 They replaced my 11” coil as well. I finally got to go out for another hunt. The first day I used the coiltek 10 x 5.  It ran ok but was hunting in some hot ground...I think the geosense  is part of the problem...again if I put slight downward pressure on the coil while resting it on the ground it would sound off even with the 10x5 coiltek...seemed the geosense did not like being in one spot for long...did manage 3 small nuggets that day...second day different  location needed to try out the new 11” coil..ground was not as hot as the previous location..the machine ran perfectly that day managed another 3 small nuggets....in conclusion I still don’t know what to think except I like the machine when it runs stable...I experienced no bump sensitivity either day.
