Ordered the Ultimate 13" coil for my Gold Bug Pro on Sept. 2. Kellyco said they were shipping it and then emailed to say it was back ordered. They don't have any idea when they are going to get more only that they have them ordered. If I ever get it, I'll be sure and report how it works for me.

Hey Tom,
I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting the coil to you. I received an email from the manufacturer on 9/27 saying they were shipping out to us on Monday (yesterday).
In a perfect world, barring any issues with customs we should have them beginning of next week. It looks like we are going to have all the coils to cover any back-orders and then some. When it comes to the SEF coils its best to just give us a shout to see what we have in stock, they go real fast and then take forever to get here... Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions.
Also, if you guys don't mind, if you happen to know anyone or see someone on the forums that has run into any issues Kellyco related please feel free to throw my name out there and my contact info. I am here to help you guys out however I can, I really appreciate every ones help!

Good Luck... I ordered mine on 3-19, as it "was in stock and ready to ship" after a week or two I called and spoke to someone else who told me that didnt have any and wasnt sure when they were coming in. I canceled and ordered it off ebay. Took 2 weeks but I got it. Kellyco invoiced me yesterday for the canceled order, so they must have them.

It's a great coil, you'll love it, it's just frustrating having to deal with the people that have to buy it from...
Got mine friday and finally had a chance to try it today. Great coverage, pinpoints well and in my test area has a slight edge in depth over the stock coil. Also, it runs very stable in my soil and very little EMI trouble. Found a nice button at an 1800's home set on a short hunt today. The button says "Waterbury" on the back.
Received the Ultimate 13" coil today. Air test shows about 1" increase in depth over the Fisher 11" coil on higher conductive targets like a dime and a quarter. On the lower conductive nickel and large gold ring, the increase was 2". I was testing in the garage and EMI only allowed me to run the gain at 80 with both coils. I weighed both the 11" coil with a lower rod and the Ultimate with an identical lower rod, results show the Ultimate weights 5.4 ounces more than the Fisher coil, 17.4 oz. vrs. 22.8 oz.. Though the Ultimate coil is a 13" diameter coil, it has a dip in both the front and back edges so lengthwise it only measures about 11" between these dips and the coil detects at depth only between these two points. At first glance, I thought the coil would only detect about the same length of coverage as the stock 11" coil but testing shows that the 11" coil doesn't detect at depth out to the ends of the coil either and it only actually detects at depth over about a 9" length, so a guess you still get about an additional 2" of coverage on each swing. It doesn't sound like much but it's about a 20% increase. I bought this coil because I thought it may work out to be a great coil for dry sand beach hunting. I have to wait a couple of weeks to give it a true field test. Stay Tuned.
