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?

Yes, ML are supplying Rohan and Co with the code-lock chips too now, a break from previous policy. Looks like the 1st Xceed coil will be a Sadie. Hopefully an ellip smaller DD will be next.

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?

Vic, I havent seen any pics of the coils yet....how do you know they are white? Did Ian tell you? As I said a few months ago, one of the coils is a 9" Elite version and the 14x9 is a logical step (same as the 14x9E) in the same lineup. But, the 10x5 Joey size is an interesting surprise! Hopefully they have learnt from the ML coil design on keeping them lightweight. And, no....there's no reason for a white color for heat dissipation, any color other than black will function equally as good.

With regards Coiltek 6000 coils being white - just going on their picture below.

Some of my 5000 Coiltek coils are camo colored, white coils are OK though.

The 14" elite coil by Coiltek was my all time favorite coil to run on my 5000. I ran that combo 100% of the time. Never should have gotten rid of them!

I wonder if the anti interference figure 8 style coils like Coiltek made for the GPX 4500/5000 would be possible for the GPX 6000? That'd be awesome if they could be made.

My guess would be not required.  With a small DD and the GPX6 in EMI mode I would have thought it would be the same result?

Well i was ready to jump in and get the small Coiltek mono - now i will have to wait and see what Nugget Finder has to offer before making a decision.

The std AI coils made by Coiltek were all modified DD's. Twin windings.... but if the overlapped DD's as made by ML (the supplied 14") were to be copied in other sizes (smaller, say like the original Platypus size DD's) then it would be extremely useful, I agree! I'd get one for sure!
