Rick N. MI Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 The SuperSix 6x8 is a sweet coil. I'm guessing the SuperSix is quite a bit lighter than the 8" concentric. I'm sure the 8" is a nice coil. Concentric coils are know to do well in iron. For me the SuperSix is such a smooth running coil. I would have to get the SuperSix first and the 8" concentric later. My last Vista detector I never took the SuperSix off. Also to get more depth turn the ground balance negative (counter clockwise from where it is ground balanced). About 1/2 a turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 I would suggest getting both coils, the SuperSix and 8" concentric. One is not better than the other, to me they compliment each other & give you wider opportunities to be successful. In my high mineral sites I have found a spot on Ground Balance to give the best performance/stability. The depth is there already. Balancing the Gain & Threshold levels for the conditions is the real key to best performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 My ground is very mild. I turn the ground balance neg on my Tejon too. I agree, in hot ground, a normal ground balance would be best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very dry here so the Iron is very well behaved. I won't be able to judge the Concentric until we get some rain to make the iron come alive. I think it will do well though. It separates almost as well as the 8"XS coil & is about as deep, hitting 8" targets solid & touching on my 10" Dime with less than Max settings. The SuperSix separates slightly better than the 8"XS & that is phenomenal. It soft hits 8" targets. Both are very stable. I'm glad I got both coils. I ordered the 8"concentric coil 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
