NEL selling AT Pro coils

[grumpysrb]

NEL is selling larger coils for the ATP. The largest is a 15" x 17" called the AT Pro "BIG". You can view them on the NEL site and on Ebay.

Have only heard one person using the BIG, and he says he found a CW Bullet at 19 inches.

I may have to order one myself.

I know a fella that has got one waiting on results from him as well Kinda interested in the weight of it and how long you can swing it !! I know using thestock cil was tough after about three hours of slow swinging

 

[grumpysrb]

The nel site says the weight for the 15x17DD and 15 concentric is 999.99gr. or 2.2lbs.

 

[BarryL]

Wow that dont seem to bad for sure

 

[mcgov51]

BarryL your stock 8.5 X 11 weighs 1.06 lbs
My 15" NEL Attack weighs 1.66 lbs
That NEL Big weighs 2.22 lbs

That's a lot to swing.

I know guys twice my size who can't swing the stock coil
for 3 hours on the beach.

 

[BarryL]

Makes my Back hurt! Think I will stick with my 5x8 and stock coil

 

[Jedi]

That's pretty incredible depth. I probably would have gave up on the target after digging more than a foot.

 

[grumpysrb]

Doesn't seem like a coil I'd like to swing all the time. But at select locations may be a valuable tool.

5" x 8" vs the NEL Sharpshooter, any thoughts?

 

[grumpysrb]

The NEL sharpshooter Ia slightly larger and a bit more expensive. I don't believe the performance would be much, if any, greater than the Garrett coil.

 

[mcgov51]

I chose the 15' Attack ( 1.66 Lbs. ) over the 15" X 17" BIG ( 2.22 Lbs ) because
1) The obvious weight savings AND
2) The sweet spot on both coils is exactly the same.

A 15" footprint is going to be hard enough to swing and keep stable. I got it for a
very clean and large salt water beach in my area. Hope ? to use it on some of the
dried out wet slope ? Might not be possible ? Dry sand use should be no problem.

My 15" Attack came damaged by the postman and I am awaiting its replacement
from the Ukraine. They ship them in shallow empty boxes ( no padding ).
$35.25 to send it back . . . talk about that later.

Are they replacing it for free, minus the shipping costs? I'd be interested to know if they begin packing them better too. I had planned to order one in the future.

Who or what is NEL?

[Johnho]

Google NEL Coils and it will pop up.

 

[Robert2300]

Oh yea. I remember them now.
I thought we were not supposed to mention them
on the forum, or was it were not supposed to
put their website in out posts? I don't remember
which now. Why do they have such a bad
reputation?

[Johnho]

Not aware they have a bad reputation but if what you say is the case I suspect it has to do with them not being a sponsor here. I have seen that before but there is no reason I see why we can't talk about them here. I decided to order the Attack coil for my Pro and awaiting deliver now for it. Now some people say they are not much better than stock coils but I have seen tests on other forums where the claims of increased depth for the Pro are pretty impressive.

 

[mcgov51]

grumpysrb - The cost to ship back hasn't been discussed yet. I was in a hurry to
get it back to them so they could replace it ASAP. I am pressed for time.
Depth ? Who knows ? I doubt that I will get 16" - 18" AirTesting my coinage set.
But . . . if I do ? I will report it either way.

8 X 5 DD = *9" - 11" ish
8.5 X 11 DD = *12" - 14" ish
15" Attack DD = ??? 16" - 18" ish ??? I really don't think so but . . . I would certainly
welcome a surprise . . . I am overdue.

 

[grumpysrb]

I haven't been on the forums very long, but haven't heard anyone talking bad about NEL. Did I miss something?

 

[grumpysrb]

NEL's website is a bit confusing. They show 6 coils for the ATP 2 named the Attack, and they are the same size and weight, but $15 difference in price.

 

[Johnho]

One has a longer cable than the normal length. Seems someone wanted a longer one and they have that listed now. Must have been a giant with an extended machine.
