5" EXcelerator Search coil

[aval]

Happy New Year to all. Has any one use this coil? I am thinking on buying one. I am using a 10.5 inch coil on my explorer II SE. I have had some good results with this coil but feel I am missing some of the targets.

Don't know about the Excelerator but I have managed to pluck some $ between the junk with a Sun Ray 5" Stealth on my EC2

Hey Aval. I just went out this morning with my 5" coil & this is what I found.

A small kids ring that came in like a penny. 1-2"

Bullet, (unknown to me as of yet, but I think is Civil War era),came in good, about 4-5".

2 wheaties - being cleaned - both were 5-6" deep. I'm impressed.

And a bunch of pennies, 2 nickles, 7 dimes & a quarter, all clad.

I love it for trashy areas. I'm still evaluating it. I just got it, myself. Also getting the 8" coil, but it is on back order.

I use the 5" excel. on my explorer II & it works great in trash area ,u have 2 keep the coil low & go real slow. I really think its a great coil, u dont even need 2 use pinpoint, & u get nice depth. GOOD HUNTING & GOOD LUCK. GG

Thanks for the info. The bullet sure looks like a civil war bullet. I believe it is call a 3 ringer or ringer. My friend in Saratoga , NY has found several of them.

Where did you get your 4 x 7.5 coil

I use the stock and the Sun-Ray X-5. They both have their place for use. The X-5 coil works the trash infested areas and under low brush easier. One of the best things I done with the X-5 is mounted the coil on another lower carbon shaft with the next up center shaft. I hated working the connector and coiled cord through the shaft, so now I just disconnect the connector and shaft at the unit head and in goes the coil and shaft for the other coil. I don't know about anyone else but this was a problem solving issue for me. Now I can hit an area with the stock coil, walk back to my vehicle for a quicker coil switch to the X-5 to work the trashies if necessary. I once worked along a creek where the trees along the edge had the roots in and above ground. The smaller coil allowed me to work in some of the roots. Found a few trails that crossed the creek where people will hop the rocks and/or just across the water. Found more hits in these areas that paid off. Check the crossings in the water if possible and along the trails. A good bit of goodies had collected in the tree roots for years. I couldn't get all the signals because some of the roots were too narly and I did not want to cut any roots. Anyway I did good, thanks to the X-5 coil..... Good Luck

I just got an Excelerator 5" coil and went out once two days ago. It is cold up here in WI and I froze for 40 minutes. I went over an area that I hit hart with an 8" coil and found a 1919D wheaty in there. It was pretty muddy, so I did not hunt long, but I feel that I will find targets that I missed previously with other coils in trashy areas.

Greetings aval,
I have the 5" excelerator coil and use it in trashy areas with great success. The 10 1/2" will not preform well in heavy trash, to many signals mask those good signals that are really close to trash. The 5" excelerator will pick those signals out. Happy Hunting Grounds,

The wife ordered me the 4.5x7 for Christmas and was told they are on Backorder from Germany, and were expected in the 2nd week in January. A little disheartening since the weather has been so good here lately. Will probably turn cold the day it arrives.....

I have both the 5 inch and the 4x7 and I like the 4x7 best. Really good around tree roots, brush and close places - I haven't used the 5 since I got the 4 x 7 so I'll probably sell it.
