I recently conducted a user oriented coil test of Minelab's Xterra 705 for Kellyco Metal Detectors. My test was not intended to be a technical or engineering evaluation of the machine but rather a report based on the initial observations through the eyes of an average first time user comparing 2 different coil options.

As I always say, the specific results shown are very much dependent on a variety of physical conditions of the test environment. Similar tests conducted under different conditions or in other geographical areas may well produce somewhat different results.

The full report can be found at the link below:

Field Test Report


Note: I am not currently nor have I ever been a paid employee of Kellyco. Testing and reporting on their metal detecting equipment is done on a voluntary basis. For an old soldier like me who has a passion for the hobby of metal detecting, this is a most enjoyable retirement activity!

Good write-up. I would like to see a head-to-head comparison test between the NEL and Coiltek coils.:icon_thumleft:

Sorry, I personally don't know of any specific tests of the NEL Attack on the X-Terra 705 but I'll bet there are some. Have you tried searching You Tube or the Internet with that specific criteria?
