A 22x19 coil requires a slower, more deliberate swing than smaller coils to maintain consistent ground coverage and avoid missing targets at the edges of the detection field. Keep the coil level and parallel to the ground throughout the sweep, and overlap each pass adequately to ensure no gaps in coverage. The larger footprint means you cover more ground per swing, but swinging too fast can cause the coil to lift at the ends of the arc, reducing depth and target detection. Practice your swing in an open area before heading to the field, and adjust your pace until you can maintain a smooth, level sweep without excessive arm fatigue.
