You made me re-read my post above. There's no way I wanted the round 8" coil for the Simplex +. I tried both of the accessory coils since my friend bought both and opened them here at my place for us to check out. Both were heavier than i thought they should be, especially the round 8" DD. In addition, the rod-mount 'ears' are too far to the rear from the center-axis of the coil and that gives it a heavier feel and makes in nose-heavy and imbalanced. I kept the 5X9½ DD which makes a very good 'general-use' coil to complement the round 11" DD.How about a 6” DD and call it good? Maybe it’s like the T2 and just can’t use concentric coils. The machine has incredible separation by nature, a 6” DD will feel like good coverage and will surely dominate your NBPT, Monte. I’m surprised 8” round was the size of choice for their round coil. With an 11 and a 9.5 x 5 your really don’t need an 8” round. Even though I had high hopes for it.
Indeed, and with the product review I am working on right now, using a good assortment of makes and models, it helps confirm to be the value of smaller-size search coil;s. I've relied on them most of the time since '68 right to the present, mostly because I hunt very littered sites, or some with dense brush to maneuver through and around. Because I am taking a very practical approach to doing these side-by-side comparisons they are not simply a 'depth test' but are taking on everyday types of sites and encounters.I sure want a coil that’s 7 inches round or smaller, that would really open up a lot of new hunting spots for me since i’m not really in the position to buy an anfibio
