First Silver in O7 with a new 6 inch Excelerator

I got out today in the 26 degree temps and just had to try this new DD 6 inch Excelerator coil. Its a full 6 inches and 3/4 inch thick and weighs 14.5 oz. with cover. I managed to dig this 1898 Barber half from 4 inched deep. Its a rough one but I'll take a half anyday :) The area was a scraped out driveway at the University. I also found a few memorials and a couple clad dimes in the piles along the drive. It was just too darn cold as I forgot my gloves of all things! The SE worked great as did the coil. Hopefully I can make it to the park tomorrow to see how this coil does in the heavy trash.
 
I've been pondering buying one.

and/or the new 4x7 DD. I've had the 5" excelerator for awhile and never felt it could do much better than the 8"; though I think others would disagree.

Chris,
I still use the 8 inch concentric as it does a great job in medium trash and gets great depth. In my ground the depth was better with the Concentric then the DD stock coil. The one thing I didn't like is the concentric is a heavier coil. Also, if you are an avid Explorer user, switching to the concentric is different in pinpointing. I always just drop my signal off the front of the coil when using a DD coil. With the concentric you will be using the pinpoint function button. The 4.5x7 coil is a darn good coil too. Good depth and seperation.
 
I got it late in the season and the ground was froze, but still gave it a quick try. I was impressed at how well this coil will work. I had done a field test for a concentric for the Sovereign a couple of summers ago and I was super impressed with it as it got deep and separated coins my Explorer missed, so I had to try one for the Explorer.
I tried something with this 8 inch concentric on the Explorer SE and put in a pattern with just the top right open and did a gravel parking lot with a lot of pull tabs in it and this coil run so smooth and I could swing a lot faster then normal too and locked right on to the coins and a couple of pull tabs too.When spring get here I want to give it a real try out and let James give it a try too.
If you can get out before us I can send it to you Chris so you can see what it will do for you.

I'm not sure as this one was sent out for fieldtesting to me and I don't believe they have them in stock yet. I will have to call and find out. I know the boss is gone till Monday so I will call then for more info.
 
You sure wanted to get out for a while and test that Coil out for sure. That Barber Half made it all worth while even if you did freeze your hands a bit. I would have done the same thing if I had the same results. Hope you have more great Luck with that Coil in the Spring and Good Luck and HH to you. :detecting:
