Anyone tried the 15" coil on the F75 or T2 "What are the results?"

[Mendoman]

Has anyone found the New 15" coil from Fisher to be of any value when it comes to finding deeper coins?
Does it cover more ground per pass? and does the DST help in the trash areas with such a large coil.
All I have been able to find are people using it on the beach, is this all it's good for?

I would like to know more from either F75 or T2 users.
Thanks

Bill

I would bet not much improvement. Bigger coils work on bigger targets, not necessarily small targets deeper. I hit as deep with a 6.5" as I do the 11" on dimes and nickels. Quarters and halves I'd have to give the advantage to the 11" DD, hut probably no more than an inch. And most I find are 6' to 10" deep.

Thanks, Charlie P. & Undrpar sounds like it's a 50/50 decision. Anyone else have anything to say?
I think a penny size target at 11" to 12" is quite deep.

To be honest I have never found a Quarter deeper than 8" or a dime deeper than 6", but I know they exist.
A fellow Club member pulls deep silver to 10" with a 8" coil on his CZ-5 or 6, go figure

My 11" DD will not hit on a 10" dime and just Faintly on a quarter, ground bal. in mid. 50's, and I don't run my Sens. at 99 I usually hunt around 79-85. But in my coin garden I crank her up to 99 and get cleaner hits but with less stable numbers than I would normally dig.

Thanks for the help, I'll keep looking in to see if someone else has had as good of results as Undrpar has.

True story - deepest dime I ever dug was 10". A 1986 Roosevelt! Had been silted in beside a river. Talk about disappointed.

Where I normally hunt a 15" coil covers too must acreage and the iron and trash would be too much. I like the 6.5" x 4" Elliptical Concentric for blowing through the top trash into the older silver below. Takes longer but seperates out the tough ones; faster sweep the better.

Get one even if you do get the 15" ;-)
