I had just switched back to my 11dd coil and moved to a new park I haven't hunted yet. The 6.5 is a good coil and yes it read just like the 10 inch, gets about 5-6 depth and has a real tight hot spot, very easy to pin point, target separation is good also because you don't have your coil over 2-3 things at one time. I have a real lucky situation, I recently got remarried, to the most wonderful woman in the world, and when we got hitched I moved into her house and got rid of my lake house. We live just down the street from the areas oldest college, founded in 1842, which is old for the north texas, oklahoma area which we live in, so long story short I have 4 old city parks within a mile from the house, and as far as I can tell I am the only one hunting them, so I have covered half the basketball court with my 6.5 coil and needed a change of pace so I been people watching in the other park and had located some hotspots, I have become a park stalker, lol, when the kids are restless I load them up and take them to the park and see where the people are gathered, saw a sign in my yard and it was a "praise in the park" and I thought thank you Jesus for all the goodies they will leave me. I just had to go and see where they were all gathered. I have been able to run a higher sens setting with the 6.5 before the falsing starts, you really have to be in the mood for that coil, you are going to be stuck in an area not moving over much ground, but I will say that you can hunt areas that are considered unhuntable because of trash or heavy target saturation.
