ID Excel vs ID Edge

[wayne_etc]

Hey folks,

How would you compare performance of these two machines? I originally thought they were the same machine with the addition of the notches on the Edge. Info I found on frequency is that they differ by .5khz. Is that why the Edge and C$ can use the same coils?
Any input on such factors as depth, target separation, handling tough ground, or any other differences of these two machines would be appreciated.

Wayne,I have owned and used both metal detectors,but this doesn't make me an expert.With my limited use I liked the ID Excel better.The Excel doesn't air test well but I have found silver dimes at depths of 6 inch plus.Both units are slower to pinpoint with than most metal detectors.A plus for the Edge it breaks down nice and can be hip mounted if the coil cord is long.Jack in Texas could probably give you good advice on these units.

Wayne the Excel coil for coil handles the flat rusting iron and rotting tin cans a bit better. Other than that they both have excellent response/recovery with the depth advantage going to the Edge as it should be given the price difference. Depth in Georgia clay from what I have heard is good.

The Excel in Virginia red clay was a great nickle unit every 10 on the ID was the same target.This unit worked better in clay than the normal ground conditions.Its a great unit.
