Need some info from the pros. I mostly hunt yards and Parks and old lots with lots of trash,but I've been pulling plenty of silver with the 950 but I think I'm still missing some and I wanted to know which ones better for my areas that I hunt. Thanks for any input
 
If you're looking for something that works pulling silver out of trashy areas I'd recommend the Eclipse 5.3. Better depth than the 4x6 shooter coil. The two DD coils you mentioned will only have an advantage in the trash if you were to detect everywhere from from 2 directions (90 degrees to each other.) Otherwise the the 9 to 10" size could still mask good targets due to trash near by. Even at 90 degrees it may still be too large. The 5.3 will get the same depth as the 6X10 DD but better target separation, and pinpointing. Some folks like the D2 and some folks don't,. I'm of the latter. The D2 has a good following in the East but the 950 seems to work better in the West, IMHO, and it pinpoints better.
 
Some of it has to do with the type of soil you hunt. Heavily mineralized soil likes a DD better than a concentric.Thus some areas a 5.3 works best in trash in lower mineralized, other areas both soils may work great with the 4X6 shooter. Not as deep but great separation in very heavy trash slow but effective, also gets closer to large metal like fences and play ground stuff. 6X10 never was a favorite of mine but some really like it. I like a couple of after market coils like the 6X8 Excelerator great trash hunter,10X12 Excelerator If you get a good one it gets deeper than the 10DD by a inch or so . The10 DD is pretty well my go to coil for now for starter hunting then I will go to another after I feel out the ground for a bit. Hope this helps a bit. Yazoo
 
You said "heavy trash". All three coils mentioned have an aspect that lends itself to this but.......for me it would be the 5.3 also. (This coil is also a go to coil for rough hillsides and the brush.) You will be needing a DD too......I'd just get a 5.3 first.
