it would be a good all around coil in trash but not near as good for coins as the Digger coil

I owned one for about two years and sold it. I used the heck out of it and have to say that It was my least favorite coil under any soil conditions although I did have a few very notable finds with it. Your results may be different than mine but I haven't missed it since I sold it.
I just never felt the depth or the coverage was anywhere near the 6" HF Minelab coil. Once the 6" Coiltek coil came out I've even stopped using the 6" HF Minelab coil for the most part unless I'm detecting in the deep snow or water. Being that the newer runs of the 6" Coiltek coil are now waterproof I think for most people that would be their best choice for a 6" coil. Again....your results may vary.
I'm a fan of the 6" Coiltek coil in any soil conditions with the Minelab 6' HF a little further behind in second place. I always tell people that if this were golf or some other sport the 6" Coiltek coil wold be banned from competition because it's like cheating, it's just that much better.

After using both, the 18.75 6" DD was better for me, and now I rarely take it off my 505! It handles EMI way better and allows me to run full sensitivity or close with no chatter. Also it is deeper in ground, (only 1/2" deeper in air) more sensitive to smaller objects, and separates better in trash. I would recommend it for coinshooting (as well as gold jewelry). HH, Scott
