I got a used 5 x 8 coil from DirtyRob for the AT Pro and also some new rubber buttons for my Garrett (Black) pro pointer from Garrett. So I got a chance this afternoon to get out and try out the 5 x 8 coil. It had a lot of chatter even with ground balancing but found an area where I was hunting that it finally got quiet. I was amazed at how simple it was to use and lightweight! I don't think I'll go back to the stock coil! Love this one!
When it chimed in on a target it said however deep and I called what it was and was right most of the time. I had it set on PRO/COINS. And every time it was right on the depth.
Basically, I cherry-picked today to learn the coil and the sounds. And I only found one pull tab today. The nickels locked in on 53 and never budged. Quarters came in at 83-85, dimes 79-81, pennies 75-82 (depending on whether it was zinc or copper).
Here's the one and only picture I took of the coins -- did not clean them.
Thanks for looking. GL and HH!
