AT PRO COIL

Gee, you really can't go wrong with either, both stock coils are nice and I think it's a personal choice,
My go-to favorite for all around detecting.is the 5" x 8". It works great for isolation in trashy areas and is noticeably lighter (less fatiguing than the larger), and depth is perfectly adequate (for my needs). I just generally find it more fun to use.
The 8.5" x 11" does get a little better depth and gets you faster coverage in open fields or woods where trash is not an issue. I still find it noticeably heaver and sometimes tougher to get into tight spaces.
I still have a sniper on the old ACE 250 thinking it would be good for the playgrounds and close to fences, etc. To my surprise, I very rarely use the sniper because the 5" x 8" on AT Pro does such a nice job once you get the hang of using it.

for the heavy trash and the 11" for less trashy spots. The 11", of course is deeper, so that comes into play, too. HH jim tn
Either the 5 x 8 DD or the 9 x 12 concentric coil. Small coil for relic hunting in the woods and 9 x 12 for general coin/jewelry hunting, as it covers a large area quicker. The 5 x 8 is deep and very sensitive to tiny targets.
