Yeah but infest the ground with iron and pulltabs and try to find a quarter.I ran 3 coils over the same area with the same machine from largest to smallest.The bigger coils confused the machine.The smaller coil you could watch the numbers and pick out a quarter signal.The larger coils never saw a quarter at all.
If youbase it on trash areas then the smaller coils pick amongst the trash, infact if its only against trash for the at pro as the coils suggest then the supersniper 4" is going to be best although your looking at 4" max depth but for most clad thats about their depth anyway.
if covering fields like sports fields i tollerate the extra weight of the 8.5X11 then spend twice as long looking with the smaller lighter coil, i may have to switch arms a few times but as my left is getting pretty good as an even sweep its no trouble, a four hour hunt with the large coil beats a 5% increase in finds with the smaller coil but taking 8 or 9 hours.
With the size of my sweep and the maximum stem length i can cover over maybe 9 or 10 feet so its not a major timeage anyways...
I'd buy a 14" double 'd' coil if they made one for the at pro that didnt weigh as much as a cinder block on the end of a broom
