What is the best DD coil for the M6

Ray S ECenFL · Dec 25, 2008

Elliptical 4 x 6 inch "DD" or the 6” EXcelerator EQ2 Pro DD Search Coil

Which coil is the best choice for general use in trashy areas?

Thanks for your input.

My opinion is the 6x10 DD Eclipse.

I decided to go with the 4x6 DD to hunt trashy areas. Target seperation is a must at some of the areas I hunt.

It is on order.

You made the right choice with the 4 x6 DD for the real trashy areas. However, in my opinion the best overall coils for the M6 is the 6 x 10 or the new 10 round DD. I have never used the new coil but I hear it is very good. I use the 6x10 DD 95% of the time. The only time it is off is when I put the 4 x 6 on, and this is only in really trashy areas. The 6 x 10 does a great job of trash separation in moderate trash and is an absolute animal anywhere else. The M6 with these coils is a coin monster that does great on small gold because of the 15 kHz frequency. I hunt all the time in Tones, with desc set a 9 o'clock, senc as high I can run it and still run smooth and auto track on. :thumbsup:

I will have to put the 6 x 10 on my wish list.
