your stock 10" will be your best results for most situations.depending on which situation your in.(trash)stock coil or smaller..heavy (iron)5" DD...clean ground..11" DD....dont get hyped up on the 11"....its only good in cleaner area..but who hunts in a clean area..the more noise the happier i am..good luck..

I'll go with Foxhunter's opinion. I own all three coils 5"-11"-10" and feel the 5" is truly a coin sniffing little monster. Goes pretty deep too. Actually the depth is amazing considering its a 5" coil. In moderate to heavy trash, the other two coils can't touch it. But do be aware, that DD coils do read bottlecaps as coins. But there are techniques to overcome those false coin positives. Just do a search here....using......bottlecap.....as the search term.

I'm probably one of the few folks that are more concerned about target seperation and ground coverage than I am about depth. Because of that I like the new 5x10 DD coil. I get the target seperation of the 5" coil in a 10" footprint along with better ground mineral handling of the DD design. Right now I use the 5x10 as primary and if I need to get close to iron or steel, then I switch back to the stock coil. (the 5x10 isn't the coil for use next to above surface metal)
