NEL Tornado Review From Stout Standards
NEL Coils….Awesome!
Owners of Garrett AT Pro International and AT Gold metal detectors who want increased ground coverage per sweep, are up a creek without a paddle because Garrett don’t make anything bigger than their 8.5″ x 11″ PROformance DD coil – an already impressive performer – for the AT range.
Fear not, help is on hand. Here in the UK, Regton Ltd, our biggest and most comprehensive retailer of metal detecting equipment is the agent for ‘after-market’ NEL coils specially designed to complement most major manufacturers’ machines and Garrett is no exception.
NEL coils are factory tuned to the operating frequency of particular machines thus enhancing their depth and performance capabilities. On the AT Pro International that’s 15 kHz and 18 kHz on the AT Gold.
The 12” x13” Tornado model is real asset; a Double ‘D’ configuration giving excellent target separation. Target pinpointing is spot on …immediately in front of where the detector’s lower stem bolts to the coil. The Tornado is good compromise between ground coverage, weight, depth, without significant loss on earing-sized targets. Owing to the increased coil diameter, keep the Tornado well away from trash-filled areas of beach, or junk-infested inland sites, where target masking will be a problem for the unwary. Nevertheless, the Tornado is ideal for hunting pasture land.
There’s little point in owning a well-built, top-performing machine such as an ATPro/ATGold, only to fit a flimsy, poorly designed ‘cheapo’ searchcoil. You’ll discover NEL build-quality is robust and attentively designed even down to positioning the cable plug on the coil so as not to have an acute angle that might lead to later problems. Priced at £129.95 post free (UK mainland), with a coil cover thrown in for good measure, the Tornado’s a bargain.

Garrett Pro-Pointer AT field test
The Garrett Team visits a Civil War site and offers several of their fellow hunters the chance to try the NEW Pro-Pointer AT in the field. During the 1 1/2 day hunt they ran their new pinpointers through the mud and water and generally checked out the new features. Each person was then asked their opinion of how the Pro-Pointer AT performed.

Detectorists – gone but not for long
We are all very sad to say good bye to our favourite characters from the Detectorists. On a positive note we can proudly say that we supplied some of the metal detectors seen in the program.
Louise the Danebury Metal Detecting Club member and Paul, member of The Antiquisearchers are using our Garrett Ace 250. Andy finds his first gold with the superb XP Deus and Garrett Pro-Pointer points him toward the treasure. Sophie, young History student, chose Eurotek for her first metal detector.
We are truly happy and proud that the equipment from Regton took part in creating such a magnificent program. The show will return for a new series late next year. Can’t wait!
Other metal detectors appearing in the show like Viking used by Becky – Andy’s girlfriend, Hough and Varde – DMDC members and Minelab CTX 3030 used by Lance, Terry’s Minelab Safari and Russell’s Minelab X-Terra are also available to purchase in Regton shop.
A PHYSICAL HISTORIAN IN NETHER HEAGE
One of our customers, Rob Johnson has written an excellent local history account of his finds with a Garrett AT Pro International in the little village of Nether Heage, Derbyshire. I’m sure both newcomers and experienced detectorists will enjoy this gentle stroll through time with many pictures to help your imagination and create each scene around the village.

From Rob’s website:
Hi, my name is Rob and over the past four years I have been metal detecting in Nether Heage. While out one day on my first farm, I found a small buckle containing white sapphires. It was recorded by the finds liaison officer at Derby museum and dated between 1600-1720.
This led me to looking more at the written history of Nether Heage. I found 3 books all telling stories of the area from the 1600s to the 1800s. I decided to look at the locations that are in the stories, to see if I could find any lost or discarded items (physical evidence) that were from this time period.
It was suggested by one of the farmers I write a book on what I found. I was unsure at first,not knowing if there would be much interest, but as I went along I spoke to many locals who seemed very interested. The book is written in parts, with the first part available now. The book can be downloaded for FREE by clicking the Download Book link below. This will open a new screen in Google Drive.

Thank you, Rob Johnson
