Default anyone use the 5" Excaliber Coil??

I have a few really trashy sites that i am having difficulty with because of the larger coils I use , has anyone used the 5 inch and are you happy with it? I have a MXT and I like the 12.5 Excaliber a lot but would like to hear from a MXT user with the 5 inch, Curt

Hello Curt,
I know JohnWpa uses one on his Explorer II and loves it.
He'll see this post and give you his feedback I'm sure.

He's probably out partying after that big Steelers win

Hi Curt,

Never heard of an Excaliber coil but thinking you mean the Excelerator coil.
I have the Excelerator 5" coil on a Minelab Advantage and all i can can say is it is a great coil for depth and target separation. I posted on Minelab detectors at this site about my experience with the 5" EXcelerator and have nothing but praise for it as i look for goodies in trashy environments. Hope this helps and correct in my assesment of the coil. HH Bill

Default thanks

I did mean excelerator!! I have a whites 5.3 but I think I need something even smaller for a couple of real trashy parks I detect, one is 150 years old and I know of two people finding silver in it and was hoping that a smaller coil would give me an advantage, excelerator claimes 9 inches for the 5" coil I think this would be a great depth for a small coil.
