Looking for experience using either the 5.75, 10 x 12 widescan and cleansweep.
Anything not common or different from using the stock coil.

I can help with the Clean Sweep as I've had lots of experience with that coil. It too is a widescan and though as deep as normal 7" coil, it covers a 18" area in a wiper blade pattern instead of the cone you get with other coils. Many complain of pinpointing problems as they are trying to X the area with the center of the coil. The Clean Sweep is hot on the tip or heel of the coil.

Hope this helps.

I have the new 575DD on my Cibola. It seems really good in trash and its pretty deep. My only difficulty has been with pinpointing but not a big issue. A nice addition to your arsenal!!!!!

The 5.75 should be the second coil in your collection. You will need it in trashy areas and it works great. It is almost as deep as the stock coil too.

The 10x12 Widescan is great for wide open clean areas, but it can be a pain to pinpoint, especially if there is more than one target under the coil. You have to pinpoint with the tip of the coil, turn 90 degrees and do it again until your pretty sure the target is under the tip. It is a pain, but I have found a lot of nice things that I missed with the 8x9 since it covers so much area and the detection field is more or less the entire coil straight down.
