hi rich!
i am hitting deep targets with both coils i like to use the 8' because it does balance little better than the 12,but,again both coils separate well and go deep!
i have slightly mineralized ground here in new england,so the lack of manual g.b is not a factor. this dog can really hunt..i laugh because honestly when i first saw it i thought it was a"toy" that red color was kinda messed up,BUT in my view, it could be colored "dog-doo color brindle" and i would not care.best purchase in a metal detector i ever made. love to hunt now, and the feeling of anticipation is back.i got my lithium -ion batt pack yesterday and now i can get 30 hours life on the batts.pay for itself in no time! ..i don't know to a certainty,but as you get adjusted to the vanquish.you may end up leaving' the 800 at home!

(h.h.!)
j.t.
