New coil

I want to buy a smaller coil for my Equinox 800. Looking at the Coiltek 10x5 and the Minelab 6 inch coil. Which one would get for your self and why and have you used it????
 
I mostly use the 6 inch and like it. Haven’t tried the Coiltek but some people like it. There are times when the stock 11 inch is appropriate but I need a shoulder harness when I use it. I mainly use they 6 cause of the weight is easier in my shoulder and it gets good depth.
 
5x10 Coiltek. I have had the Minelab 6" coil way before the 5x10, and it stayed on my shaft way more that the 11" coil. The Coiltek has been my goto coil on my Equinox since the first day I got it. I still have the 6" mounted on my 600 though.

I like the 6” and use it mostly in the water because of less drag and on land in the woods it’s great and goes deep and n the tight areas it definitively has a place!

I really like the coiltek 10x5 on my etrac. I just placed an order for the 900 and I also ordered a coiltek 10x5 for it and I'm hoping for similar or better results since the 900 will be a speedier machine.
 
I did a little detecting today at a local park with my Nox 600 with the Coil Tek and something I've been playing with is setting the sensitivity between 6-10 to get those targets just below the grass surface and I have been hitting a lot of jewelry that way. I'm also using some earbuds so I can really hear the tones. So I get a target that's hitting 10 and 11 low tone and varying into a mid tone. And just under the grass I catch a glimpse of a gold bracelet. Well it's a rolex watch band marked 21k. Woo hoo. Made my day. Unfortunately couldn't find the watch, and my time was limited. Will have to go back

Right on, it's been my go to coil for a while now. Although I like using a larger size coil on the beach for covering more area, the 10x5 coil I can swing for hours due to the weight, and it has been performing very well. Good luck, and happy hunting.
 
I liked the 6" especially for water hunting less drag
