Hi has anybody used the 10" x 14" Eq2 Elliptical coil on the , Explorer II .
Was just wondering how good they are for depth and stability on land or the beach .
I have the chance of getting one for very little money
Your thoughts please will be very much appreciated
Not used one of those coils myself but the most popular options are the SEF12x10,15x12 and the Ultimate coil as they are more stable than the stock coil and slightly deeper as well.Of course the trade off is that they can be heavier as well.
The SEF12x10 seems to be a compromise as in extra depth,ground coverage but without the massive weight that can make them nose heavy.Of course you can like me use a harness and then of course you dont notice the weight.
Equinox 6'',11'' and 15'' coils.
Deus 2 9'' coil.
Minelab GPX 14'' and 18'' Coiltek coils.
Fisher TW-5 twin box.
Nexus MP 13'' coil.
Nexus SE dual 9'' coil.
Whites TDI Pro 20'' coil.
If its a bargain i would buy it anyway, i haent tried one, ive used the SEF12x10 and the NEL Tornado 12x13, for depth the Tornado comes first, pinpointing is quicker with the SEF tho.
Keep us informed
