I stand corrected ULTIMATE COIL

[Dale]

Hi all,

Call me what you want as I was so wrong about the ultimate coil! a friend of mine jo ross a dw member also uses the same machine as me the Tejon. He has always used the 9 x 8" standard coil, iv nagged and nagged him for months to get the 10 x 12" wide scan that I use, but he was happy with what he was using, anyway he had a offer on a ultimate coil that he could not refuse and went for it brand new, I told him about my previous experiences but Joe being Joe he went for it.
Anyway around mine he came tonight with his massive white coil!
So over my test bed he went with a big smile on his face
he got to the end of the test and passed me the machine and said have a go, I thought in my head I know what this coil can do, so I went to the first target a Vicky penny at 9" it picked it up very easy so a inch above the ground I went then 2 3 4 5 and I still picked it up I laughed as I thought he passed it to me in all metal mode but no the discrim  was set to iron I almost fell over it smashed the test bed and my 10 x 12"
I did a good hour comparing the two coils and all I can say is the ultimate won hands down even over a tiny hammered farthing I had to check it was the farthing I put down not a £1 coin lol it really was that good, what have I walked over

I will never buy a second hand coil ever again you just don't know how they have been treated and mine was obviously damaged, I could only test and comment on the one I was using.

People pay 100's of £'s to gain as little as a inch on a top of the range machine and this coil has really gained inches and clear response inches.

Mike, Chef Geoff sorry you were right its the dogs B*****S!!!

That is the best apology I have ever witnessed...
I'm glad we both have found out its a decent coil and look forward to what this beast can do

[Chef Geoff]

No Problem Dale, it does do some weird things to a machine, as I said in my original field test "the difference in tones and performance is something I wouldn't have believed possible simply by changing a coil" It does "alter" the machine.

[joross]

Very true words Geoff , changing the coil is  probably the biggest upgrade you can do to a machine,it's definitely worked wonders in this case 

[Dale]

Geoff,  I really was amazed at the coil, it was a shock, as I really did think my set up was good in till Joe came around with a working ultimate.

You hear how deep people find hammereds.... how big the fish was what got away
but this coil is deep!

personally i think the ultimate coil is a great coil..but mine packed up in just over a year..and i also know a few others that has.nt really had a very good life span..shame really..

[joross]

That is probably true roman ray,That's why I got a two warranty,and was only £90 brand new from Bulgaria!!!! In my eyes it's worth the money

I love the ultimete 33 from Detech...

here is a vid I made on coils and the extra depth..Its in Portuguese but you can get the drift.....

my ultimate coil is awsome,hits rings at the same depth as my 15'' sef but its a fraction of the weight.ideal on a long night hunt.

[DEADLOCK]

Had my ultimate a while now and no probs. well when they were first introduced going good
