Searchers working on rocky, uneven terrain, in thick underbrush, in salt water or high density trash areas generally prefer the quieter operation of the 8 inch coil and its ability to zero in on good targets closer to junk. Pinpointing is also easier with the 8 inch coil and it's easier to get into confined areas. The 10.5 inch coil will go slightly deeper-5% to 20% in air, less in soil depending on target size and ground mineralization. The most noticeable improvement will be on targets larger than coin-size in non-mineralized soil. Equally important, its wider scan will cover more area with each sweep. CONTROLS POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME.
