Coiltek Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi All, I just thought I would post up a few finds that we are being sent by users of the new coils just so you can see that they are performing quite well. They provide any SDC users with some more options for coverage depth and maneuverability and use the SDC performance abilities to hopefully get more gold from those patches you have been to where the standard coil did very well. Now the new coil sizes are not designed to perform the same as the 8" size as they are different however there may be some abilities you will notice that will be of benefit. larger coils provide more depth and coverage so the 11" and 14x9" sizes will be great there and the smaller 10x5" size is very sensitive and can hit the same and potentially smaller targets than the standard. Another benefit of the shaft attachment we have created is that the coils now become center mount so can be better balanced, the extra shaft section makes the unit better for taller people as it is 4-5 inches longer and the detector can now lay flat with the coils so it doesn't tip over. There has been some queries in regards to the warranty and I can assure you that as long as you follow our procedure to fit the coil you will find it very simple and easy and have no affect on Warranty. There are just 5 screws to undo and this is exactly how a customer or Minelab would do it if the standard ever needed changing. The standard coils are just plugged in like any GPX or GPZ coil so once you undo the coil plug its just plug and play after the shaft install so there is no 'void of warranty' by plugging another coil in. I am interested to hear how they are going for those that may have them or if you are thinking about it feel free to ask any questions of either myself or Rob Allison here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afreakofnature Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Any thoughts yet to make them waterproof so the machine can still be that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiltek Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yes waterproof coils are on the radar. What would be your preferred size if you had a choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Small for the creeks and large for the treasure coast beaches. I’d like both of those. Edited June 12, 2019 by afreakofnature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Also maybe design a way to make the cable go up the middle of the shaft. Like a GPZ coil does maybe. That also is one of the perk to those machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiltek Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 In regards to the cable up the shaft this is not an option for our coils plus to change out coils all the time like this on the SDC will be difficult to some degree as at the elbow of the shaft there is a tight corner for the plug to get around and our strain relief on the plug it too large. Its far easier to go around the shaft like the GPX type. Thanks for the suggestions though! Always keen to hear what other options are out there in peoples heads...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 16, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hey Trev, Thanks for posting more information and and finds from the new Coiltek Gold Extreme Searchcoils. Many customers have mentioned what "afreakofnature" mentioned about the coils being waterproof. I'm sure a good portion of hunters are dry, arid desert detectorist, but some really like that waterproof capability in California, Alaska, Montana and even some of the desert regions during the Winter season. We always have the Coiltek Gold Extreme coils in stock and would love to earn any customers business with our great lifetime customer service.
