Good Reviews Of M8?

[Yooper]

More than one dealer told me they would receive no more than 2 per dealer.

That is just weird, we have had a steady supply in NZ, even now my dealer has 5 in stock

M8 COIL WITH SKIDPLATE 8″X5.5″ ELLIPTICAL DOUBLE-D (dredgenz.co.nz)

Their main competitor has them in stock too but their site doesn't say quantity.

Minelab M8 - 8"x5.5" DD Manticore Coil - Jacobs Digital

They've been readily available here since I got mine some time ago.

No problem getting the 8" in Australia , stock in all stores . Very strange that supply is not better in the USA .  Have found my 8" to be a ripper stable coil and great on small gold . Probably not quite as good as the 6" on the Nox but runs with less falsing and the extra ground coverage pleases me . Still using version 1 Manticore .

A dealer in the classified section has them in stock now. 

And thank you. Me and an acquaintance BOTH snagged one 

Much gratitude for the heads up

 

I asked if they were actually "in stock" all I heard yes, I got a few blah blah.... I literally interrupted him and said "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

Mine arrived yesterday.  What a nifty little coil!  I only had a few hours, so I took it to the trashiest area of a trashy park just to play with it.  Dug 60 coins, mostly clad dimes (one wheatie), in about 2-1/2 hours.  And zero surprise trash.  Did dig some trash that was collocated with the coins, but knew before digging there was a coin and "some other stuff" under the coil.  Was able to pluck four nickels right out of the machine gun pop top tabs.  And after mostly swinging the M15 these past few weeks, it felt weightless.

Guys, collectively you are not helping me with my temptation to get the M8 coil...... and now I've KFC on my mind and I certainly don't need that.

The Colonel is taunting me.....M8 coil or Popcorn Chicken.....tough choice.

This joke might only apply to Aussie and Kiwi members. Not sure about you guys in the USA.

I put on some Al Green and read that part over three or four times......slowly

I got it out again yesterday.  To a very iron infested and very hammered - as in detected many times by many people - 1870's mining camp site.  No amazing finds, but very pleased with how the coil operated in that environment.  Find of the day was a Chinese cash coin, in some thicker sage brush where the M11 would have been very difficult to use.

Really liking this little sucker.

I ordered Dec. 21st. I have heard nothing on mine. I could have used it yesterday.
