What’s the best size coil for shingle beaches ? My local areas are mainly small shingle with a bit of sand down by the water at low tide.

Is it a dumb question only I’m a novice, I know a larger diameter coil goes deeper (maybe) but does it apply the same on small shingle stones ?

not sure what you mean by shingle beaches and I am no beach hunter but in my opinion if I were hunting a beach I would use the largest coil I could possibly swing which is about an 11 inch coil is all I can muster these days I tend to use a 9 or 10 inch by 5 inch coil any more most of the time
One more thing I was taught a long time ago

I would ask Doug on here, he’s on your side of the pond.

Wasn’t sure what a shingle beach was, but when I’m at the beach, wet sand hunting, I use the 15” on the Nox. In the water at lakes near me, the 11”.
Also posting your question in the beach hunting sub forum will get more replies, I imagine.
