Small is More

Many ATP users won't go smaller than the 5X8 DD since it covers more area. However the Concentric 4.5 is hotter and able to hunt near swing sets and fences. The 5X8 boys are missing a lot. Also the 4.5 finds gold earring backs.
ATP 4.5.JPG It's a little strange swinging this coil but you'll find more in trashy areas. Plus it'll PP right under the X so you won't waste time digging a crater.

Here are some air test comparisons for depth using the sniper coil. It sure is good at pulling out good targets from trshy areas, and because it's a concentric coil, it gives more accurate ID then a DD coil.
