SEF 6X8 or Sunray X-5

I am a newbie with the E-trac and want to get a smaller coil for some trashy areas I will be hunting soon. My dealer say the Sunray X-5 is the best coil (of course he sells them). Has anyone out there used them both?
 
I have them both. Both are very good coils!

SEF 6x8, probably just because it's a bigger coil, will hit deeper. I have found some really nice coins with the X-5 in extremely trashy conditions.

I have an opinion on comparing the 2.........I owned the SunRay 5" till I sold it on EBay a couple weeks ago..........Nice lil coil,depth to about 6 1/2"......Great for trashy area,but you have to move real slow threw the trash.............I almost wish I had kept it,and may buy another -or- the excellerator 5"..I tried my buddies 6 x 8 sef,and fell in Love with it.Great in the trash,great Tones,
Great Depth....I was continually finding 4-7" silver......I called my buddy over on a signal I got that in swing had the depth meter at about 8-10"........I dug down about 7-8",and then had to call him over.....It was still 13/42 on my sunray,and I had to have him watch as I un-earthed this thing....had my probe in the hole lil past the plastic nut at the top (9" ?)....Then I pulled out a thin 3/4" copper washer.....I was not depressed,cause I learned what a deepy sounds like on the 6 x 8".....I ordered mine,and will have it wensday............Both coils are good in the trash,but the 6 x 8" SEF goes deeper,and covers more Ground,the 5" can get a goodie even closer to shallow trash.........That's MY take on the subject....H.H. ALL

Same as a post I responded to above....................H.H. ALL
 
I have no idea because I just ordered mine yesterday.. lol, but they all talked me into the SEF and I ordered it yesterday morning! :)
