Is this the NF 14"x9" coil you refer to Steve? https://arizonaoutback.com/nugget-finder-advantage-14-elliptical-sl-mono-coil.html

Can you direct us to the feedback please as it would be of great interest I am sure and it surely must be quite comprehensive after all this time? Regards, Roger

phrunt: I have had an email from Detech earlier this year (mentioned elsewhere on this site) and it states they no longer ship to the UK. Coikltek coils are somewhat suspicious in regards water.....most are not waterproof, only water resistent. Not good on wet beaches in UK where it rains most of time.

Thank you for your suggestion Steve; that is one I would really like. But I doubt there will be one for sale in the UK, or any of the ones I have listed, hence my search here. I do not mind emailing retailers/shops/stores anywhere in the world to ask if they have a coil/loop in stock and are happy to ship to the UK; all I need is some leads=name of websites. I also appreciate, that the Razorbacks, MJ etc are 99% likely to be secondhand and used. That's fine by me. When I ask about the Nugget Finder 14"x9" Mono, is there only one with that dimension? Regards, Roger

Thank you, Staffordshire Detectors is one I know and have looked at the Ebay listings of his many times in the past.

In the UK there are about half a dozen or so major retailers dealing in new and second hand metal detecting equipment so finding some items here are very difficult or impossible to find. There are no gold fields, so PI defectors are at a minimum and restricted to a few that work on beaches and do not cost the earth; for example the Cscope CS4PI is popular. I have seen 2 original Eric Fosters in use on beaches too; a rare event these days. A few used less expensive Whites PIs occur for sale from time to time on Ebay or Facebook. Previously I have bought new from the USA and have had to put up with and accept massive import duties and VAT on top of carriage costs. Wanting to acquire different coils for the Whites TDI SL I am looking to have help please with suggestions of retail outlets possibly in USA, Australia or less likely Europe. I am sorry, this is already long winded. I have only just joined the site but been a lurker for years and think its a brilliant site and have gained much knowledge from it. So, as I cannot use the classifieds yet, my only option today is to ask for suggestions of shops/stores that may have for sale a coil that will suit detecting on our UK beaches; there is no mineralisation to cause concern. From what I have gleaned, maybe one of these will be an alternative for the standard 12” Dual Field and maybe be a bit better? I do not mind new or second hand as some are I think out of production. They are not in desirability order, but I do not mind comments too in regards a no no or yes yes. Digger 14”x8” Jimmy Scierra by Miner John or Dan Geyer version. Razorback Beach Hog/Longreach. Detech 15”x10” Mono. Nuggeteer 18”x6” Minelab mono series. Jimmy Scierra T-Foot 5.5”x18”. Nugget Finder 14”x9” or 14”x7”. Ground coverage has a part to play as some of my local beaches are 7 to 9 miles long and shallow, so the tide can go out from dunes on a big tide a mile or more. Lots of beaches from top to low are a quarter mile plus on average. Thanks in great anticipation. And I do not mind at all receiving PMs. Thank you and Regards, Roger

EDITED. So sorry, I had the wrong end of the stick so to speak. This is about Detech not sending to UK, not Thrace. I will paste exactly as in email: "Hello, we don't ship to UK anymore. Please excuse us for the inconvenience. Kindly Regards Antoniya Nikolova Professional Metal Detecting Equipment www. detechdetect.com"
