Question on 21x17 sef for mxt pro?

[Treasureman25]

Hi im new to detecting. Well the new detectors that is. I've used an old coinmaster 6000 before but now want to upgrade. I am going to place an order for the mxt pro soon. I've decided I want to get the 9.5 coil for the trashy areas. Now here's my question. I plan on hunting some caches, hoards, ect. I want to read as deep as possible into the ground. I'm seeing that I can get a 21x17sef coil compatable with the mxt pro. I've been unable to find anyone or really any good info on this coil setup with the mxt pro. What can you tell me about it? Also while using a coil like this will I still be able to see coins say in the first 5 or 8 inches of soil?

P.s. I'm from Wi where we obviously get a lot of frost in the winter. Some are trying to tell me any jars of coins or bigger items will be pushed up closer to the surface over time. Have you ever heard this?

Here's an opinion based on 40+ years of experience. That coil is a back breaker special. Your detector will be so far off balance that it will be agony to hunt.
If you are serious about looking for deep caches, up to 6', get a used 2 Box detector for about $250. and learn to use it properly. Hay it won't pick up the trash.
Your PS: Items in the ground do not rise when it freezes. Think about it! If they did you could just go around and pick them up. All those head stones in the cometary would have fallen over. I don't know how these stories get started. Probably by someone with no technical gray matter. Frank...
