So...I'd like to upgrade my coil on my AT Pro. Looking for something that will work better than stock in trashy homesite type areas. I was looking at the NEL coils but wondered about a couple things...
Are the NEL coils superior to the Garrett coils? Or any other alternative brand coils?
When I'm looking at specs. it shows that for example the NEL Hunter is:
7/10 - Depth
9/10 - Separation
9/10 - Small target sensitivity
The NEL Sharpshooter is:
6/10 - Depth
9.5/10 - Separation
9.5/10 - Small target sensitivity
So what does that really mean real world and compared to the stock coil? I mean is .5 difference really that much and worth losing the depth choosing the Sharpshooter over the Hunter? And how much depth are we actually talking about?
To complicate the decision more, you also have the Thunder which gives more depth than the other two but only suffers a tiny bit in separation and small target sensitivity:
8.5/10 - Depth
9/10 - Separation
8.5/10 - Small target sensitivity
Thoughts? Main goals, like many people (at least east of the Mississippi), is old coins and Civil War relics.
