Sourdough Scott Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Came across a post on Facebook, about this gentleman testing a few aftermarket coils. This really opened my eyes this morning. I was under the impression that the Minelab coils were chipped and no aftermarket coils could be used. If this was the case? Why did they wait so long? The smaller coil would suit my needs just perfectly. X Coil 2021 News 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flakmagnet Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Don't know if I could handle a lightweight 7000 coil. I'd probably fall over on my back. It'll be fun to see how these coils progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hey davsgold, i was curious how the small coils are coming along. The 10 inch and if an 8 inch might be coming. Really interested, the smaller coils help me get in the small creeks and gulches, especially if they are waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the 10x9 being available! I really would like to see how that works for MDing up the gut of the small creeks and gulches I detect. Would they be waterproof? What kind of depth are you getting? Debating on keeping my SDC or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 9 hours ago, davsgold said: Yes the small coil would be good in and around rocky edges in creeks and gullies and in shallow type ground, depth is about 3"to 4" inches on tiny stuff, like point something of a gram size. And about 12" to 13" on larger multi gram piece (10g), seems to be about what it can do. I doubt it is water proof, light shower of rain and dew yes, but I would not be dipping in puddles, or in a creek with water in it. cheers dave Well shoot looks like i gotta keep the sdc for my creek detecting. I seem to get better depth inch or two, smaller coil 8", and waterproof. Thanks for all the info! Look forward to the big coils too! Although i might just completly switch over to the nox for the creeks, but have had such good luck with the sdc. Hard decisions! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
