XP DEUS II Coils, Compared
Four coils, four very different jobs. The compact 9" round FMF excels in high-trash sites, the 11" round FMF is the do-it-all workhorse, the 13x11" elliptical FMF maximizes depth and ground coverage, and the HF2 high-frequency elliptical is built for gold and ultra-small targets. Here's how they stack up, and a quick quiz to point you to the right one.
