18in.EXcellerator Coil

I'm reading about the new 18in. EXcellerator coil on Kellyco's Metal Detecting site and their saying it can be used on an MXT and find dimes at 18in. and quarters at 22in.. Has anybody tried them and are these depths inflated? I called Whites and they said their 14in. coil will increase depth by about 15% over the stock 91/2 coil so I can't see how 4 more inches in coil dia. would give you 8 to 10 more inches in depth. Will these bigger coils miss smaller targets like a half dime more often than the stock coil?
 
Cant speak for the 18 inch coil but I have the 14 inch ex. coil. In soil (red dirt) I have gotten dimes a little over 10 inches. Went to Atlantic City New Jersey and tried it out on the beach, I found over a dozen Quarters deep, 18-20 inches deep. You ever used the automax v2 pin pointer, they were deeper than that is long. Used relic mode gain on +1 barely audible threshold and go slow, got a repeatable faint hight one beep, id bounced in the silver range with a not sure indication bar. So yes I believe if the ground conditions and the machine settings are right for the ground it is possible to get that depth.

I have the 18 and I would agree with Ray--Although the deepest coin I found with it where I live was 12 in.--But our ground is bad 83-84-In better ground it will go deeper--It does not like a lot of trash-You will like the way it picks up small objects--I am going out tomorrow to check a house built in 1920 in Vancouver Wa.--The house is in the old part of town--that meams it could have been a house before that one----It will be the first coil I will use---Then I will go cross ways with Whites 14 in.---with my luck all I will find is a $20 gold coin (NOT)----------------They do pinpoint a little bit different--(if the Target is shallow)To pinpoint I raise the coil Up about 6-8 in and pinpoint (the same way as any smaller coil)then come straight down and pinpoint again--Others do different than me-doing it that way lets me pinpoint using the X method---DeathWind1
 
Deathwind1 Let me know how the 18in. coil did at the old house would you. Did it miss things(like small coins) that the 14in. didn't? I haven't decided on shelling out $250 on the 18in. yet. Thanks
