While a standard coil is great for finding large objects that are deeply buried, the 4-inch coil has a narrower field of detection ¿ enabling your detector to separate objects more efficiently. The 4-inch coil's shallower detection area makes it ideal for prospecting in difficult, high metal areas since it allows you to more easily discriminate valuable objects from refuse. In addition to allowing the precise pinpointing of objects, a smaller coil lets you probe tight spots such as corners and crevices.

Waiting to make the big strike/haul. Nothing yet but we keep trying. Maybe we arent' searching in all the right places.
Be Careful of Compatibility Claims:

It made pinpointing easier and found other stuff too.
Good iron discrimination:
The 4" coil seems to do much better at seeing the difference between iron and other metals. It is also great for getting in the small potholes where gold will settle.
