Round coils work on beaches and provide even depth coverage across the detection face. For open beach detecting where covering large areas is the priority and target density is low, a larger round coil adds ground coverage per session. For the surf zone and areas with higher target density, an elliptical coil may provide better maneuverability and target separation. Most beach hunters use the stock elliptical coil effectively; a round coil upgrade makes more sense for open-field prospecting and large-area survey work than for typical beach detecting. See all search coils.
