I had about a five hour hunt with the new coil on Monday. Here is a link to the post on the hunt finds and video.

I first tried the coil in my coin garden and the results for depth were not as good as I was expecting. It was slightly better than the stock coil. I was able to run it a little hotter than the stock coil so I'm guessing that is why it seemed to hit better on the deep targets.
My first Impression in the field is that it is very stable at higher Manual sensitivity levels. I was able to up the level by 2-3 and keep it just as stable as the stock coil. As far as weight and balance it doesn't feel any different than the stock coil. I can not comment on the depth in the field because I did not find anything deeper than 8 inches. The second half of my hunt was in an area that is very trashy with the normal picnic ground trash. I did manage to find 6 wheats and a silver dime in the trash. I was very impressed with the separation abilities of such a large coil. I did have a hard time in pinpoint mode while in the trash, so I used the wiggle method to pinpoint and it worked great. When I was able to use the pinpoint mode it pinpointed just as good as the stock coil.
Over all I would give the coil a A+. If your loooking for more coverage per swing with slightly more depthand stability this would be the coil.
