both coils are great for the explorer series....either one works great, the ultimate hits hard on silver but when conditions get bad the 12 x 10 sef show how well it actually does work.
Is the Explorer series dead?
I always watch this forum to see if anyone is still using the Explorer or one of its variants. My question is...Who is using the Detech 12x10 SEF coil and what are your results over the Pro coil? I have an Explorer SE with the Pro coil that I like to use from time to time and the Equinox 600...www.findmall.com
In very dry conditions , I put a 12 x 10 on the stick....under normal conditions the ultimate works well but the separation of targets still goes to the 12 x 10.
And every detector has a perfect matching coil that seems to outperform all others...it takes time in the field to find the right one for yourself.
Not only do you have to know your detector, you have to know what the coil is telling you while swinging over a good target.
Again, I lean towards the 12 x 10 for best results in any condition.
