The 9.5-inch elliptical HF coil slips easily between rocks, brush, and fence posts where standard circular coils hang up. Its narrow 5-inch width provides the tight maneuverability of a small sniper coil, while its 9.5-inch length maintains rapid ground coverage speed. The trade-off is a slightly wider pinpoint footprint than a round coil in wide-open fields. Detectorists tackling variable terrain often browse our specialized XP ORX metal detector collection to compare elliptical versus round configuration options for their local sites.
