NEL ATTACK 15” COIL on AT PRO test ***

This is from Sunday mornings 3rd test run with this combo. As you can see by the pictures I found 39 coins (none good) at this 1912 house, in the front yard, that has been condemned by fire. (14) coins I found on one side of the front yard that I had went over 2X already with the 5x8 coil. The conclusion is that the original Garrett coils give you tons of info on the target below and tell you what you may not want to dig. The NEL coil tells you what you should dig. You will dig more bottle caps, but you will dig more coins! I found the dragonfly pin on the side I already went over 2X with the 5x8 coil? All of the signals I dug with the NEL coil were solid double pings. I do not know how I missed them with the factory coil? If this NEL coil was a piece of garbage I would also post that, but so far has been awesome. I found (5) wheats on the 2nd outing on lawns I already had went over 2x with the standard coils. I also found a nice “Black Hills” silver ring too! More feedback on the 15” ATTACK coil to follow.

Hey folks cool thread btw! May I ask what about the Nel sharp shooter? I only have the standard coil on my ATP and was thinking of getting the small coil from nel. Is it good or better than the small Garrett 5x8 coil??

Sweet...
Please give us a report on your trip with the attack coil.
I have the Sharpshooter 5.5x9.5" NEL coil that will be here tomorrow to replace my factory Garrett 5x8" coil. I will give a report of its performance after a couple of outings... good or bad...

I don't own an AT Pro yet, but once I get one, a NEL coil will be one of my first accessory purchases. Other than a pinpointing learning curve, I hear nothing but good things about the coils after doing extensive research. I want to get the NEL BIG coil so that I can cover as much ground as I can.

That would be a 15x17' coil... the biggest they make... Mine is 15x15" and I love it...

Which if you look at those dimensions you'll notice the height is the same so you will cover the same distance per swing. The only thing someone should get the big Over the attack would be a want for even more depth because you'll cover the same amount of area in the same amount of time.

well...im at the beach and have used the nel attack coil on the beach several times(on my atp).My evaluation so far is...First off it would literally wear you out trying to use it in the water.First off coil is very large and second its very buoyant.Now on wet sand its not real tough to quieten it down enough to detect with.The biggest problem im having is emi from the high rise condos up and down the beach.At times I am using full sense,when I have to drop it down im usually in front of a large condo,and as a matter of fact im having a lot of trouble in the dry sand getting it quiet.So basically the further away from the buildings the hotter I can run it.Now...the depth is not what I expected and I haven't dug a target more than 3 or 4 inches and I have dug a lot of targets. But it hits hard on the targets and u will hear it even among the chatter.Doesent seem to have a lot of depth but it is sensitive....it loves bobby pins and small pieces of iron smaller than a dime.You have to pay attention as usual for the iron tones on either side of the high tone because it hits high tones on small bits of iron...but will give that iron roll on either side if u listen.....no gold or silver yet....but it does hit hard on coins and gives accurate vdi on them......more later...Barrywk

NEL Sharpshooter report is coming... I tried it for a few hours and really liked it. I like the fact that it is just 1/2" wider but 1.5" longer than the factory 5x8. It is very sensitive with good depth too. I like it so much I already sold my 5x8 to my friend. More to come...

I dont think I will ever use the factory 8.5 x 11" coil ever again... just NEL coils for me :)

Wow to me if the factory ATP coil is good then the NEL's gotta be insane! Definately on my wish list is the NEL SS coil then!
