Nugget Finder / Coiltek What’s Needed Next ?

[RONS DETECTORS MINELAB]

I am glad NF are trying to make a go of the stacked 12x7” spiral in the smaller sizes, it’s going to give the Algoforce and modded 5000 more of a fair chance at hitting the smaller bits that the 6000 hits on so well. It will also be the same sized coil in comparisons as the Exceed and probably have similar performances kinda like what Nenad shows the 9” Goldhawk vs the 9” Elite doing in the performance comparisons.

Hopefully Coiltek can also make a go with the smaller stacked spirals in the 10x5” configuration. Coiltek also seems to keeps up with the supply and demands of the marketplace.

I think 12x6" is as small as they can go with the semi spirals, 12x7" would be a logical choice for NF as little investment is needed, they already have the shell from the 6000's coil.

I believe the 9" Coiltek is already semi spiral as it's too small not to be.

Yep, spot on Simon, the dual layer spiral coils need height and width to make them work. the internal spiderweb former has to be about 1-2mm thick which adds to the dimensional problems. The 12x6-7-8 or 9 round designs are as far as the concept will allow dimensionally. A stacked mono is the only way to make a smaller mono coil with a flat wind. Even this adds height, much like the old school Co-planar coils we had in the day....

Coiltek have the manpower and dedicated R&D team to build new product much more quickly. Having the HQ of Minelab a few km down the road from their factory is probably a nice bonus too....
