5x10 DD or 5" DD

How do these coils perform on the gamma in high trash/iron areas.
I'm looking into buying one but I can't find any info on either being used on the gamma.

The 5 inch DD coil is a must have for the Gamma. It has fantastic separation and goes really deep.

All of the Fisher DD coils are very very good. , so it comes down to hunting style.
I hunt cellar holes and side walks were the open frame 11 can be a little to big .
I will give up a little separation and add depth and coverage with the 5 x 10 over the 5.
On the other hand , a hunting bud does great with the 5 in high trash.

When you say "give up a little seperation" with the 5x10, does it do better than the 8" concentric?
Does the 5" get good depth and which one handles EMI better, obviously the smaller coil would but I'm asking in genral versus the 8" concentric does the DD handle EMI better (able to run higher sense I just want to get a coil that will help in high trash but still practical to use in other areas.

I would go as far to say that the 11 x 7 DD separates better than the 8in concentric
and the smaller the coil the better the separation.
DD coils tend to not ID as well as concentric but at old iron sites I'm digging it anyways.
