NEL Snake search coil on a metal detector stem

Overview

NEL's best coil for beaches. It combines sharp target separation with good ground coverage for its size on sites littered with iron and metal trash.

Its elongated shape separates non-ferrous targets from iron very well. It is light and agile, with good sensitivity to small targets. Use it as an additional coil. On request, NEL can make it with a cable up to 3 m long.
