Condensed detection field for target separation in iron, tight maneuvering around obstacles, and sensitivity to small targets: fine jewelry, small coins and gold nuggets. Submersible housing on the Vortex waterproof connector. Ships with its protective coil cover. Fits the Vortex VX5, VX7 and VX9 only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Ripper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Vortex ships with the 8.5 x 11 in \/ 22 x 28 cm Raider, and for open parks and fields it is the right coil. The Ripper exists for the ground the Raider cannot work cleanly: colonial and homestead sites choked with square nails, picnic-grove playgrounds with metal poles every few feet, creek banks full of roots and rock, and stubble fields where a wide coil snags. A smaller Double‑D footprint sees fewer targets at once, so overlapping signals separate into readable Target IDs instead of a rejected smear, and the coil can be swung within inches of an iron pole or a chain-link fence without the interference a larger coil picks up. That concentration of field energy is also why it is the Vortex coil to carry for small jewelry and small gold. Competing dealers list this coil and stop there; the question a Vortex owner actually has is which of the four coils to buy, so the table below answers it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Vortex coil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 13px; margin: 20px 0 25px 0; word-break: keep-all; overflow-wrap: normal; table-layout: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 x 8 in \/ 13 x 20 cm DD Ripper (this coil)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIron-infested sites, tight spaces, obstacles, small jewelry and small gold; the separation coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8.5 x 11 in \/ 22 x 28 cm DD Raider\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe coil in every Vortex box; general parks, fields and beaches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6 x 11 in \/ 15 x 28 cm DD Viper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNarrow elliptical for depth with good separation in moderate trash\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 38%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14 x 11 in \/ 36 x 28 cm DD Reaper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum coverage and depth on open ground, large fields and beach flats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 13px; margin: 20px 0 25px 0; word-break: keep-all; overflow-wrap: normal; table-layout: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"white-space: nowrap; width: 1%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGarrett 2238500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"white-space: nowrap; width: 1%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 x 8 in \/ 13 x 20 cm Double‑D, elliptical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"white-space: nowrap; width: 1%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGarrett Vortex VX5, VX7, VX9 only.
