My 11" coil has also gotten to the point where it won't charge. I tested the pins from the charging clip and I'm getting 5v out. I cleaned the contacts on the coil with Deoxit, tried the pencil eraser, no luck. So I contacted Detector Electronics. The guy that answered my call told me that he has no replacement coils in stock and that I would have to call American Detector Distributors. I called and gave a woman my email address. She sent me a form to fill out and instructed me to email it along with my purchase receipt to another gentleman.
That was earlier yesterday (Black Friday). So far I have not received any reply.
The charging design is really poor. I never had any charging issues in the 25+ years I owned White's detectors. Now I'm stuck on a nice weather weekend with no detector. I ordered a 9" coil fromAmazon but it won't be here until Wednesday:(
