Nel Attack for which detector.

[Sheppie22]

I own a AT Pro and a Etrac. going to purchase a Nel Attack coil but not sure which maching to get for. I'm leaning towards the Etrac. Any thoughts?

My thoughts are...

That if you get it for the Etrac...it will widen the gap over the AT Pro.

That if you get it for the AT Pro....it will lessen the gap to the Etrac.


So getting for the AT Pro would give you a 9/10 machine and a 10/10 machine.....

Getting it for the Etrac you'd have a 7/10 machine and a 11/10 machine.....

(My scale is just to make a point...not ruffling feathers saying the AT Pro is a 7/10)

Thanks for the response. Kinda my thoughts exactly.

The big question is, Why are you getting a new coil? Is there something wrong with your present coils?
Most of these aftermarket coils are jest expensive eye candy on your detector. A bigger coil just gives you a larger scanned area on each swing. A smaller coil just gives you a bit more separation on targets, like if you hunt garbage dumps. The thing is the power output of your detector is the same!
I have used the same stock coils that came with my detectors for years. My current ones are 16 years old. They will go down as deep as the new stock Detector & stock coils will go. Hay, my 2 Box is probably 20 years old and it will go down over 6'. The coil on the transmitter & receiver are the aluminum trim on the cases. It's the guts in the box that makes the difference, not the coil. Just something to think about from an old hunter! Frank

My main reason is that for the past 5 years I have had the privilege of hunting a now closed down golf course that dates back to the 1930s. I have found over 2000 coins there which 173 of those are silver. I still find coins their but they are becoming fewer and fewer between. I believe that there are many coins still there but just out of the reach of my stock coils. If I can get just another inch or two of depth I believe I can find many more. At least that's my thoughts. Been hunting for 38 years so I have the experience.

Let's see, coins from the 30's in Ohio. Your present detector and coil should pick them up easily. They probably aren't over 6" deep. Most will be at the tee off sites, spill from when the player reached in his pocket for a tee. A larger coil doesn't go deeper, it just covers more area. You are just spreading out the same power from your detector.
You might try a good PI detector for more depth. Just my thoughts. Frank

I have AT PRO attack coil goes deeper in my coin garden My 2 cents

Just curious, How deep will it go for a quarter? Frank

Since you are hunting silver coins, for sure get it for the Etrac.
