Vista X --- 7" Concentric Search Coil

[Sven]

I know the 7" concentric and a 5" DD coil are in the works for the X.
Kind of a polling question(s).

How many of you potential Vista X buyers would buy a smaller 7" concentric coil?
And possibly a 5" DD coil?

For the most part I like the smaller coils for trashy schoolyard, parks, picnic grounds I hunt. Over the years
gravitated to the smaller 7" size coils for this type of hunting. They provide just the right amount of depth and sensitivity
for the targets generally found down to 6-7" deep.

I have used the small 5" round DD coils on the Fisher GoldBug and Teknetics T2. Super easy to swing and are really
killer coils for shallow and small targets in dense trash. Took a bit of getting used to when first using these smaller size coils.
You just can be in a rush or think your going to cover a large area anytime soon. The 5" coils can really dissect an area and pick up targets
missed by larger coil sizes.

Right now I am really looking forward to the 7" concentric coil for the Vista X being released.

One other thought, a lightweight search coil would really balance a detector out if the epoxy potting used was of a light weight material. Quest detectors,
uses a real lightweight filling to produces such a lightweight coil. Guessing they use a light weight filler mixed in with the epoxy?

The Vista X having three coils available for it would round this detector out for many. Stock 9x11DD, 7"Concentric, and 5"DD.

Vista X coils! could use one 5'' and 7''. First up have to sell my Smart Plus with four coils!

"I'm big into small coils!" (is that an oxymoron?)

Gotta have a smaller coil. I myself would prefer a 8" coil. For my hunting, seems just right. Buy hey, a 7"" will do just find.

I would Welcome a 5 or maybe a 6DD built in the octagon shape!Im finding that octagon shape on the stock coil is deadly in trash right in the tip.Its very deadly no matter what's being low toned or disc'ed under the rest of the coil the front narrowed angle in the nose and rear can pick a high tone out quite eerily even when rejected or low toned targets are swamping the coil!!

I would like to at least see what a Concentric in the 7 range would do on tin sites.

6"DD octagon shaped coil coil, that would be interesting along with the 7" concentric.

I'd get the 7" concentric even if a 5" DD was also available. Though the seven-incher might not be quite as good in tight areas, I prefer concentrics for most situations.

I have a 10 by 5 coil for my MXT that I really like. I would like to see that size for the Vista x

Everyone says the Super-6 (8" x 5") coil works great on the other Vista models. Wouldn't mind one of those and a 7" elliptical concentric coil.

Also what Keith said on the small octagon (6") coil.
