Optimal Relic Hunting Coil??

Has anyone ever given any thought to what might be the optimal relic hunting coil? What size and what configuration (concentric or DD)? Seems to me that it would have to balance seperation with depth. I just can't seem to come up with one coil that is universal enough in a relic site. I either have a coil that has great seperation (the 6" DD comes to mind) and decent depth, but no real coverage, or a larger coil (10"+) that covers a good amount of ground and gets great depth, but has lousy seperation. Assuming the perfect coil doesn't really exist, how would you design The Relic Hunting Coil?
 
IMHO it is the 8" coil. I prefer a DD for most applications. Does well on depth (my record bullet depth is held with an 8" CoinSearch) trash separation and fair coverage. Actually, if your hunting correctly, the 8" covers perfectly. Otherwise your swinging too fast.

The perfect machine the perfect coil the perfect day...I think what ever machine you know like the back of your hand and any coil that gets you want you want will do for me. Small coil coveres less ground but may unmask targets better? DD fast on the F75 and F70 great for relic hunting but for me it is like a golfer you take your best shot and change clubs.
