I usually use my 6 X 8 SEF and it does fine as long as you go real slow. I also have a 6" DD but hardly ever use it. Good luck

8x6 SEF is a trash killer. I love it in trashy places. Great coil.

I use the 6x8 SEF also but I have a 4.5x7 EXcelerator coil that I like to use in close to big metal objects. I can run the sens. at 6 and pick through just about anything with 3"-4" depth.

I have the 6x8 SEF, the 4.5x7 & 6" EXcelerator coils, and Sunrays 5" & 8" coils. My favorite for real trashy spots is the Sunray 8" coil. For those super heavy trashy spots I prefer my 6" Excelerator coil.

If I were you I'd go with either the Sunray 8" coil or the 6x8 SEF coil. The stock coil does well in trash too.

Hey guys,
I am just wondering whats up with the 8 in coil that comes from minelab? Does anybody use it and if not why not or if so why so. I just would like to know what you might find different with the other coils.

thanks,

I have one, I never use it. The 8x6 is much better.

The 11" Pro coil is good in trash too, it seperates like a razor... the 8x6 is a little better but the 11" will work in trash just fine IMO.

Try stock coil with two tone ferrous

 

[jbow]

the 8x6 is only slightly better if at all. The smaller coil will get into tighter places but as for seperation... i'm not convinved it is better.

I think the 8x6 is better when the trash is VERY tight and VERY heavy (digging multiple targets in about every hole). I am very impressed with it, as it can pick out deep targets through the crap pretty well with a super slow swing speed. I just had a 7 silver day with it on Saturday (3 Barber dimes, 2 Mercs, 1 Roosie and 1 Type II Std Liberty quarter (no date)) in a heavy trash area that everybody just kinda zips right through! My friend was using the stock coil and got only 1 silver.

I agree that the stock 11" PRO coil does a great job in medium to heavy trash. But if the desirable targets are less than 10 inches and the trash is very heavy, out comes the 8x6!
