GPZ 14 Coil For Minelab GPZ 7000

[Steve Herschbach]

My guess is Minelab knows accessory coils are a key area. If anything they may help aftermarket people get coils out sooner rather than later. Coils despite what people think are not an area most manufacturers seek to horde to themselves.

If Mlab didnt want to keep the coil market to themselves, why chip the coils!

[Steve Herschbach]

The coils are intelligent coils that tell the detector which coil is being used, much like has been done with the X-Terra coils. That way the machine optimizes the detector and coil for best performance. It certainly could be used to control who builds accessory coils also. Counterfeiting is a big problem these days.

I wonder if it contains calibration data for the coil in particular aside from just what coil is there.  Or will that cal data be part of a software upgrade for particular chips.... hrm...
