The 8 inch Explorer coil is great for detecting areas of high rubbish content.

If two or more targets are located under a coil at once, the discrimination can sometimes be effected.

By using a smaller, more precise coil like the 8" coil, you are able to pick up individual targets and accurate identification of each one separately.

The 8 inch coil is very lightweight and ideal for searching around hard-to-get-at locations.
