The XP DEUS II's 13x11 FMF coil offers increased depth on high-conductivity targets like silver coins and copper pennies, with depth varying based on soil mineralization, target size, and orientation. The 13x11 coil consistently outperforms the 9-inch and 11-inch round coils on high-conductivity targets in open ground, delivering strong performance in moderate to low-mineralization sites. In iron-choked sites where trash density limits depth, the 13x11 coil maintains separation on keeper targets masked by square nails and fence staples, making it the choice for old homesteads and fairgrounds where depth and coverage both matter. Detectorists hunting deep water sites often pair the 13x11 coil with the DEUS II's 66-foot waterproof rating for maximum coverage in surf and rivers.
