The SX35 struggles in high-density trash sites where multiple objects are closely spaced. The 13.5 x 12.5 inch footprint sees multiple objects simultaneously, and the Simplex firmware cannot isolate individual signals when iron nails, pull tabs, and foil overlap within the coil's detection field. You'll hear blended tones and erratic target IDs rather than clean coin signals. In those environments, smaller coils deliver better target separation and reduce dig frustration. Check the search coils catalog for compact options.
