cibola 5.75

[frednga]

I got the 5.75 coil and used it this weekend on cibola,and discriminate works alot better with it,pinpointing much easier also.Doesn't seem to get near as deep as stock coil.Has anyone tried the 8" concentric coil on Cibola?If so how do you like it?I found it to be rather deep and easy to pinpoint on silver umax I had before.

I believe the 5.75 coil is more useful in target separation than depth. I've got that coil for the uMax DeLeon and don't get much over 5-6". I don't have the 8" concentric for the Cibola but just acquired the 12"X10" DD Widescan which I haven't yet had a chance to try out. I'm hoping it gives a bit better depth than the stock coil.

So far I love the 8" coil on the Silver Umax. I have heard several times that you should only lose an inch to inch and a half from stock w/ the 5.75 on the Cibola. Maybe you have to turn up the sensitivity a bit to compensate for the smaller coil.

Hey Frednga, do you have the 5.75 concentric or the new 5.75 widescan? I just rec'd the new widescan coil and it seems pretty good depthwise. I airtested some coins and it was getting a good 6" on most. It really does narrow down the location of the target!!!
