This size is the most commonly used coil for prospecting, mainly due to the new detectors being released with a coil of this size. Many prospectors enjoy using a coil of this size because it gives reasonable ground coverage, has good sensitivity, has average depth capabilities and is relatively light weight. You will find the coil easy to maneuver and it is quite easy to pinpoint with.

DD PRO operation hints & tips:

Mono coils, overall, have a stronger field strength than DD’s. Therefore it is said that they punch deeper and have better sensitivity on ground which has no mineralisation. So when using the Coiltek MONO coils you will immediately have an edge over the DD of similar size. By swinging slowly and overlapping at least half your coil this coil can be a very good locator of targets which are either small and shallow or larger and relatively deep. Using the edge to help pinpoint will ensure a quick target retrieval time as the outer perimeter is very sensitive. When in quiet ground it will give you smooth operation and a strong response to targets and will have minimal touch sensitivity. It can be used to help pinpoint if you have used a very large coil for a deep target.
