I already wrote about the release of a new reel from the Nel company earlier on the blog, for those who haven’t read — link here. Some comrades wondered how to correctly pronounce the name of the new reel? There is an analogy with the computer game War Thunder — which is often simply called «Tundra», the Nel Tundra coil sounds quite good. But of all the pronunciations of the word «Thunder» («Thunder» in English) I prefer the «Zander» option. In some places it is in tune with «Sonderkommando», haha, just like a Sonder command to knock out all the fields completely!
Also AC/DC performed the cult song Thunderstruck, fans will be appreciated, I think. So «Zander» quite a worthy name.
Now about the characteristics. About detection depth and selectivity will be written later, when we purchase a Zander coil for the new Garrett ACE 400i coin changer, and then we’ll check it, but regarding the weight of the coil there is very good and optimistic news — among their 14.5 inch «classmates» Nel Thunder turned out to be the easiest.
Weight of the reel with the reel guard on. As the manufacturer writes on its website, the use of coil protection is optional.
Weight of the coil without protection. As I wrote above — you can walk without it, the protection is just an additional «bonus».
Weight of plastic reel protection. Judging by the weight (93.7 g), the plastic is of very high quality and solid.
Let’s see how they say it in Odessa! But the data presented cannot but please us, definitely.
All about the new Nel Thunder reel — Nel Zander, I collect here. And, naturally, I collect more reviews on metal detectors, coils, pinpointers and other accessories here, everything useful to comrades is in the right place. 🙂
