Not me. I found this post funny because i just got the 5.75 coil for my Golden. We went in totally different directions. Keep us posted on your new satellite dish LOL
tab are you talking of the DD if so its a very good coil Hits a 7" dime well and 8" gold ring really well and ignors small iron and bits well, and for mineralized dirt really good I think you will like it its going to get deep things for you and it handles trash very good I like to hunt in what i call the half moon position in threshold, because it ignors most small things but hits tabs at good depth, by half moon I mean i turn the threshold left in the middle of the round Icon halfway thats when i search for gold rings I dig very little junk in that setting but it hits hard on pulls and gold you may hit a srface nail but they should always be shalow and easy to dig or disern. thats hunting threshold all metal its a great coil . I think you made a good choice, and if you have a spot that is badly mineralized this will get thru it in threshold or no motion

Love mine, I mounted it on my Vaq and it usually just stays on there most of the time.
A little heavier but balances well and easy to swing and keep level.
I have hunted very heavily trash filled sites and it works ok, I don't like the fact that most high tone pop tops can't be disced out like with the concentrics most of them sound suspiciously exactly like dimes and quarters...but that is just the nature of the beast.
I use mine where I might want to go pretty deep, but the best use is when I have some large wide open areas that I want to cover fast and efficiently.and not have a ton of those "what if" feelings that I tend to get thinking I might have missed something good.
I was out at a site last year running, and I mean running around a big wide open park swinging that coil at warp 3 just looking for one good signal I could dig before I left to go home that day.
I looked like a hockey player quickly moving down the ice...you would have laughed.
You know what?
It actually worked that day and I did come across some trash and one "Hail Mary" signal.
I set the knob a little below foil before I started this run, I got a quick tone a few minutes later, stopped and came back to investigate.
The signal disced out at high tab just under zinc and I dug a plug and saw a beaver tail laying at the bottom of this 3" deep hole.
Thought that was it but I stuck my Propointer back in the hole to re-scan and got another signal in the side of the hole about 1/2 inch in and very shallow and wrapped up in the roots of the grass I found a beautiful 14k woman's wedding band!
Not sure if my Vaq hit on the tab or the coil or both because they were so close, but whatever it was that coil that found it.
Hail Mary, indeed!
Just that one target paid for the price of that coil and more.
I don't think I would have ever found this moving as fast as I was that day with a concentric coil.
My chances with most any other coil except the clean sweep would have been greatly reduced, anyway.
I bet you are gonna love this thing.

Guys, I guess I should mention that the 10 x 12 inch DD coil that I just purchased, comes with a 5.75 inch coil and the Outlaw. 
I had to return the prototype Outlaw awhile back that was loaned to me. I only got to borrow it for 6 months. I teared up a little when I took it to the post office.
