in open area's. I bought the 13" ultimate DD coil for my MXT looking for more depth, while I didn't get amymore depth its as deep and went over an area I pounded with the D2 coil and found about 3 more deep silvers on edge that it gave a better signal that made me dig. The D2 picked them up but since they were on edge and 10" to 12" deep the target didn't sound good enough to make me dig and those can be passed as a trash target. HH
