In particular Geof's replies are well appreciated. If I was a coil manufacturer my head would be spinning from all the requests...maybe a flow chart would make it easier to understand who wants what types of coils for where. And Minelab...clever as they are... tip toeing around what detector to build next while being careful not to build a coil or let anyone else build a coil that will effect the sales of the precious 7000. strick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgone500 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Looks like the coils are on sale 14 July for Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Geez, it's a tough call which brand will be first to the post. I want one of each brand 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 A few questions if you will Trevor. We are at the point of per-ordering where some dealers are wanting full payment up front so I feel disclosing the basics like my questions below aren't out of line. Are you able to release the weights of the coils? Have you decided recycled Ice cream containers aren't the best thing to make coils out of and chosen a different plastic? Do the Coilteks scratch just touching them with your scoop? I'd rather a slightly heavier sturdier coil personally. Are they waterproof to 1m or something? And lucky last, is the 10x5" still a semi spiral or did you have to go bundle wound with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehays69 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Between Coiltek an NF, whoever comes up with a DD for the 6000 is gonna be a huge winner..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiltek Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks for the replies - and some good questions. Phrunt - answers are weights of the coils are on the website now: https://coiltek.com.au/coils/goldhawk-series/ 9" = 700gms inc skid plate 10x5" = 575gm inc skid plate 14x9" = 900gm inc skid plate Plastics are UV rated ABS There isnt many plastics that wont scratch in the field with dirt being scrapped over the coils. the labels are a polycarb so are very durable and will look great even if rubbed over with the scoop. coils are quite robust to handle many conditions yes waterproof to 1 mtr. All coils are bunched windings. Hope this helps answer your initial queries and I am sure more will be answered once the coils are out in the field after July 14th Thanks, Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks for your prompt reply Trevor, looks like I'll be trying out a 10x5" once my dealer gets 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureous Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 15 minutes ago, Coiltek said: All coils are bunched windings. ALL coils are NOT flat wound? That goes against the original ML parameters for the 6000. I would hope thats a typo/mistake as the 9" round and the 14x9 SHOULD be flat wound....there's room in the coil shell, just like the Elite coils for the previous GPX series... The 10x5 HAS to be bundle wound of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
