I love my 6” coil. IMHO the small coil brings a lot more to the table than just separation. The 11” coil does indeed separate very well, but due to it’s size, the 6”er can actually get in between junk targets that are close together and really pick out those tough targets.. targets that are completely masked with a larger coil. Another benefit is the weight reduction. Swinging the Nox with the 6” coil feels almost like swinging a stick. It also speeds up the pinpointing process considerably since you really don’t even need the pinpoint button anymore. The diameter of your plug will likely be larger than the coil anyway. As for depth, in my soil this little coil has been extremely impressive for it’s size. It punches well above its weight class.
Yep, you do give up a lot of coverage with the tiny coil but I actually like jumping in the trashiest spot I can find and just going slow, sifting out those tough signals.
Honestly when I first got my 6” coil I wasn’t all that impressed with it. I was sweeping fairly fast with my recovery speed set pretty high (6 or 7 on my 800). After spending more time using it, what I’ve found works best for me is the exact opposite. Running a lower recovery speed of 4 or 5, and slowing my sweep speed way down. It might sound counterproductive but using this method I’ve been able to pick out several good targets at impressive depths from heavily hunted locations.
