I have been thinking about buying one of the Nel coils for my ATG. has anyone here tried the Nel coils i know they have a few models and the videos i have seen on youtube were pretty impressive for trash discrimination and depth. I find the 5x8 alittle bit small for hunting parks it is perfect on pinpointing it just takes alot longer to get through my grid areas. i have thought about getting the 8.5x11 from garrett but i have had lots of PP problems on my gtp1350 with it any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.8-)

There have been mixed revues on those after market coils. I seldom see comments on the Garrett forums. You might want to try post this question on a few more Garrett Forums.

Good luck!

I use NEL hunters on my X-Terra's and CSI Pro with excellent results.........see a few AT-Gold/NEL Hunter users over here with similar reports.

There is a NEL distributer in the US now so no more international deals or weeks of shipping so go for it

OK, throw us a bone here. Who, where can I get a NEL in the US?

I'm definitely going to be getting the nel hunter it's supposed to have really good discrimination and great depth.

I bought the largest coil NEL had for my ATP, (can't think of the name right now) it seems to overload in trashy areas (expected), did an air test on a silver dime, picked up about 2" in depth, found a dime in the yard with a great clean signal, didn't dig it, switched to the stock 8.5 x 11 coil, signal was good but not as good / clean with the NEL coil. My opinion is NEL makes a good coil for extra depth, downside is it seems to weigh twice as much, plus it was "chattery" when trying to ground balance, might just be a problem with the large coil, I think it's 15 x 17.

I finally got my Nel hunter on monday and was able to test it in my back yard for an hour the increase in depth is incredible im getting an extra 6 inches. i found a 1940 wheat cent and what looks like the grill for a BBQ or small garden fence also found a dime another penny a nickle and a few other metal objects i am very impressed with the new coil you can definitly feel the extra weight i noticed my swing is much slower with this larger coil im going to have to put my swingy thingy on. one more thing i really liked is that the numbers seem tighter and more accurate.
