"In Memory of"
For wide-open areas, such as a beach, plowed field, or out in some open and sparse-target grass, I grab my Apex #2 with their 'Raider' 8½X11 DD, and it works fine. For all of my general-use, day-to-day hunting, I work my main-use Apex with their 'Ripper' 5X8 DD which is an idea-size coil for most places, even with ow-to-moderate debris to deal with, and it is working great!
And then I have Apex #3 at-the-ready for places with really dense debris, especially a lot of ferrous junk and places with an abundance of discarded, scattered Iron Nails. Old and abandoned ghost towns associated with the Railroad, Mining and early Ranching & Farming era where conditions can be very challenging, and for those applications I have relied on smaller-size coils since early 1969. Thus, that Apex sports the NEL 5" 'Sharp' DD coil, and so far it, too, is working fine.
So I m wondering how many Apex users have also opted for the 5" NEL DD? What have been your experiences with that coil and performance afield?
And I'll add that I have used Garrett's 4½" Concentric coil on a Scorpion Gold Stinger, GTP-1350, GTI-2500 and I borrowed an AT MAX to use one on that model. I really liked the performance of that coil with some of the Garrett models and really wish Garrett made a good 4½" Concentric for the Apex.
Anyone have any comments or opinions regarding that coil? I know that while I am getting good performance with the 5" NEL DD, I'd gladly swap it out and mount a 4½" Concentric on that Apex. I can only hope Garrett produces that coil for the new Apex.
