I've been wanting to tryout the F44 stock 11 inch teardrop search coil on my Omega 8000 version 6 to see if I could gain any depth using the larger concentric search coil. I've been using the 10 inch elliptical concentric search coil on the Omega with good success. Bottom line, the 11 inch teardrop search coil is around 1 1/2+ inches deeper and handles EMI about the same.
The lone silver coin, a 1927 Mercury dime wasn't all that deep, but I did dig some wheat pennies that were in the 7+ inch range. Not bad for a pounded site. My only real deep target was around 10 inches deep, a brass compact. I was determined not to give up on finding out what was giving that good ID number and high audio tone. You just never know until you dig. It could have been some civil war relic worth some big bucks. I did find a Civil War buckle plate not too far from where I was detecting today.
Anyway, I don't normally do a lot of detecting in the summer months, so every silver coin that I find during these hot humid months is icing on the cake.
