Best Coil for using an Eldorado (later model) in moderately bad to bad dirt

[BamaBill]

Has anyone tried an 8.5 DD coil on the Tesoro Eldorado (smaller uMax like model) in iffy dirt? Can you get 8" on bullet?

I've used the 7" DD in moderate soil at an old logging camp area. No bullets, but did hit a rusty can the size of a 3Lb. coffee can at a measured 15" with a strong signal response. Admittedly a large target and due to the rust, a good halo. I would think the 8.5 would hit a larger caliber bullet at 8" or so, but haven't ever tried that.
