Has anyone used an NEL hunter coil on their T2? I'm thinking of purchasing one to replace the 11 in stock coil it has.

NEL hunter coil on T2
- Thread starter dirt lizard
- Start date
The Hunter coil seems to be ok,but its not all that much bigger than the stock coil is it really,so would the expense outway the slight extra performance,the Tornado coil i can see some advantages ie ground coverage and also some extra depth but the coil is bigger than the stock coil by a reasonable amount so that would warrant the extra outlay but no so sure about the Hunter coil.
I do use larger NEL coil on my T2 and the favourite for a all round performance increase is the Storm coil,not only giving a fair increase in depth but also still sensitive on small targets as well,of course the bigger you go you gain depth but loose the sensitivity.Its all about finding that happy medium

I've dug some deep CW bullets using the Hunter coil. Good luck!

I have also wondered about the performance of the hunter coil. I never see much about it or the shrew.

I used the Hunter religiously on an F75 for a season instead of the stcck coil. There weren’t any cons really but a few pros:
- balance feels a lot better to me. This is subjective, but I find the stock coil throws the ergonomics off for me. I’m finding the same thing on a new Patriot.
- tad bit more depth. Maybe an inch at best but tends to give cleaner vdi readings at same depths of the stock coil
- Less prone to EMI. On my F75 this was quite noticeable.
It was the coil that stayed on the F75 the most. I sold it with the F75 to finance a start-up, but now plan on purchasing it again.

Well it's going to either be a hunter or a Mars tiger coil.
