Cool video, what does a coil like that cost?

Come on man the coil is 15" for a start so of course a bigger coil is going to go deeper then the standard coil no question. That would be a great coil to cover alot of flat ground like beaches and old farm lands / grass fields and parks. I would buy a coil like that for sure. Anyone used the 12x9 concentric coil from Garrett? Depth any good? I prefer the DD coils vs mineralization here in Australia. I'm guessing the Nel 15" coil is DD right?
Found this have a read!! 20" depth on a three ringer WOW!

I was able to get out to a civil war site yesterday, and I have some results using the new NEL BIG for the Garrett AT PRO.

I first hit a field that I have hit before just to test everything out on some open land. I was running in PRO 0. Iron discrim at 28. Sensitivity was one bar from wide open.

I started swinging and could tell I liked the ground coverage right away, and the extra weight of was not to bad. I walked about 50 feet and I got a 82-84 on the vdi at a depth of 10+. I'm thinking oh yeah!!!!!! A silver dime that everyone has either missed or couldn't get a reading since it was so deep. So I dig about an 8 inch hole.. Scanned the hole... It was still in the hole. Funny thing is now the vdi changed to 68 and stayed on 68 with every swing. So I dug some more, and more, using my pro pointer at this point to see if I was close. Still digging, and digging. At this point my hope was kinda lost as I though it was probably a huge piece of iron. Then with my arm all the way in the hole scraping out the loose dirt I see it. A civil war 3 ringer no less than 20 inches deep. This is by far the deepest bullet I have every dug in my life.

The max I have ever dug a civil war bullet was maybe 12 inches, so to say I was shocked was an under statement.

I will say that I am VERY impressed with the depth of this coil / garrett combo, but I also must add.. If you have back or shoulder problems this may not be the coil for you. Lol. After 4 or so hours of swinging it I was ready for a little break.


Going to attach a picture trying to show how deep that one bullet was. I'm standing on the solid ground, and I have my predator tools piranha in the hole to help visualize the depth.

I hope this helps some that may be on the fence about purchasing one.
