New Equinox Coils From Coiltek

Agreed and hence the hesitation on my part.  I think I am just winter bored and want new toys?

The DD diagram has to be taken with a grain of salt IMO.  On deeper targets they are most sensitive in the middle of the coil just like a concentric.  Anyone that thinks differently is wrong and missing a ton of targets if they don't use a proper overlap as you would with the concentric.    

Agree, but to be clear, as Steve commented earlier, I only provided the diagram to illustrate the basics to someone on how to visually identify if a coil is DD or concentric based on a question that was asked regarding whether the Coiltek coils were DD.   I was not referencing the simplified detection patterns of concentrics vs. DD's in the diagram at all.  We can talk about edge sensitivity too, but that was not why I pulled up the diagram as that was way beyond the scope of why I included it in my post.

Never been a big fan of Coiltek.  Hopefully we can get some good test garden results to separate fact from fiction. I will be watching carefully.

I just doubled down on my order, as I now see they adjusted the price more accordingly.

I feel the 10" ellip and the 15" round will be my own 2 that gets used most.  Can't wait to get back into some of those rough terrain areas that produce big gold with my NOX and find a few more.

10"X5" NOX COIL #C04-0018 $219

14"X9" NOX COIL #C04-0019 $239

15" NOX COIL #C04-0020 $269

Contact me at www.gerrysdetectors.com to get your coils ordered.

Yes, all finds pictures are of my NOX usage.  And as a VET myself, I also offer the 15% military discount on most Minelab Detectors.

the 15" with an harness will do......

Seems like the question now is when?

I could be mistaken, but I have never seen ML release an upgrade to an existing coil design

When I bought my Explorer SE back in 2007, that machine came stock with what Minelab called their 11” (or maybe it was 10” ?) Slimline coil.....that coil was a “piece of crap” compared to the Explorer II’s 1050 coil. When I ordered a 1050 coil for my Explorer, it was a big upgrade....more stability and depth and less falsing on mineralized ground on turf and sand/salt environments....I believe Minelab admitted later on that those slimline coils had design flaws....I don’t remember the following timeline exactly, but when ML released the Etrac with their new Pro coil (or shortly before), they immediately replaced the slimline coils on the original Explorer SE’s and renamed the machine an SE Pro.  When the Pro coils became available, I upgraded my 1050 coil for the new Pro coil and that was the coil I hunted with for the proceeding years I used my SE...The Pro coil was a great ML coil, and miles better than their original slimline coil for the Explorer SE series.

Hi Raphis.Are you able to keep up with your buddy  Jamflicker and his FBS machine vs. your Nox.He seems  to be doing  good and has more years on that machine?

I never used an Etrac, but Jam and I have hunted together for many years now.  He has about 30+ less years hunting experience than I do, but it doesn’t show much.  He knows his Etrac as well as anyone I know.  When I used my SE while hunting with him, we always were able to hear each other’s deepie signals. After I got the Nox 800, there were a couple tough, one way deepies that Jam had difficulty hearing, but most of my Nox signals were heard by him....
