Anyone using 5x10 elliptical for T2 yet ?

I know there have been a couple of post concerning the new coil, but do not recall having seen many comments yet on the likes and or dislikes. Love using a closed coil vs the spider type in the stubble, weeds, and vines. They hang up much less often. Seems to me it would be idea for use anywhere the space to swing is limited. Love the little 5 inch and really impressed with it's depth, but just VERY small unless it is really tight to swing or terribly trashy. As much as I hunt in wooded and grown up areas I feel it may be a great primary coil. What say Ye?

Hey guns, you will luv this coil!!! I use it so much that I sold the 11"dd because there is hardly any difference in depth in the two. It separates so much better and swings even better than that. You will kick yourself if you don't pick one up bud. GL&HH..

Sure appreciate the input fishstick. You are about the only one I know using one. How is he weight compared to the 11 DD ?

Well not on T2, but the 5 X 10 size is the stock on Omega, and in my opinion (having used a lot of detectors) is the optimal size, and shape. You've got separation, and manouverability of a 5, with the coverage of a 10. And as fishstick mentioned, I saw not appreciable depth gain by putting on the 11DD, a half inch MAX is not worth the loss of manouverability (between corn stalks, rocks, bushes etc.) or increase in weight.

It is the best coil shape / size.
