Thumbs up Re: Bigfoot coil

Your answer is YES!!!

Here is a link to Jimmy's website explaining how it works with the MXT.

The Bigfoot coil is a completely new concept in coil design

Great Coil - It's on my must get list.

Default Bigfoot Coil on the MXT is simply AMAZING!!!

I just got the bigfoot coil and put it on my mxt and I cannot believe how well it works.

I pulled out several coins and cannot say that this coil is in any way lesser in depth than any of the other big coils. I did air tests with the 10 x 14 excellerator, the 12.5 hotshot coil by Jimmy Sierra and the 3.5 x 18 bigfoot coil. I put the power setting on the 9.5 recommended setting and I could easily read any small coin at 8 or 9 inches and larger coins quarters, halves, and dollars at 10 plus inches. If you run less than the recommended setting you'll probably get around 8 inches with this coil.

When I cranked the sensitivity up I got an additional couple of inches. I could read every coin with ID at around 10 inches and all larger coins at over a foot and the dollar at 13 to 14 inches. The deep coins don't always have the solid beeps, but the more suble buzzs and whispers when the coin passed through the coil's field. I was amazed at how effectively this coil and MXT id the coin.

I tried gold rings and they read effectively at at 10-11 inches.

The one difference is that the bigfoot coil would register a quarter at VDI of 86 instead of 83, however it still read quarter. I recommend watching the suggested readouts on the very deep whispers. Every coin registered as something to make me dig. The very deep dollar at 11 to 12 inches sometimes read as a dime then would go to the dollar. I would definitely have dug this reading.

When using the pinpoint depth on the mxt I got some wierd results.
The one wierd thing that seemed to happen was that the pinpointing depth on the screen went a bit wacky and jumped around. The actual pinpointing on the coil was very easy.

I can really cover the ground with this coil.

I found this coil performed as well as any of the other two coils but covered the ground much faster. The excellerator coil wanted to overload much quicker than the other two coils. I want to see if I can do this much more scientifically on a video for all to see. I'm looking forward to doing some more testing with each of these.

I've also gotten the 4 x 6 whites and the 5" excellerator coil to do side by side testing. I'll try to post what I find.

This mxt and bigfoot is simply Awesome!!!!
