4x6 DD vs 5.3 coil - Any preferences?

I've been hunting with a 6x10 DD coil as my primary now this season with good results. I have a pretty trashy park area where lots o' college kids have enjoyed beverages over the years and I'm expecting a subterranean ocean of pull tabs to be intertwined with treasure. A 4-5" depth would be great and was wondering what people's experience have been with these two coils? I don't think the ground is really mineralized. Are they pretty even in performance for this setting?
Thanks,
Steve
 
go with the 4x6 dd great depth and seperation in my experience.
 
I have both and both are good with the 5.3 having more depth and better coverage. However, in heavy trash the 4X6 really shines as long as you have the patience to cover less ground, slowly. Separation and pinpointing are great. In my humble opinion it's as simple as heavy trash = 4X6, moderately heavy trash and more general lhunting = 5.3. If you can eventually work both into your arsenal you'll be pretty well set. I use the 6X10 a good deal too and like it over the 9.5, but that's just me.

I thought the 'Shooter' coil worked 'OK' for me, however, I prefer the 5.3 Eclipse. Both coils are a bit mislabeled. The 4X6 Shooter, an elliptical wide-scan design, isn't 4" wide, for example. The 5.3 Eclipse, a round, concentric design, is in the same 6
