I just purchased a CORS 15 X15 " Fire searchcoil for my Garrett ACE 400.My ACE came
with a 8.5 X 11" but I never used it.I had a 5 X 8" and am a happy camper with it.
I have found good coins in areas that were hunted out due to getting in between the
junk and finding the good.
I do have a couple of areas that are old,old.And it will have some good stuff
but the stuff will be deep.My 5 X 8 is good for silver at a decent depth,but not for the
really deep stuff.So I have this 15 X 15" CORS coil coming.From the UKRAINE none the less.
It'll be almost a month before it arrives.
I've read reviews and they say you get about 4-5 x-tra inches on most coins.That'll
put it down there as much as I'd like to dig.
So.anyone out there have a CORS or NEL coil they want to review?I'd sure like to hear
about it.Thanks

I know this may be a little too late for you guys unless you can cancel your orders, but I got a Cors Scout on E-bay for the same price as buying one from Ukraine. it came in about 3 days. It was for my Makro Racer 2 but I found out that i didn't gain any noticeable depth from it, still its a great coil. No falsing that I could see and it covers more ground while still being light. I'll use it for woods hunting and keep the stock coil for the parks.

OGRE,Wow.According to ebay they say Mar. 22'nd.And that it has shipped.Well.Whatever I guess.
So which coil did you order?I hope we aren't disappointed.I hope the wait and money are worth it.

P.S> I hope Russia didn't bomb their factory or something....

Dr. Witty-What size coil did you replace the Scout with?
I just done research on YouTube and the CORS Fire showed a big increase in depth.It's the internet so you know it is true.(heavy sarcasm) .)
The Scout is a little bigger than my stock coil that came with my ACE..8.5 X 11".I sold that one on ebay to help curve the cost of the 5 X 8.
Much better at coin shooting.
I am interested in the actual performance of the Fire coil.I hate to get burned on it,but I'm in it now.So we'll see.Thanks for the info
and your honesty.

I ordered the Sharpshooter, Bay. Already got the "It was shipped, but came back" reply. Twice. I'm not really worried, cuz I can get a full refund...but it IS aggravating.

I replaced the stock 11x7 "Coil with the Scout. The stock Makro Racer 2 coil is a beast and goes very deep, so i wasn't surprised that i couldn't get any more depth with the Cors. I like the extra ground coverage though.

Hope you are also planning on getting a sling, I bought a 12" x 15" butterfly coil 4 years ago and can only swing it for an hour unless I use my sling. Big coils add weight and can make then nose heavy.
