Not one to post much, enjoy the forum though! Just recieved my new Nel Tornado coil for my Atpro. Ive owned the pro now for 3 years plus, got it down pat pretty much. Thanks to Bart at BIGBOYS for the speed delivery on the coil...In a nutshell, works great! Gave it the maiden voyage test run yesterday for 2 hours or so at a 1950s era Jr High school here in town. I wanted to try it there because it has a lot of open fields (soccer, baseball etc) and the trash is a lot less then the tot lots etc. I went over areas i had previously been numerous times. Ive always turned up a few late 40s and 50s wheat pennys and 2 1950s rosies and 1 silver quarter. I found 18 coins (all clad) with one a 1956 wheat penny. A few of the coins came up from 7 plus inches down. No big revelations but the new coil did its job just fine. I ran it one notch down from full sensitivity (seemed to work best ) No unneccessary chatter, pretty crisp signals and pinpointing was no problem. It didnt wear my arm out being a bigger coil,,,the sun and heat wore me out first. All in all , when im in a non trashy area, im keeping this coil on the pro.
