WVdigger Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Any word yet on a smaller coil? I assume they will be coming out with a 5"x9"...sure would love if they ever made a 5" round for the really iron laden sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A battery and other technology would have to fit into a 5" coil..........I doubt it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but I'm sure they could just put the battery in the shaft like the HF coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good time to make a 5x9.5 solid coil. Or if the charging connection won't work for that then maybe 2 smaller batteries located on each side of coil internally.

Rivers rat Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Last time i asked it was a no .It is too much of a niche market .And i think the batterie issue is another one. Now i will be curious how many 6"and smaller coils, all manufacturers combined, sold since the D1 is out........that may make them change their mind. I m planning to sell my D1 and use my lobos with their small coil more on the Thames. D2 is here for a week but my body has been covid stiken so i m indoor.

RR I absolutely love a 5" coil for hunting in the real thick iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 If they add another coil my guess would be the 5.5”xx 9” elliptical, only as a FMF coil. I thought that would have been the logical accessory coil instead of the 11” X 13” they plan to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenson Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Yea I hope they make a 5x10 for the D2 otherwise I'm hanging onto the D1 with it's 5x10 for hunting ghost towns and gold nuggets. I asked XP about making a smaller coil and they said the chip and battery won't fit in a small coil. I doubt that has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
