Dances With Doves Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 They have the coil molds for a 9'' coil from the X-terra which is a waterproof coil and one that I never broke the ears off.I have all 3 of the 9'' concentric coils for the X-terra and liked the 18kz the best because it was good on gold.Maybe this machine is like the T2 and can't handle a concentric coil.They also have a 6'' coil mold which would be nice for small gold if this machine could use a concentric coil.Could a concentric make this machine even better in iron? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I'm sure Steve, Jeff, and some others can answer this! But my guess is that they are incompatible, and/or may enter the "realm" of one of their other detectors! And as you know, ML tends to be a "little stingy" on coil production anyway!? But definitely a valid question!!?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Probably the same reason there's no production DD coils for the Fisher CZ series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PimentoUK Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Quote:"Maybe this machine is like the Teknetics T2 and can't handle a concentric coil." It's definitely not this reason. The T2 uses a centre-tapped transmit coil, which makes it difficult/expensive ( though not impossible ) to create a cc coil. The Eqx has a conventional single-ended transmit coil, and so this restriction is not present. I think the 'DD on CZ' issue mentioned above is nearer the mark. The Eqx is developed for a DD's characteristics, and it would take a load of extra development to make it work with either DD or CC. Having the ID/security chip in the coil would be useful here, as the coil could clearly identify itself as "A 12 inch concentric" , allowing the detector to choose the correct operating algorithms etc. to suit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Thanks Pimento. Well if they could do it I would like the 9'' plus a 6'' concentric. How many would buy one if the 6'' was the same price as the 6'' DD and the 9'' was the same price as the 11'' DD ? I have used the 9'' concentric in the shallows with the X-terra and it swings nicely in the water compared to the 11'' coil on the Nox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Here's another question along a similar vein: why does neither Minelab nor Coitek make an Equinox coil within a closed housing? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
