How does the 11X8 DD coil compare to the 9X8 concentric?

[bigtim1973]

Was curious if any of you have used both the 11X8 DD coil and how it compares to the 9X8 concentric? Wanting to get a new coil for my silver sabre umax and I know how well I like the 9X8 but was wondering how well the 11X8 new DD one does. Thanks in advanced.

I don't have the 11x8 in a 5 pin, but my bet would be that it doesn't discriminate or pinpoint as well as the concentric. Where do you plan on using it?

I hunt old house sites and all. I am not really as concerned with the pinpointing in it as I do the toe heel thing with DD coils. Do you have a 4 pin version on another unit like cibola or vaquero?? Separation on Tesoro units are already pretty darn good. I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a big difference

Just want to know if there is a noteable difference between the 2.

I was pleasantly surprised and from reading your post, I know that you are going to be too. . The RSD will change a lot of people's mind. The tides of a paradigm will unravel a new understanding when hunting trash riddled ground with a greater cushion of air between coil & ground. I just wish they'll pair it up with a compadre. It would be a stones throw from a riot.

Glad it's working well on your Deleon! I use the 4 pin version on my Tejon, and it's OK for sensitivity and depth, but not consistent for discrimination. It is easier to use in mineralized soil than the concentric, though.
