Just ordered a 9.5" coil for my Prizm IV...(came with the standard 8")..what should I expect from the larger coil? Deeper? More accurate signals? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
 
If they're the same type of coil (concentric), a 9.5" compared to 8" shouldn't be much different. You might get a little more depth, but not much. You'll be able to cover a little more area, not much, but a little.
 
Thanks for the reply...not sure if they are the same type..I ordered a
9.5 Inch Prizm Search Coil (8.3 kHz).. has the open center....the 8" does not...not sure if that matters or not....will test it out once the SD ground thaws...

Thanks again...
 
Bop, I did the same thing when I had my Prizm IV. Like OD said a little more depth and more coverage. I liked the open center, it made for easier pinpointing. Good luck with it.
 
Terry 55 is absolutely right. The hole in the center makes it easier to pinpoint and that's one really nice feature about your new coil.
