Title: Bigger coil Post by: Andre on February 13, 2017, 06:01:36 AM Hi all,on a local cash generator shop they have a coil mars tiger dd,compatible with my machine,£80.Does bigger coil means more depth?Is the price good?Thanks

The stock coil that came with the detector, a small coil that could get me into tight spots, and a large coil that appeared to give me slightly deeper finds and helped to discover small items in areas that I had swept before.
Not sure about the Mars coil but I have found that my Safari becomes hard work with the Nel Big Coil attached and I eventually had to incorporate the use of a bungee, or curtail the number of hours spent swinging the machine. Mind you; I was having to reduce the number of hours spent detecting due to the stress on my lower back and hips anyway. For my beach detecting, having disposed of my C-Scope CS4PI and put the EuroAce on the back burner, I dig fewer iron targets and the targets that I do dig are recovered using a long handled sand scoop. Have you checked Mars prices on the internet and on Ebay specifically.

Looks like some local guy is trying to pack in with the hobby.I will probably give it a go. Title: Re: Bigger coil Post by: Resurgam on February 14, 2017, 07:49:51 PM The Detech 13" ultimate is also a popular coil with many detectorists.

Regarding a larger coil,take a look at the Mars TIGER coil...Ifound that when I used one on the MACRO RACER...It was a vast improvement on the Mars stock coil,plus,you never need to worry about coil covers cracking,the coil doesn't need them...Well reccommended....Good Hunting...👍
