Greetings, been doing a lot of reading through this forum and finding a lot of useful and fun information shared by many.. But with so much info comes a few questions to clarify some items.
My Ace 250 came with two coils, a larger and medium sized coil (concentric). I have been using the larger one on the beach lately only because it was pre-installed. At first I had thought that bigger was better but after reading various articles on coils, I'm having a bit of difficulties deciding which one would serve me best for beach searches, the larger or smaller of the two coils?
Larger goes deeper but smaller one pin points better?
Conversely speaking, for this MD, if someone is going to be doing both beach and field detecting, would I be better off with a Nels DD type coil or the Garrett 4.5" sniper coil? I can't decipher the information well enough to decide which will serve me better than the other.. I'd splurge for one more coil this year just in case I plan to later on upgrade to a more advanced MD.
Thanks in advance for any info
Cheers
