You will experience a reduction in absolute depth compared to the standard 11" coil, which is typical for any small search coil. However, in trash-heavy environments, your practical depth increases because the smaller footprint prevents valid targets from being masked by adjacent iron trash. The 5" coil excels where precision matters more than maximum depth, particularly in iron-infested areas and spaces where larger coils are impractical.
