It depends on the use and the soil.
Concentric loops like the [size=large]5.3[/size] have the following advantages:
Can get good targets under bad targets because of their cone shaped field
They are 10% quieter regarding magnetic interference from power lines
They have 10% better trash discrimination on iron - steel bottle caps and foil
They can shape the target without walking around it
They pin point accurately
Wide Scan Loops (DD) like the [size=large]6x10[/size] have the following advantages:
They have better side by side target separation.
They are more sensitive to smaller than coin size targets.
They are more sensitive off the tip area of the coil.
They smooth out the ground reactivity noise by 10%.
The [size=large]4x6[/size] is also a DD coil.
Aftermarket loops not specifically made for V3 will struggle a bit, especially at 22.5 kHz, both with gain setting and with VDI accuracy.

We are lucky to have Rob helping us out, there are few who knows the V better.
