Been out for about 3 hrs this morning with my new coil. Wow. I am not impressed. Iron falsing with this coil is out of control. I've resorted to setting my machine sensitivity to way less than I ever have to with the stock 11" coil. From 21-24 with the stock coil to 16 or so.
Depth seems to be horrible, as well. I've dug a couple 6" dimes, but they sounded really weird. Like an iron nail falsing. You know, the high-to-low ascending or descending tone?
It also LOVES bottle caps. The only way I've been able to get this coil to run well is in two tone ferrous, but even then, my trust is lacking and signals seem to be all over the place stability-wise. Anyone else run the coiltek 5x10 on an etrac? I see NO advantage over the stock coil. In fact, this seems like a serious downgrade!
