Smart coils have chips that communicate with the control box to properly match the coil size with the operating parameters of the detectors. This started with Minelab in the X-Terra series but is also done by other companies. The Nokta/Makro coils are sensed by the detector, for instance.

The conspiracy theory is this is for no reason other to control coil sales. That may be a side benefit for the manufacturers but the main intent is for the detector to know what coil is attached so that the machine can tune itself for the coil. For instance, depth gauge readings are calibrated to stock coils on detectors. If you run "dumb coil" then going to a larger or smaller coil causes the depth gauge to be inaccurate. On my White's V3i I can manually enter the coil type to compensate. Smart coils go to the next step and do it automatically.

Here is how Minelab explains it for the X-Terra. They are single frequency only but you can bet Minelab has taken what they have learned since and applied it to Equinox.

X-TERRA first digital detector.jpg

World’s First All-Digital Metal Detectors

VFLEX transforms conventional single frequency metal detection technology by including two microcontrollers (miniature computers), one inside the control box and one inside the coil. Every time the detector starts up, the microcontrollers establish communication via a digital data link. The coil microcontroller communicates the coil’s configuration, size and exact frequency, so the control box can generate a perfectly matched transmit signal. This significantly reduces distortion and increases Target ID accuracy.

Perfect Sine Wave Transmission

VFLEX technology generates and transmits a perfect high quality sine wave, using the same technology that is found in high quality digital audio players, and is produced without distortion. The removal of distortion maximises power transmitted from the coil, therefore increasing detection depth and sensitivity. This also results in enhanced Target ID accuracy and greater immunity to both ground and environmental noise.

X-TERRA signal boost.jpg

In-Coil Signal Booster

Weak target signals are amplified inside the coil, before the receive signal is sent up the coil cable where interference and signal loss can occur. This technique improves immunity to electrical noise by reducing false signals and increasing target signal strength, therefore improving detection depth and sensitivity.

There is talk about lots of stuff but the three coils currently slated are all I know of that are actually in the works. That’s enough to deliver on for now but I am sure more will follow. A 6 x 10 closed would be good but I never hold my breath for stuff like that.

Since they gave it a dedicated prospecting mode they just HAVE to make a 10" elliptical available! :smile:

I made a statement on another post about rubbing your butt thinking a wish will come true.

Here I am myself wishing that all new detectors would come out with a small coil and a large one when it goes on sale. I know nothing is free making the detector cost more. I for one will hit a site detecting with the small coil first. 

Here I got a detector on order and I will go out with the big coil to check my new toy out but I’m going to have to wait on what I really want.

It could be a option that would be offered to us. I like the sound the word option makes .

I know some of you would say that I wouldn’t be happy if they hung me with a new rope. I say it’s my money and if I’m willing to spend it then let me have it like I want.

I’m not running for any office so I’ll step down and let you speak.

I need to correct one word I used and that is toy. When I hunt it’s no game and my equipment Is not a toy.

The Go-Find series aside, I like to think of Minelab Detectors as instruments.:smile:
