DSMITH Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 this is for anyone that wants to know what each coil weigh's and to compare the weight of one coil against another Legend coil LG15 - 381g - 13.43 oz LG24 - 385g - 13.58 oz LG28 - 565g - 19.93 oz LG30 - 499g - 17.60 oz LG35 - 751g - 24.49 oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacialgold Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Interesting spread. Less than a pound difference, bottom to top and vice versa. My question is -- and as a relative newbie -- I've only swung the stock coils on the Equinox and Legend (plus their 6" versions) and I wanted to get a feel as to how other folks experience coil weights differently. It's a rare thing for me to get more than 2 hours for a detecting session, and, while I can certainly feel the difference between an 11" stock and 6" sniper, the weight differential and balance doesn't strike me as a big thing overall. (Granted, we're talking short hunts by a guy whose is in the 6'/250lb range.) Definitely can see how the coil weight would have an impact on longer sessions, but just curious to hear what others think. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMITH Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Well for me the 11 inch feels toe heavy, so I use the back up battery pack to act as a counter balance to compensate for the toe heaviness, the difference in weigh between the LG 28 and LG 30 is not much but in my opinion the LG30 will balance out just a little better than the LG28, and even though the weight difference is slight it will make a difference in the over all feel of the Legend in my opinion I have the LG24 on the way and will get the LG30 at a later date and most likely once I have both new coils they will be the ones that are mounted to my Legends all the time just because of the weight differences, personally I see no need for me to purchase the LG35 ever as the weight of it would be to much at my age to swing for vary long, and the areas I detect the LG15,LG24,and LG30 would be all I need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrUU Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The difference in wheight between the 24 and 28 is very significant. Don't forget you are swinging that wheight at the end of a 5 foot pole (sorry metric dude, I mean 1.5 meter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The LG 35 coil swings just fine if you shorten the overall shaft length an inch or so. It is a great performing coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
