Ridge Runner Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Jim I’m going to call Whites in a few minutes and ask about that coil to see if they will sell it straight out . I’m like so many I don’t need the detector. Get back soon. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ok Jim I just got off the phone with Jack was his name and he said at this time it will be sold only with that detector. Oh but dig this ! I ask if it was a dual field coil and he said no . It’s a folded and that’s the word he used eight that will be more sensitive to small gold than the dual field coil. If you have a question ask for Jack. Now you know the rest of the story said Paul Harvey. Chuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe John is getting royalties off of that design. I guess you and I will have to sit back to wait for the videos to see just how good it is . Chuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 So, they're just making their own version of the Folded Mono. Interesting. I don't think the Folded idea was ever patented. I'll have to check on that. Or maybe it was and Miner John licensed Whites to make their own, or have another coil maker build them for Whites. Thanks for the info.

Jim in Idaho Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Turns out that Reg Sniff publicized the idea on Geotech. Once it was publicized it can't be patented. So anybody can make and sell them. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Idaho Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'm sure Whites will start selling them, once they've milked the market on the detector package deal. It would have to be much better before I'd spend $250 on one. I already got lucky a month ago, and found a new MJ 8 x 12 for $150, shipped. Seriously good coil, too.

Ridge Runner Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Noob Before Miner John was making the coils another guy had the business. He was making the coils for a fair amount of time then sold out to John . The only patented that White’s may have on is the name they using. I think at one time it was referred as a folded eight. You may want to read back on what Jim said about a patented. It’s some out there that think the coil is is the cats meow . It’s all about ones opinion from another.
