Eurotech Pro surprized me

[BarryL]

Recently traded for it and did some air test and such but I am not high on airtest results . Anyway decided to take it out and give it a try today at a local park . Set Sens at 10 and disc at 35 volume at 11 Started sweeping the coil and I was impressed on how quiet the machine was not chatty or anything . Id'd very well as I was just testing it anyway and dug a few solid signals even with the numbers jumping a couple of digits just to see if it was Iding them close and I must say the Id was spot on Depth was really close most targets were within an inch of being correct every time . It does like them smashed twist tops but if you listen real close and check target from all directions it will give you that slight grunt on them . For the price they are selling for I have to agree with a few others it may be a keeper for a nice backup and for other people to use when I get a hunting partner LOL. usually have to go by myself. Also Id's Iron very well . Light easy swinging only issue I have with it is the pin point tone is really irritating so I found Myself not using it but just x-ing my targets . Now this is with the 8 inch coil so cant complain about the coil. I would like to try one of the 9.5 NEL coils for it just for fun could be killer machine will the F2 coils work on this machine cause I would like to get a small hocky puck style coil as well Found a lot of Headstamps an a old Lipstick tube made of copper and about 9.00 in Clad and one 1926 wheat cent it was about 8 inches deep Ill stop rambling now . except for I almost sold it as I had it listed for trade and then told myself I did not give it a chance because when I picked it up at first I said this thing is like a Toy but I admit I was wrong I think it found a home

F2 coil will work but depth is limited and ID is off. It's not worth it.

I have been hounding First Texas for a few years about making a 4" concentric coil for the Greek line. If they made them, they would sell for sure.

I would jump on that in a min

Makes me want to start a petition. It would eliminate the need to message Dave J every few months requesting them to build it
I would even settle for a concentric 5" coil

Congrats on your decision , I would like to have a 4"er myself !

The F2 is a 5.9 KHZ and the ETP is 7.8 khz so you need a coil from a Fisher F5 or Teknetics Greek coils. ETP is a keeper !

I just bought a Gamma 6000 with the 8" round concentric coil. Yesterday I put on the 4" X 6" elliptical concentric I have for my F75 LTD. It worked great. ID was accurate for all the segments and the TID # was the same as the F75, Depth reading accuracy was as good as the F75. Performance depthwise wasn't as good as the 8" stock coil which is to be expected. In hunting the perimeter of a really trashy basketball court the little elliptical was picking the pepper out of the fly squat.

I also tried the 11" Biaxial, 10" elliptical concentric and the 5" DD from the F75. These were as accurate as the small elliptical. I was planning on buying a new 5" Tek DD for the Greek series or a NEL Sharp. Now I don't have to. I think I'll get a 5 X 10 Tek DD.

ArizFlash, good info to know. I assume that is the 6.5" factory elliptical coil you are talking about?

Yes it is the little football shaped coil 6 1/2" concentric. Just got back from a quick park hunt. I used the little elliptical again as well as the 11" biaxial. Both worked like a charm.
