I have a question from a family member that is thinking about getting a Minelab CTX 17" Smart Coil mainly for beach hunting. Does anyone have experience with this coil you can share?
I had one. It was too darn heavy. If you are young and your muscles have muscles then it sure can cover ground. Just too big for the water though. When I get hot I have to hit the water. At one time Minelab ran a promotion of a free 17 inch coil with detector purchase.
Canadianguy has one, i saw him use it once in the water and then went back to a smaller coil. If your beach is filled with !!!! it is better to use a smaller coil.
