VicR Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Just received Coiltek email. "Want to unearth more gold with your Minelab GPX 6000? The wait is almost over! Three new sizes will be available - 10x5", 14x9" and 9" and your local authorised Coiltek dealer is now accepting pre-orders so get in quick to avoid delays! Stay tuned for more information on when these super-sensitive and highly anticipated coils will be available. " So looks like you can pre-order them in Australia. Wonder why they stuck with white for these coils? - is there a technical reason? Less heat build up inside the coil? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Nice, any word on coil weights around the net yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 size #7.5 bird shot is the cheapest, most commonly used shot. i don't think it was purposely done by minelab, but maybe some kind of happy accident that the stock 6k 11 inch coil seems to have a harder time hearing them (unless flattened out) in the ground. or air testing them. i never thought i would say it. but i don't need more sensitivity with the 6k. 5x10 might be nice though for poking in cracks and shrubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicR Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Just spoke to local Adelaide Coiltek supplier and he has no pricing , weight or release date details yet. I'm on the list and will get a call as soon as they have some information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesD Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yep, looks like a lot of 2300s are about to retire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SDC can handle dificult terrain including hot rocks exceedingly well. With all my enthusiasm for the 6k it is kind of sensitive to hotrocks, more so than the SDC (IMHO). There are also other reasons, i.e. foldability. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 14” can pick up #5 shot several inches under ground, never mind my swinging arm and shoulder, it’s now my knees that won’t stand for it! ?

VicR Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Looks like Nugget Finder will have a coil for the 6000 as well. Only information at the moment is the attached picture. Wonder if it will be a Minelab approved accessory? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
