Real-World Performance
The 8x5 elliptical shape gives you better maneuverability around obstacles while maintaining solid depth on targets. DD coils like this one provide excellent ground balance in mineralized soil - something you'll appreciate if you hunt old homesteads or areas with high iron content. The waterproof rating means you can work shallow water or hunt right after rain without damaging the electronics.
This coil works particularly well for relic hunting and coin shooting where you need to thread between trash targets. The included skid plate isn't just protection - it also helps the coil glide smoothly over rough ground without snagging.
