I'm probably over thinking this...

So I am hunting an old ghost town this weekend, and I have been completely excited about it. This area is very old, and the potential for some great finds is high, but now I thinK I am over thinking this!!! I go back and forth on which coil to use... stock, sniper, stock sniper...sniper, stock, sniper... stock...lol

Right now I have the 8 in coil mounted and the 4 in in the backpack...but I want to get the most out of this hunt so I go back and forth about which one I should use............:BangHead::violent1::argue::sad1:

I imagine this is what a fighter goes through before a big fight. I know that I am prepared, and can switch styles at any time, yet I play the scenarios over and over in my head. I just want to get out there and get after it... see how it goes, put my training to the test, flow with the wind and just get after it

My dad use to say, while playing poker, "you think long, you think wrong." Just pick something and do it!
 

Your going to have a nervous breakdown before you get there. Lol
 

Use the 8 inch until you think you really need the smaller coil. It's not rocket-psychiatry.
 

HAHAHA, I know, Right? Thanks for the replies!!! Can>Not>Wait>To>Get>Out>There!!!
 

I agree with Jason - use the 8" to start. You'll learn quickly if there's too much trash and a change to the smaller coil is in order.

Right on! Appreciate the input!
 

I say use the one you are most confident using. No need to worrying if you are missing good stuff because your not sure about the coil.

After giving that one a try, you can always change them out if you feel the need.

Good call, that's why I have it set up as it is now. I spose I can always change if I felt the need. Just very excited about this hunt and want to make the best of it! I'll probably use the larger coil until I get into an area with a bunch of good targets and then maybe switch. I guess I just need to get there and see how the conditions are and then adjust if need be!8-)

Just use the bigger coil until you survey the area. If there's a lot of junk targets that may mask good ones through on the sniper! Good luck!
 

Old Ghost town sounds like a lot of fun. That would definitely be a great adventure. I agree starting with the 8 in. coil. Good luck.
