sod Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Been thinking about picking up a 7" or 9.5" coil for the MXS. I've seen one review on YT on the 9.5 but nothing on the 7" They said the 9.5 looses very little depth over the stock 10" and pin points better. How much depth loss would the 7" have over the 10" and how well does the pin pointing work with the 7"? I've been detecting the fresh water lakes with a lot of trash and cant seem to hone in on my pin pointing. Thanks in advance. Sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hey Sod I have the 7 inch Detect coil and others too for my MX Sport. I'm more than happy with the 7 inch and keep it on MX most of my hunting. I'd say you can't go wrong buying it. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The White's MX Sport comes with an epoxy filled DD coil that does not float when submerged. The main issue with the 950 (9.5") round concentric is that it is foam filled and so buoyant in the water. It will however pinpoint easier and help with difficult ferrous targets like bottle caps. Depth can be as good as the stock coil in milder ground but as the ground mineralization gets worse the stock DD coil with have an advantage. The 7" DD is made by DeTech and is epoxy filled so no issues with being submerged. It will pinpoint easier just due to being smaller and of course will not cover as much ground. Depth will be lost compared to the stock coil in mild ground. However, in really bad soil the depth can be surprising because the smaller coil "sees" less ground volume and so can still come very close to the stock coil for performance in the worst ground.

sod Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I didn't know about the 9.5 being filled with foam. I think the 7" will be the way to go. Thanks Chuck & Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't happen to have run a 6" x 10" and if so what are your thoughts? Thanks Chuck. Sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onearmwilly Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I have the 6x10 for sport. It's going to float like the 950. I use it in woods & brush. It's my 2nd most used coil for sport. The 7" detech is hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be playing in the water first thing in the morning. If I wasn't so whipped, Id head back out. The 6X10 looks like a nice coil to Willy. I would be using it in water and I already have to tie four lbs of weight to my feet to keep my butt from floating. Thanks. Sod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sod Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 The 7" coil floats too. GL&HH Sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Enough that you are unhappy you got it? If so, I apologize for the recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's epoxy-filled so it should sink. Feels a lot less resistant to water too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
