NEL Tornado search coil on a metal detector stem

Overview

NEL's best-known coil and the "golden mean" for coins, hoards and relics on historical battlefields and anywhere else.

It is extremely light for its size, only 560 g, and with such a moderate load you can search all day. With a slow sweep it responds very well to large and medium targets, as well as small ones — under 1 g — at depths stock coils can't reach. Recommended as a replacement for the stock coil.

Where it works best
Everyday searching for coins, hoards and relics in fields, tree belts and on historical battlefields. Its light weight lets you search all day without tiring your arm. A good first upgrade from the stock coil if you want one coil for everything.
Recommended for
Beginners and experienced detectorists.
