at least a version of their 4.5 x 7" DD EXcelerator search coil? The one for the FBS machines is $195 but I don't think it's using the "SEF" technology. The other is an 8x6" SEF (Butterfly) search coil for the FBS machines and is $149. 8x6 seems a little large to me for wanting max separation in a small coil. I'd rather opt for a 3x6 for max separation but the depth of a 6". Still, it's a hard choice between an SEF and a "regular" coil but I'd probably at least want the 4.5x7". That coil might provide even better separation than my 5.5" S-5.
This is probably spitting into the wind but I'll throw it out there. If anybody wants to add their name (handle) to a list I'll write a letter to KellyCo/Detech and see if we can motivate them to at least wind one of the above existing coil sizes for Sovereigns. I think we need to get more active in supporting these aftermarket coils from companies or they might stop making them for the Sovereign all together. Too many people go for the sizzle and not the steak and are opting for detectors with computer screens, so we need to get the word out that the Sovereign has got it where it's at- in performance, and at a much cheaper price.
