phoenix Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I saw the prototype of the first coil that will be released for the 2300. 10x5" The tester really likes it and apparently it is dynamite on the jagged bits. And the main thing I wanted in these new coils, it is centre mount . I will probably start using my 2300 a bit more 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I wondered if this was the new coil for the sdc being tested, but it sounds more like a gpx is being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, I have no clue what you are talking about here. Are you saying I didn`t see the prototype coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW hey JW. I don`t think I need a smaller coil than the 14" for the 7000. I got all these pieces with the 14" coil. But the 2300 with greater ground coverage plus centre mount. I gotta have that coil cheers Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhaseTech Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yeah exactly. Also for me, small coil equals less EMI, equals greater sensitivity levels and/or less Smoothing required 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Minelab or aftermarket? If not Minelab, what about warranty? I know the coil can be replaced but it sure is not designed for that to be a user option. Will taking the detector apart and replacing the Minelab coil with an aftermarket coil affect the warranty? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix, While it would be nice to have other coils available for the SDC, I am just surprised that there has been no discussion about the obvious difficulties associated with replacing the 2300s stock coil, which is electrically hard wired to the unit, as well as being mechanically difficult to remove. Not to mention doing so would void the warranty. Also, I haven’t seen any mention of what company or individual(s) is developing these coils. Did I miss a post about this somewhere?
