Would like to hear from someone that has used the NEL Sharpshooter coil on the F-19.-----How do you like the performance. etc. of the SS compared to the FT 7X11" stock coil?-----Any input I could get on this coil (Sharpshooter) being used on the F-19 would be much appreciated.

F-19, Gold Bug Pro and Teknetics G2+ are all same detectors. I have owned them all, but have never used a Sharpshooter coil. If you plan on buying one of the detectors I would recommend the F-19 or G2+. The Gold Bug has less options but costs a lot more. The Gold Bug is loud and has no volume control.
Thanks for your response.----I already own the F-19.

I own 3 Sharpshooter coils, the first was for the T2 which allowed me to detect quarters right next to a chain link fence. I later purchased one for an Omega 8000 because I was happy and impressed with the first. The third, I got for a new Patriot recently for a price I couldn't refuse and it has replaced the stock 7x11 on it too because the toe of the coil is so sharp. In my opinion, this causes better separation than adjustments to recovery speed. The coil for the Omega works on my F19 and Gold Bug and I have messed around testing the Sharpshooter on them and they work very well on them too but I think the stock 5x9 Fisher coil that came on my F19 is even better.
I use the 7x11 sometimes when the chance of having multiple targets close together are not as likely and EMI not as big a problem. As always, this is just one person's opinion.

The nice thing about the f5 was you could turn down gain and adjust sensitivity to make your foot print smaller when next to fences or other other objects. Good hunter not the best very decent though.
Del, I might have a NEL Hunter coil that might fit the F19, I am attaching a picture of the coil connector

Do you still use the F19 once in a while? If so, how do you like it's performance?

I'm currently using a G2+ and I recently got a original Goldbug which does not have the vco tone. I've seen where people think these are not deep machines but I can't tell any difference. I've dug some deep targets. They are light weight and easy to use. Only downside is battery life seems short. I've been using rechargables in mine. I post my finds on the G2/Goldbug link.
