    I put a 6" on my Equinox 600 and I love it, so much better than the 11". I know I'm pulling targets that I wouldn't have easily found or ever found with the 11". The 6" does great at the beach as well, plus the weight of it makes it nicer to swing and cut through shallow water.

    My thoughts are this
    #1 you don't swing your coil as fast as your moving your hand
    #2 the big coils center was 6 inches above the box so you were really testing the outer perimeter of the coil...

    But it shows Just how deep , in percentages / reference , the coils go.
    Just the haters ,have remember it goes deeper in soil .

    I think the 15 would of done better as the coil was on the low side ?? Hottest part in the centre . Bad to see but the coin seemed close to the ruler which would be ok for the 6 but not the 15 . They are all good coils .Last week my son popped a gold ring with 2 emeralds at 8 inch on land previously detected . With the 15 . Good comparison test show's the 6 is no sloutch .

  • @James-lj7rm
    @James-lj7rm 5 лет назад +1

    The coils were not all in the same direction. You were running vertical with the 6 and 15 in. and horizontal with the 11in. Also, your swing would not be so fast in the field. Another question, have you tried detecting in the pinpoint mode for depth?

  • @srf2112
    @srf2112 4 года назад +2

    You mentioned that the machine was factory reset but I didn't catch which mode you were in? Since you didn't say you also adjusted sensitivity down, which I would have suspected would need to be done testing inside your house, I'm curious what the sensitivity level was set at? I have the owners manual downloaded and I wanted to check the factory presets chart. Very informative and impressive test. Yes it's not analogous to real world conditions but it gives solid relative results between the different coils. I'm planning on getting an EQ 800 as well as a 6" coil but not the 15". This video confirmed that plan in my mind. Thanks

    • @Stealth12354

    did you ever remake this video with the coils aiming up instead of sideways? when you metal detect you swing side to side, this test would be like swinging forward and back on a target. That's not how you metal detect, and not how the coils are supposed to be used.

      Anthem 2112 he tested the coil way out of it’s hot zone. He should have raised the coin to the centre of the coil and the results would have been much better. This is a double D coil so it has a very narrow range.

    You should have tested the large coil from the centre range rather than the edge of the coil and have the range vertical rather than horizontal. Double D coils are narrow banded and signals are weaker at the left and right sides of the coil. Otherwise thank you great video mate.
