EXPL II vs 18" Excelerator coil

[Jan CZ]

Hello gentlemen,

my friend used his Expl II with standard coil and decided to buy 18" Excel. one. I was hunting with him so I saw he lost the depth and sensitivity on small itmes. Is it normal when bigger depth is declared using this huge coil? Isn't there any different setting for this coil in comparison with standard size?
I would appreciate all comments and advices, thanks in advance.

Your soil mineralization plays a huge part in how big of a coil is too big. I have a 15 inch WOT coil for my Explorer. Alot of places it is deeper than the stock. But, there are a few sites I go to it doesn't seem to be any deeper. If anything it loses deep slightly. At 18 inches that coil is looking at alot of ground below it. Some people mainly use bigger coils to cover ground quickly where targets aren't dense.

Thanks Bill and J.W. for your info, I passed it to my friend...
It looked strange when he was not able to find aluminium part of German gas mask at the field in depth cca 20cm....
