[QUOTE="davent, post: 602975, member: 6002"] The x coils are flat wound style version of the zeds traditional windings, and the nugget finder zed search is also a bundle wound version. personally, atm, im pretty happy with the standard 15x14 zed coil, finding .2 gram speccies at good depth. Old mate reckons that the only advantage of the 6k is weight, but I believe that its taming of emi and ground noise is the reason it sees the smaller bits, and thats a good advantage. In perfect conditions, my zed is awesome on all size gold I have found with it so far, but when the emi is bad,I miss the faint signals , I know this because when i revisit ground I have been over during bad emi, I find the .2's etc that I missed. I probably wont buy one, because I have a zed, and just dont have another 8K to spend. Its a hobby for me, no different to fishing, except i can keep my gold without it going stinky, and it goes up in value rather than down . i f i didnt have a zed, and due to where i live, the tropics, where thunder and lightning disrupt detecting for 3-5 months a year, i would consider a 6K for sure.
