I’m about to order a backup coil for the GPX. Torn between getting a used once 15x12 DD commander for 200 or getting a Coiltek 14 Elite DD at retail. I’d like to try both and keep one as a backup. I already have a basically brand new 15x12 commander DD.

Besides very old Native American stone tools, worked glass, and a mica cut out associated with the mound builders. I live near a lot of old native settlement sites. We also have a lot of colonial sites here. I’ve found copper kettle points. Copper that was cut to make arrow heads. Quite a bit of Spanish silver. Cuts and wholes. Some just pounded or sanded flat. 1773 Virginia half penny. A cut silver dates back to 1730. Lots of buttons from the 1700s. A lot of these sites overlap with Native American sites.

I’ve seen the cables that come to the houses here. It’s a small fiber with a small copper wire attached for locating when it needs to be marked. The main lines are in a 1 1/4 orange pipe right along the road ditches. They have recently come down into the rural area in my area along some of the roads where I hunt. I was hoping to not get any interference. Under ground Power lines, and phone lines are a pain. As well as electric fences. Believe it or not the fences are more of a pain than anything else. But all can vary day to day.

That’s a good idea. I figured I could do something like that. I have a heat gun for bending plastic electrical conduit. I’m sure I could get one to fit pretty well. Thanks

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I’ve never really had a coil without a skid plate. Except maybe the older whites machines. I was just curious I wasn’t sure if people took them off for a reason or if some of the older coils never had one. But I’ll let you know about the cool ASAP. My dad still swings the old whites for relics. I haven’t asked him about it. They still do well if you if you know how to run and listen to the machine.

Does anyone know if fiber optic cables put off EMI that will interfere with most detectors?

How fragile do you think it is without a coil cover? Did someone take it off to make it more sensitive or deeper?

I was talking about the skid plate or coil cover. I was trying to find one that might fit it.

Was the one that came on it black? I might be interested

Yeah it’s a 6.59 frequency. Same plug. What’s the bottom of the coil look like?

Could I find a coil cover or make one?

What size is the hot head? 12? I have a whites blue and grey that I use for relics. Would it work well on that?

There are some nuggets that came from Virginia that ended up in the Smithsonian. One the size of softball.

Do you think the Iron reject is deeper with the Spiral DD?

Which Coiltek are you speaking of?
