Hi everyone
So on my last post I asked opinions on the big 18" mythtek coil with replies,I'm not a pro on this subject and I am only giving my own opinion from my few hours of use

So Thursday ut had arrived and managed 4 hours Saturday and 3 today at first glance it's huge and I was thinking it going to super heavy however that's notvthe case for it's size it reasonable weight I managed at least two hours then decided to use the harness and that was a better way to swing away nicely balanced and no issues to suggest it's top heavy or un balanced

So my program was life can be simple so basic stuff when I got to my first filled I realised it had been ploughed up lightly so thoughts was mixed in my first signal was high numbers with some stretched lin slightly above the middle line was a nice pipe tamper further on the signals was nice and calm and then came a nice clean low tone nice little dot and around 3 inches was little roman coin very worn but still a coin and very small so few more of those did come 3 or 4 but what amazed about the big coils was how good it was on small stuff so the smallest find that eve was an air rifle pellet so small stuff no issues,
Also pin pointing absolutely no issues again for me I'm not really a hit pin point mode I've always used the front of the coil and wiggle back until signals disappear and reappear and now and then turning 45 degrees to check but was easy to get grips with
So on a ploughed up fild the coil was OK nothing of depth that m9 or standard coil would not hit but over all first impressions was OK second dig was was a very well hunted pasture that's had few roman and some hammerd this time I went starte toothed harness and had a a better look on with settings still life can be simple program but switching from higher sensitivity and lower frequency and higher conducter etc all programs ran sweet no emi issues with sensitivity as high 29 and still OK still never hit anything deep however managed a nice silver 1912 crotal bell two small roman and a nice possible silver button with another 2 air pellets
Over all I think the coil is good still need moor time to see it's true depth and how much moor in deliver that the other can't one good point is definitely you can cover some ground and it makes you hunt slow so my usual pace was reduced and it gave me moor of a better look on what I can and can't do and what the coil can handle and not
Again I've used it twice I'm not a professional in reviewing equipment but I'll be using this coil alot for now and hopefully find some deep coins relics ETC and give a better insight to the coil many thanks for reading

Thank you, very interesting!
I'm tempted to buy.
Were you able to hold the digging tool at your side without it being constantly detected, or did you hold it behind your back?

I've always had mine on shoulder and got no interference maybe now and then had to move machine over while I was using pin pointer
