Sadly, just out of warranty

The chip failed in the 19” coil and then in the 14”.  I’m certainly no expert and could well be wrong but chips seemed to fail in two separate coils. I would think it unlikely that both coils were faulty. 

Has anyone had any issues with their coil chip failing?

l bought a second hand 19” coil for my GPZ and it worked fine for several months and then out of the blue, it failed.

Minelab suggested that I buy a new coil. After a bit of research I decided to have a dongle made up from my 14” coil and now 12 or so months later the chip in the dongle has failed. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a problem with the detector or am I just very unlucky?
