Need more coverage. 11" or 13"X11" coil?

[Indiana Mark]

i am considering looking into a larger coil to hunt large, open areas.
Anyone have experience with the 11" and/or the 13"X11" coils? Looking for info like weight, depth, battery life on a full charge, pros-cons, etc.
Need to cover ground quicker than with the 9" coil.

Thanks in advance!

I prefer the 11 to the 13 x 11 I had because of the weight. I didnt swing the 13 but a few minutes and sold it .MAYBE I should have gave it more of a chance.

I really like the 11" XP coil unless your just going for maximum sweep coverage. I dont think the 13" provides much more depth than the 11.

Watched some of gardynsolyn (sp?) On YouTube on his 13 coil hunts. Would love the chance to buy a 13" coil at a decent price to add to my arsenal! I do like the 11-inch coil though but I feel that in fields I could be doing better with a larger sweep area and covering more ground more efficiently. Either way you'll notice a nice increase over that 9er ya got

11" is the way to go... small enough for everyday use, and not too heavy.

You will notice the difference in weight over the 9" though.

IMHO.
