Skate Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything new on the 6" coil. I've heard we may be a month away give or take a week. I know I'm not alone in saying this but the 6" is going to just kill it in parks and old trashy homesteads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal_Cobra Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Looking forward to that coil too, bet it'll be deadly at iron infested relic sites. Hope it doesn't loose a lot of depth over the stock 11" coil, that'll be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 The depth issue may be a problem on the relic side as I admit I'm only a relic hunter when I pull something up (that's not coins or jewelry) and someone smarter than me says that's a great find. For coins it's going to be like having a holographic scope on the end of your detector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relicmeister Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'm really hoping the cost is reasonable. I'll likely keep it on my 600 and the 11" coil will stay on the 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 How soon can we expect Detech, Nel and others to come out with coils for the Equinox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the technology of the coil. If it's a proprietary design like the ones for the CTX, it might have to be made by a Minelab partner, like Coiltek. I'd love to see Detech, NEL or Mars make coils for it, the more options, the better. We definitely need a 10" x 4"/5"/6" closed design coil for relic hunting and prospecting, and a small coil for trash and iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The Stock 11” Coil feels remarkably small in high trash compared to any detector I have run with that size coil.. I can’t imagine what the 6” will be like.. I’m actually looking more forward to the bigger coil for ground coverage.. Hopefully it will knock the edge off some of the tiny targets that the Equinox is so sensitive to.. I’m with you Cal Cobra.. A closed elliptical coil would be fantastic..

V3i/MXT Pro Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Minelab, how about a 6" elliptical coil like everyone else has? C'mon, it would be a huge success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJJ Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I've had my vendor hold my 15% military discount as a down payment for the 6" coil. I hope it isn't a long wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
