Hope the weather allows you to get out there. Looking forward to your review of the Xcel II coil....I'm currently weighing larger coils than the pro stock 11in coil (ruined mine 2 yrs ago ) and i need something able to run a little deeper than the detech sef 8 x 6 currently in use. As much as I love the 8x 6, I got really used to the feel and tid of the pro 11 inch. Just a little more depth for relic hunting in fields and woods.....HH

I will make a post about how it did im going to hit a old cellar area should find some deeper items.

Hello friends i want to let everyone know that the 13 inch excellerator 2 coil operated awesome at the old cellar hole . I was useing Coin/jewlery mode with manual sensativity 18 but i did notice a little falseing so i backed it down to 16 and that helped alot.The depth was amazing at least 2 inches more but unfortunately there wasnt any amazing finds from the area. So i left and stopped at a older ballfield and with in 10 minutes i had a signal vdi 39 high tone and Deep! I dug at least 10 to 12 inches down! And pulled out a 1826 large cent! Man was i excited to see that and that proved to me that the coil goes deeper or as deep as the stock fbs coil.

Sasquache, great to read your positive feedback on the xcel ll... Would be interesting to see how different the tid returned on familiar targets differ in comparison to pro 11 ". I know I've had to remap my brain since replacing the pro 11' with the detech sef 8x 6...I was surprised to see the LC read as high as 39 ...were you hunting in high trash mode ?

I was shocked myself on the 39 i was in coin/ jewlery plus in manual 16 on the sensitivity.
