Picked up a Fisher Gold Bug Pro. What's your favorite coil for coin shooting in iron trash, and why?

Really interested in the NEL 5.5 x 9.5" Sharpshooter, but liked the 10" DD on my old G2. Any recomendations?
Thanks

I like the NEL 5" Sharp. It goes deep for a 5" coil and it separates really well. Mine doe not fit snug on the end of the stock lower shaft though so needs a very thin shim.

Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to check that coil out.

Teknetics 5 inch DD coil works great on the G2 at super trashy iron laden sites. I have that combo in the car and ready go detecting with it in the morning. I'm going to set the discrimination on 35 or lower, go super slow and listen very carefully for any faint high tones that give off flashes of higher ID numbers. I pulled a lot of good targets from trashy iron laden sites doing this. I have the Sharpshooter coil, but I prefer the stock 11 inch DD coil on the G2. It gets a lot better depth and separates just about as good. On the other hand, I prefer the Sharpshooter coil over the 11 inch DD coil on the Omega, because it handles EMI better and I can turn up the sensitivity to get good depth without a bunch of chatter in my ear.

Type this in you tube search....."Gold Chain - Wet Salt Water Sand - Factory 5" Coil vs NEL 5" Coil". There is an excellent video comparison between the stock 5" and 5" NEL Sharp.

For coin shooting it's got to be the nel sharpshooter great wee coil.
Only use the 5" one if on the river bank or gold prospecting.
