Perfect Discrimination And Depth In Any Soil

I would like to see someone using that coil down in that red dirt in VA. That may make for a convincing test.

I can't speak on the Amphibio and can't compare it to the Kruzer as they have 2 very different coils. I know the narrow coil works very well here against iron contamination where my wider coils on my other machines struggle. The Kruzer seems to have quite a bit of punch and believe Makro really boosts the tx on it in their 2 tone, 4 tone and especially deep mode and is on the cusp of being unstable much like the AT Max but easier to tame as you have more options to work with other than sensitivity. I still can't see having just one coil for any of my machines, for me it really depends where I want to hunt. Wider coils in the woods I often hit would be very awkward to navigate around the undergrowth and blow downs.

In woods it's not that comfort but more usable that big wheel, smaller size with same form under development.

I have used the dual 9'' coil on my Nexus SE for about 4 years,no question about it in that configuration it is deep so well suited for use on clean pasture sites.Discrimination is reasonable but i would not say it was phenomenal.Would i use such a coil design on trashy sites my reply would be categorically 'no' that is still the domain of smaller coils.

When i am say a semi trashy site and i also want depth then i use my Nexus MP i do have a selection of large coils and also a Concentric coil for this detector and once again it is deep infact it probably the deepest machine i have that has discrimination,would i choose a large DD coil when using this detector on trashy sites ?? my reply would be 'no' surprisingly enough the 2 coil options that i would use would be 1st the 8x6 (7'') DD coil as that is outstandingly deep for its size,but also still offers amazing discrimination at the same time.The other coil that i would use on trashy sites especially if i was after say silver and hammered gold coins and that would be the 24khz 11.5'' Concentric coil.

I hold judgement on that statement infact i would take it with just a pinch of salt.'Perfect Discrimination And Depth In Any Soil'

If I compare my 9 "dual coil 14khz for Aka Signum with the classic 13" DD coil .. so the 13 "DD on the 12kHz coil is generally deeper on all targets .. in slightly mineralized terrain ..

Practical field detection on mix mode is a no problem ...OK
One of the intriguing features of this dual coil is that I can run it on AKA Signum as well as the maximum Gain10 .. -with no false response from the ground ... or EMI ..

There is something you miss using that coil (like others who use it on Nexus). Disc should be at 1 than you easily distinguish iron from colour metals in any soil, GB it not like in instruction let it be minimal as it can be whithout false signals and your deepnes will be even better. I use it on very trashy areas and it hits and separates targets just like sniper coil (working zone is not so big). DD coil separates better than concentric (worst discrim in hard soil). With coils you chose in areas with briks and ceramics you'll miss low conducted targets for sure. Test it better.

Yes,thanks for your input,i am aware on how to set the detectors up,its not a everyday use detector as they had been bought for 'specific' site use,and have been successful in the time that i have owned them........most of my detectors that i own and trust me i do own a hell of alot of them and even a bigger selection of coils which at last count was just over 50.

I will carry on using what i consider the best detector/coil combination for that specific site and targets that i am detecting on that day,this could be VLF/Pulse machines with the relevant coil/s and always carry a twin box with me as well.

What ever style of detecting or targets you are after i wish you well.
