Can a small coil of 4″ show a decent result in depth? And why is such a coil needed at all?
Natural question.
Moreover, if you also take into account that this coil is mono, and not DD, as it is now popular to equip your metal detectors with these coils. However, mono is also capable of something and the results are very good! To pick at my grandmother’s garden in the village — this is one of the best options, in my opinion.
The depth is not important there, but the small size can bring up many interesting finds among various metal debris in the ground.
You also deliberately avoid trash cans because too many signals fall under the coil? Your head gets tired of the cacaphony of the metal detector? In vain. It is in such places that the probability of picking up coins and interesting finds is very high.
Also, the coil is perfect for digging in old houses, attic searching and searching in old houses, when the floors are opened and you can see what is under the floors in a pile of construction waste.
And the main bonus — It’s also budget friendly!
