The seller says that he's picked up a cut half at 14 inches!  Also has a 15" Wot for sale aswell.

That is a big coil I bet the depth is really good on that.  Can cover more ground too.  And its only £3.20 at the moment! definately worth it

[Solas The Scot]

Thanks for the feedback guy's i am gonna go for it, been reading up on it and it sounds like what i want.

I think he's made a mistake. 14 mm more like!

Have you used one before? How good is it?  I was trying to do some research on this coil and would value peoples opinions

I agree with Bob 14"  is one hell of a depth for a cut half. I have an Etrac with a 15 x 12 SEF and would struggle at 4" to pick it up

Thought the etrac would do better than 4 inch on a cut half!  I supose it depends on the soil conditions wet, packed, loose etc I know that with a 15" wot using a sov on wet sand the depth is excellent.

The Etrac can do better with the SEF, the WOT coil or All Terrain 14 n 15" fail IMO, really not impressed with them, I am however well impressed with the SEF range and have the 15", 12" and 8"

I think alot has to do opperator and if he knows how to get the most from his set up. Have you spent much time using a wot coil Rob? Because i have read some good reviews on it. To many people run out and buy the most expensive setup's because of Joan Allens reviews, and don't want to admit that that another setup maybe better because of how much they have been ripped off for!

[Rob]

50 odd hammereds with the SEF range over the last couple of years, the WOT coil just isnt as stable and doesnt pin point or locate as good as the SEF coils, I dont go by Joan Allen reviews I go by my own experience and finds and if you have to choose between a wot and an SEF i would deffinatly suggest the SEF over the wot

Here is some of those I found using my SE and SEF Coils or ETrac and SEF Coil I am a no0b on here but a mod on the sister site Detecting Scotland

I spent years using the wot coil and changed to the SEF when they came out, I can honestly say that the SEF is more stable and so can be run at a higher sensitivity. The WOT is still a great coil if you can get a reasonably priced one. Remember that the laws of physics apply when using any VLF machine, which means that the larger the coil the greater the power (i.e. depth) but less sensitivity (target size) as a result.

[Solas The Scot]

Surely tho Rob if it's not stable maybe you had the sens to high, as for pin pointing that takes experience with some coils.  

[Rob]

Solas I don't pinpoint at all and I run as high as I can regarding sens, I know my machines inside out, I hit the target and I know where it is im digging i'm just saying the WOT's pinpointing is nowhere near as good as the SEF

Chef is right re depth v target size

[Solas The Scot]

I know experienced detectorists who still use older setups, but know how to get the best from them and would give any of the more expensive detectors a run for there money. Besides it don't matter if you run the highest sensitivity or have the largest most expensive coil you still need to walk over the target.
