Hi, all new posting hear, Have a question about the "EX" coils......

Been using the MXT for 5 months now relic hunting and positively love the "Mixed Mode". Can't wait till the fall to get it in the woods and give it a good work out. Was considering buying a 12" or 14" "EXcelerator" coil for better ground coverage and a little more depth in open areas. My question is, Do the "Ex" coils being a DD design perform better/quieter in mineralized ground ( ground reading of mid 70's to lower 80's) versus the stock 9.5 coil? I use the 6x10 mainly on my machine because of its trash separation and bad ground performance in the spots I'm hunting now, but found the 9.5 will go deeper in good ground. Basically what I wanted was better coverage but similar performance depth as the stock coil. Also has anyone tried the "Ex" coils on the beach (Va Beach and the Carolina's to be specific) Thanks all.

Adam, I can't attest to the performance of the EXcelerator coils at VA Beach. But it is a fact that DD coils perform better in highly mineralized soil than the concentric coils. The EXcelerator coils are DD wound, and the 9.5 is concentric. From the experience I have had with the EXcelerators, you will definitely get better coverage and better depth with the 12.5 or the 14 inch coils than you do with the 9.5 stock concentric. HH

If you go to VA beach with this coil, take a shovel! I found coins 18-19 inches deep. Run the gain on about 10. relic mode. ground balancing is the key to a smooth running machine. I finally got it down but not in the same manner they describe in the manual. I had to raise the machine then turn it on and slowly lower it to the ground and if it got noise repeat the above steps, I keep the disc on 2 and a barely hunning threshold and swwep slow enuff to keep the trheshold smooth and dig all high tone beeps . The deep coins I dug did not give an ear blasting beep but definatly a repeatable beep and they were deeper than my automaxII pin pointer is long. If you like the stock coil you'll love the excellerators, I have the 5 and 14 and would not have anything else. To each his own but they work for me.

As far as depth in dirt the 14 will get 3-4 inches deeper than the stock, runs smoother does a good job in trash. There have been some bad ones sold, Kellyco is super about replacing a faulty coil, for this reason they get trashed every chance someone gets but the still beat the comp. hands down. I met a guy in new jersey with a dfx and stock coil who was also tecting, I got himm to sweep over one of them deep hits I got and he couldn't touch it, after I finally dug up the deep quarter he got real interested in white coil.
