Looking for advice: Best sharpshooter coil for AT pro

[Georgivs]

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting myself a little graduation present in the form of a smaller coil for my trusty old pro. I do a lot of diving in the summer and would like a small coil to get down in crevices that I can also use in the trashy parks nearby. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

The 5X8.

I'd recommend the Garrett NEL Sniper Sharpshooter. I don't have a Garrrett, but I keep the NEL Sharpshooter on my Fisher F-75 95% of the time. Great coin shooting coil.

But if you really want a tiny coil, how about the 6.5" x 3.5" NEL Snake?

Nel Snake would be my first pick, The Nel Sharpshooper is a good coil also but I just love the little Snake.

Thanks for your advice guys! I think I'm going to go with the Nel Snake, it looks like it would be great for getting in the tight spots in river rocks where I've had a lot of luck in the past.

How about just sticking your pinpointer in those super tight spots?

Yeah that's what I've been doing and the ol carrots found a lot of gold silver and platinum, but I would like to get some discrimination so I don't end up spending 45 minutes digging out a hole for a handful of nails. Also there are a few real trashy spots where I've found good stuff, like an old smithy, where I think a smaller coil could really help.
