Who's with me on wanting this?

[88junior]

I would love to see a 5" DD coil released from Garrett for my AT-Gold! I have the 5x8" already and love it but there's a few places I hunt that I believe a 5" DD would pay for itself. I don't care much for concentric coils due to the lesser separation abilities.

I am with you on this. I don't care for concentric coils. But don't think Garrett is going to make a 5" DD coil. I have a 5" DD NEL Sharp on order for the AT-Gold.

Yeah I have been thinking of buying one of the Sharp coils myself. If you can when you get it give us your thoughts on it. I hate to go that route but if Garrett isn't going to produce one I guess I'll have to.

I would only be able to do air tests as the ground is solid as a rock in my neck of the woods. Hope that will do for now. GS

whats wrong with the sniper coil

 

[GroundScanner]

For me , i have bad soil and think the DD coils are better in bad soil . And i know it's not much at all but the 5" is a slightly larger but not noticeable that much. I just like how DD's work. GS

The sniper coil is a concentric coil which means it has a rounder field of detection as with a DD it has a narrower field of detection which means it going to separate targets better. They also handle mineralized soil better.
