5.3 Eclipse or 5 in. Excelerator?

[jcooking]

I am looking to get a smaller accessory coil for my Whites M6. My main hobby is coin/jewelry hunting. Does anyone know the difference between the two regarding depth and target separation? Also, is the 5 in. Excelerator coil a cocentric design or DD design? Thanks to anyone that can help!

In very heavy trash the 5" EXcelerator will give you better target separation from almost every angle and should respond to more targets especially using 0 disc. The 5.3 Eclipse should provide better target id on deeper targets but will suffer a bit more from masking if trash is too heavy. The 5" EXcelerator is a DD coil. HH Bill

The 5" private Kellyco Labeled Excelerator Coil is a double D so the Left to Right Separation is better than the White's 5.3 Eclipse which is a concentric design.

Both loops have their advantages.

The White's 5.3 Eclipse Concentric
* Depth Advantage
* Quieter under power lines
* Will Tag Good Targets under bad ones better

Excelerator 5"
* Double D smooths the mineral more
* Smallest Footprint, an advantage in trashy areas
* Increased Sensitivity on small jewelry.

Also: My Choice however would be the White's 4x6 Shooter. If you want a 9" Window, with the MOST sensitive hit on targets, the Jimmy Sierra Hot Foot, a 2x9" and HOT on the Tip... you can also use the tip as a pin pointer in most plug.

5.3 Eclipse for general hunting applications. But I like the 5" Double-D (wide scan) Excelerator coil for the nastiest of trash environments.

The 5.3 Eclipse is a 6
