Was time for a new coil for my F70 at 9 years old
The Nel Hunter is about the same price point as a Fisher DD and a coil cover.
No weight difference I can feel and the build quality seems top notch.
One thing I notice right away is there is a stop that prevents the coil to lay flat forward which is what I need for my soft carry bag.
I tested in yard and seems to be spot on, might gain just a little depth and separation is clear and crisp.
I will hit some well pounded sites this summer and see if I pull more targets, should be fun.
Picture next to my Patriot for comparison.
I camo wrap grips and put screen savers on all my machines.

I like NEL search coils but I have only used the SharpShooter. The center rod attachment point makes for a better balance and makes it easier to push the coil down into to grass if need be.

Nice looking coil but the fisher 11 dd works flawlessly on that machines ,light ,fast and deep..from all stock setups I’ve used fisher is the one that nailed it with that stock coil.

That Fisher DD served me well but was wore out. I almost got another but thought I have a new Patriot with a fresh DD, the Nel was a good choice on my F70 to compare in the field for fun.
