NEL coils or Detech

[Fletch88]

That's the only coil he swings on that machine, unless he's woods hunting.

I could use it with a harness, but hate wearing one. Will he let you use it on your machine to see how you like it? I tried to send mine right back to the dealer in Florida (the high volume, low customer service one) and was told I'd has to pay 20% restocking fee! That ended my buying from them!

I tried a 13" Ultimate on my Etrac and absolutely hated it. The balance is pretty bad with the 11" Procoil, but with the 13" it was really bad. Ask your buddy if you can swing his for 30 mins, maybe you'll like it. I knew after about 10 mins I wasn't going to like the balance. I have picked up a Sunray X-8 and X-5 and really like both coils. The X-8 will do fine in 90% of trashy areas I hunt and the balance of the machine is much better. I've only used the X-5 a couple times, so can't comment a whole lot on it. Good luck & HH!

12×15", 15x18" SEF Butterflys and 15" WOT is all I swing and I can swing them all day. Now I have them on excal custom straight shafts which helps with the balance as you can adjust hand grip & cuff to ballance the shaft.....

I would have no issue with one on my ETrac, but I also hunt with the harness and have gotten very use to it. I connect the bungee to a 2 liter camelpac I wear so I always have fresh cold water on me within easy reach....

20% that's a littlw ridiculous! I used his 15x18 SEF coil for a couple months and didn't mind that at all.
Do u still have that ultimate coil?

20% is standard restocking fee, remember coil can no longer be sold as new...

I use the 15x18 sef on my Sov if I am not going in the water, has a huge foot print, goes deep and is still sensitive to tiny targets. Smallest gold I found with it to date was a infant's gold ring, weighed 1.6 grams...

I really like that 15x18 on my safari, it found a few coins I missed with thw stock coil. Seems like it really like nickels. Found my first war nickel with it. The guy who owns it, the first day he had it found 2 V nickels in a heavy Hunter area.

Hey Fireguy, I can't say much about the SEF stuff, I've never tried it. but I have been very impressed with the NEL stuff, I own a Sharpshooter, and have ordered a Hunter for both my F-2 and 2200. I had the pleasure of using one all summer on a F-5,,I admire yer grit on the leave my detector out of it part of this thread,,,,You should use what you have and are comfortable with. who cares how much you paid for it. Anyone have a good contact for the SEF stuff I would luv to look into it. As far as the NEL coils, contact golddigger.com there here in the US.

I ended up going with the NEL storm, should be here Thursday.

Please give us an update of how well it works in the field.

Ok so it's snowing so not much field testing yet but here is some info.

You can max the sensitivity without falsing away from EMI. I had no falsing away from my house. But when I tried messing with it in my house the wifi router made my machine go crazy until I stepped outside and knocked the Sen. Down two notches. After that it was fine. I did some air tests in the garage and here is what I got. I tested the storm in my garage away from my router but I still had to go one notch from maximum sensitivity.

I recorded the results were I got 100% consistency with each pass.

Stock coil. ___ Storm.
Max Sen. ____ One notch from max.

Clad penny.
8" ___ 9.5"

Copper penny.
8" ___ 10.5"

Nickel.
7" ___ 11"

Dime.
6.5" ___ 10"

Quarter.
9.5" ___ 11.5"

Results on my garrett ace 250
Let me know what other info you want.
