The 5.7" coil arrived today. Unboxed it and attached it to the lower rod of the Vista X. Turned on the Vista X and played around on the bench air testing multitude of targets from coins, rings, foil, and other trash. One thing that stood out, is insane air test depths. Second thing that stood out, the Vista X with this small coil loves gold. Gold rings, gold coins, and tiny gold nuggets down to about 3 grains. Kind of reminds me of the Vista Gold's capabilities. Did some testing with my vial of magnetic black sand. Once ground balanced to it and holding the vial stationary, then running a coin, gold target across it, the Vista clearly saw these good targets. Then grabbed my bucket of local beach sand with the same black magnetic sand mixed in. Again ground balanced to it. The Vista X had no problems seeing right thru it and sounding off on a good target. The real test will be this weekend in real life ground detecting. Looking forward to it. Thanks Rosi for an awesome little coil.
