Great service as usual from Nigel and team at Regtons - new 5x8 coil delivered next day, along with a coil cover. Tried it out first on a very well tested site - our garden lawn! Had found a lot of items there before, amongst the usual abundant scrap metal. The 5x8 coil was amazing and felt like I had never detected there before - great separation of nice items right next to ferrous including a lovely small medieval lead token sitting right next to 3 iron nails. Recovery speed is also very impressive. Then tried the coil out ‘bravely’ at a rally last weekend, where everyone else had gone for the usual massive coils - the 5x8 did me proud and found some really nice finds including a lovely Napoleonic 2nd Dragoon’s button ID’d from just around the Battle of Waterloo, my first and very tiny silver thimble a very small medieval lead token as well as a lot of other nice items. All of these were pretty deep and very close to a lot of ferrous items which the 5x8 had no problem separating and also made pinpointing really easy. Don’t think I lost any real depth using the smaller coil, particularly since I was able to detect very close to the ground at all times, even in some thick stubble areas and within the tractor tracks . Thank you again for this great coil and will now be using this as my ‘standard’ coil for all detecting!
