SittingElf Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 When I put myself on the waiting list for the 800 with my dealer, I told him to immediately put me on the waiting list for all coils, headphones and other accessories that will be released by Minelab. He agreed, and I'm #1 on the list for the additions when they become available! Of course, I'm STILL waiting for my 800... I'm #5 on his list. In the meantime, I have a 600 being delivered early next week, and the possibility is that one of the other coils may be released BEFORE I get my 800. No problem! I'll take it! LOL!

mn90403 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Wow! I didn't know what the order delivery status was at the present time. I think now in retrospect that it has been nice to have the 800 for a month or so but I don't have the parks and fields to hunt in where it shines the most. I'm thinking the 6" coil will add a lot to my desert nugget hunting but who knows ... the original coil may be the ultimate ticket. Steve has used both ... what does he say about his 6" coil?

Did not know Steve had the opportunity to use anything other than the stock coil. At least that's what I remember him saying a while back when asked about whether ML had given him the opportunity during testing. Would be great info if he is,at liberty to discuss it.

Mitchel You know what this caused me to think of? Everyone knows the definition of insanity, right? 'Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' Aren't all of us metal detectorists then insane? We go over the same ground, the same locations over and over again and expect different results! Granted, sometimes it is with a different metal detector or coil but often times it isn't until we get the last target. We're an insane lot I guess.

Steve Herschbach Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Ha, ha, never hurts to fish for information Mitchel! The only sighting of a 6” coil I am aware of is this Facebook video with a peek at the new 6” coil near the end... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesH Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I want that 6 inch coil for a go in the hydraulic pits on small gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveg Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I am waiting on the 6" coil as well. HOWEVER, I have a sneaking suspicion that the 6" coil will be $299 -- the same as the 6" coil on the CTX. I hope I am wrong, but if not...OUCH! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes, The Gold Monster with the 5" coil is amazing on tiny gold. We found 3 pieces yesterday. Two that are so small that they won't even register on my scale.

mn90403 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Matt, Good point. I don't know how many ways we need to find fly specs. Mitchel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
