Has anyone used the 15" Blue Max for the XLT? If so, what kind of results did you get? How would you grade it?

I already have the 5.3 which is great, and the stock 9.5. I am trying to decide if I should get one just to have more "rounded" capabilities/maximize detector. Just don't know if they make that much of a difference or are worth the $... Any thoughts?

Thanks! Very Happy

I bet Frank B would know. He has a huge 18" life saver he uses with his XLT.
I have the 5.3 and love it for jewelry and change in Tot Lots.

Thanks for the advice, guys... I didn't even know they had an 18' coil!!
I'll remember the Hot Shot. Sounds like a winner. 12" sounds right to me. I was just worried that I would be losing too much sensitivity with a 15". Doesn't sound to bad for relic hunting in the mixed mode however.

Heading to Jimmy's site to look...

Thanks again for your help.

YES I have a 15 inch blue max It is very light for it's size. It is good for a large area that does not have alot of junk in it. The last time I used it I was working a promising field and in the middle of it I dug a Broad axe at 24 inches. It is a little hard to pin point small targets. If its a good signal mark it and go back. You do get a lot of coverage with it. Frank
