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.

Be Careful of Compatibility Claims:
The descriptions here state that this coil is compatible with "All models of Bounty Hunter Detectors."

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.
Is it Worth it? 100xs Over!:
When i first used this it made a difference right away. How did i know? My Friend has the Same MD as i Do (Tracker IV) and we were metal detecting next to each other. I looked over some spots he already went over and Still Found stuff he missed! Also practiced with the MD with the New coil and it is now able to detect SMALL nuggets of Gold, the regular Stock Coil is not able to detect it. This Coil also helps with Pinpointing to where the Item is. I would suggest buying this coil. Im buying another one for... more info
