Wanted to go "all in" and get the Big Daddy special with all four coils. Wireless headphones painlessly paired up. Pro-Find 40 works OK but I prefer and feel my Garrett Propointer AT has a slight edge as far as being user friendly is concerned. Spent a couple of hours with each coil coin shooting high trash/pull tab infested park in SW PA and am gravitating towards the 9" being my "go to".... though and happy to get pricing break to include the 8" for foundation searches when the brush dies away and having the 15" for less "infested" areas.
