Many of the long-time Fisher people that have been around here awhile always asked/ wished for DD coils. Well, I had heard the name "Excellerator" coils before & I think KellyCo sold them at one time. I always thought they were just for like Minelab's & Whites, but apparently this European made, large DD coil was made for X-series Fishers for a short time too. There's still a website for Excellerator coils, but the Fisher portion is now blank so I bet they are no longer made unfortunately for X-series fans. I imagine they are pretty rare as Mr. Bill & I are always on the lookout for different Fisher coils, & never saw this one. We got the rare elipticals & the tiny snipers, both no longer made.
Well, I have been testing it out on my 1270 and it really is a killer coil. A little huge @ about 13" for trashy or DIV hunting, but for fields & stuff deep as heck! In my test bed I can lift it up a few more inches off the ground & hear things clearly still. In disc mode with a fixed ground balance too!
With all the fancy target ID features and lighter weight units favored now, we forget just how deep units like the 1270 are. I'll have to put it head to head against a 10.5" Fisher spyder coil next and see what happens. It's lighter than the big spyders so I may not need both anymore.....
