    Hey all
    Got a coil question for you guys.
    I've always done well in hard hit areas with a 8 inch coil.
    I generally use a 14 inch coiltek elite and switch to a 8 inch mono commander from mine lab.It really rocks in tight places and on small gold the bigger coils miss.When out last week I switched over to the 8 inch in an area that was really tight with rocks and brush and it freaked out on me. I put it off as interference or something inside the coil cover ( which has tape on the seam).
    I took it apart made sure it was clean and retaped it , then tried it in another area.Still freaking out!! So now I guess I'll buy another.was wondering if any of you guys have tried the 9 inch mono elite coil from coiltek, should I get another 8 inch mono from mine lab or is the nine inch mono elite from coiltek better?
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Heya Leo
    I do leave my phone on some times if work requires it and have never had an issue, but on this day I had it turned off.
    But I thank you for the info and will remember that in the future.

    With a PI detector, a cell phone will drive it nuts....and any other close by EMI in the vicinity, being around power lines, aircraft flying over because of Radar/Comm freq's, ect.
    Also with VLF too
