Anyone using the nel sharpshooter coil on there Eurotek pro? How is it compared to the stock 8" coil? Is the 8 deeper or the nel? I know the nel would be better in smaller and trashier areas. Thinking about picking one up.

Ok great! Is that the 5" nel sharp or the 9x5 nel sharpshooter DD coil?

Sweet! Thanks 
This thread is some what confusing,and what i mean by that is in the header you are showing it as a 5'' Nel Sharpshooter and that part of it is the wrong description.NEL make a 5'' coil which is called a Sharp and also a SharpShooter which is 9.5''x5.5'' and these are totally different coils.
So i will try and give a verdict on part of your question,if you are asking regarding the Sharpshooter coil then in my mind its one of the best coils that i have ever used albeit not on a ETP but on a standard T2.It ticks all the boxes in terms of being very light,great target seperation and i think it enhances the tones and TID much better.
If you are on about the 5'' Sharp coil then i cannot comment on that coil,but if its anything like the small 5'' T2 coil then its like a laser beam on the end of the rod,great for trashy sites but not a depth monster,and certainly would not be as deep as the 8'' stock coil that you are on about.
Of course these are only my opinions based on the confusing opening post.

When he mentioned 5'' and also Nel Sharpshooter i did not know what he was talking about,certainly confused here.
He mentions 2 completely different NEL coils does he not,so basically it could have been one or the other.
Also in one of the open posters other posts he also was slightly lost as he was also not sure and i quote.

so which one is better vs the stock coil? which one would you use everyday for hunting in parks, old homes and street curbs? sharp, sharpshooter or the stock 8"?

I should have said the solid hockey puck looking coil or the bigger dd one. Lol I just know one is a sharp and one is a sharpshooter. Trying to figure out the better of the 2 for the Eurotek pro. I too was thinking the sharp wouldn't be as deep as the stock 8" cause it's a smaller coil.
On my F2 (similar to the ETP) the Sharpshooter does not give increased depth over the 8" concentric. It does, however, give better separation (sure, it's a DD). In trashy areas, the NEL SS shines. But mine doesn't get any deeper, just a better footprint. Think wider detection as deep as the center of the cone of a concentric. It pinpoints great for a DD.
As far as the 5" NEL, I have the puck for the F2 by Fisher, and wouldn't waste the money. If I didn't have the Fisher puck, I would get the NEL 5", just for the build factor and the better cable.
The Sharpshooter is a little large for getting curbs and close to metal sources, but does do better than the concentric 8". Much better, IMO.

Since the OP said 5" and then called it a Sharpshooter, I didn't know which coil he meant. The NEL 5" is a Sharp (concentric). The Sharpshooter is 5.5X10.5" DD.
I own the latter. But my F2 "puck" pales in comparison to the Sharpshooters ability to carve out close peices together "and" depth. And depth seemed to be his concern. You do have to do the merry go round act when you find many things together. I would not recomend it for say the Ace 250 for that purpose, because of the slower recovery speed. But the F2 is fast like a Tesoro. And I believe the EuroTek may be a tad faster.
Your milage may vary.

I just based my comments on what is available, regardless of the name.
Neon out if the hobby for awhile, I wasn't aware of NEL. After looking at their website, it was obvious there only two choices:
- DD coil
- Puck, as I call it, aka concentric.
The uses and functions haven't changed, even though I've been away. I would prefer a DD
COIL for 80% of congested matrix coin shooting. The small "pucks" are quite good at target where depth isn't a concern. But, with their abysmal ground coverage, I've found them to be very site-specific. Giving priority to utility, I'd take the DD. Get a puck later.

I see that now...Bucksport said:
But I'm sticking with the crappy coverage such coils give as reason to make them your second choice.
Now you've got me curious, though. What do you want the ETP to do that your other units aren't doing? Looking at the list you have most casual detecting covered. I'd consider going the other way - get the largest coil possible and make it a DEEP DETECTOR.
PS I once had one of those Whites Classics like you have, and with the relatively cheap 5" coil, it made a great sniper.

Casual detecting pretty much describes my hunting style perfectly. 99% of my hunting is in urban trashy areas also. Just a humble coin shooter.dahut said:
The Eurotek to me is very simple, and keeps it fun. When I desire depth in my hunting areas it can deliver.
The small coils have always treated me well. I have a snooper coil for my White's, but I still would like to have the 6" coil to make a perfect setup. I also need to send the machine away to have a GB control added.
Along that same thought, I really want to try out the new Bounty Hunter Land Ranger Pro. It has ground balance
I see no sense in having just one machine. Having a few good machine keeps it fresh for me.
