A New Concentric Coil Coming For The Earlier GPX 4500/5000 Series From X-coils

It's all relative, people who find a lot with their detectors and coils think stuff is worthwhile, those that don't think it's not. 

This was just posted yesterday; a guy had his first day out with his 15" Concentric that just arrived for his GPZ in Australia.  His first foray into X-coils after his friend recommended, he did it.

Paid it off the first time out and enough change to buy another one, you can bet he's not concerned about its price, considering his detector was 10 grand.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum, hard for me to pay gold detectors and coils off with my small gold but I just really enjoy doing it so to me it's worthwhile, but my VLF's are a different story, they owe me little if anything at all.  One ring paid off a few of them in one hit and I've found hundreds of silver coins. I thought my CTX was an absolute bargain.

It's looking like the 15" GPX Concentric will be $490 USD delivered express.

Is that the coil retail cost, or your cost?

That would be the price they would sell them for on their website including shipping.

Sorry, not what I meant. I meant was that retail cost or your price for shipping that one to you. But you answered it. Thanks

Yes, that will be the retail price including the express shipping.

Simón, do you by any chance know his weight?

No, I don't at the moment sorry, I'll have it soon and give all the details of it once it arrives.  I'll also test it out on hot rocks that other coils and detectors struggle with to see how it performs in various timings and if it maintains good sensitivity while in them.  I'll take a photo on the scales, that's the best way.

The other thing I want to do is go to the black sand beaches and see how it goes there and see how that compares to the DD I have been using so I'll get some video of it doing various things.

The price is more or less what I expected.  It is in the price range of nuggets finder coils, although a little high compared to detech coils.  The xcoil costs the same as the 15 dd spiral coil plus the 18 concentric coil

Phrunt, I am not clear on the benefits of this new x coil for the gpx models of the past. As far as I understand it it will be better with EMI, hot rocks, and such to to it being a concentric coil. Since proto types have been made, has the manufacturer tested them out in the field on real targets situations and has it performed better then its counterparts from other manufacturers such as nugget finder and coiltek? I mean 500 bucks these days for anything is a chunk of change, and performance is key for many of us before we decide to part away from our hard earned dollars. I mean if we have and I am sure many of us do run the nuggetfinder Evo coils on our older gpx models, why would we chose to buy an x coil? It would be nice if x coils actually proves its better on emi, hot rocks and best of all depth. In my areas hot rocks are not a problem, not is EMI most of the time. And the evolution coils do just fine. Of course getting a few more inches on smaller targets would be enough convincing for me to buy an x coil, but not until I see proven results.
