I too would opt for the elliptical coil purely on the practicality of the design (I'm not a Deus user) It's just my preference. Regards ss47
A disservice is no service at all.
I‘ve just bought an elliptical. I like the shape better although I was swayed by the larger surface area of the 9”. I just don’t like the ergonomics of swinging a round coil
And I need a coil to get between rows of maize stubble so it gives me a slightly wider swing pattern if I walk along them.
I know the elliptical goes to a higher frequency which would be useful somewhere, although I doubt I’ll ever use it
But you never know B-)

Thanks all. My mate has a round hf coil and runs it on 28 kh I believe. He done what he had gridded and believed woz worked out by himself and two others with 30 ?? S. 4 acres I believe, ran the dues over it and got 1 Roman. 2 cut halfs and a full hammie pennie. He woz surprised. Right in my head you cannot never do it 100% .But it surprised him. He reckons they are not a deep as the standard coil ??? But he thinks he wasn't missing much down to 6" and woz getting airgun pellets. That he and they had missed with 3 different brands of top detectors. So woz it luck or what. I'm edging towards the elliptical coil. See what Santa says. Thanks again
