Whites New 10" D2 Coil

[Steelheader]

Does anyone here know what the weight is for the new slimmed down D2 coil.  I know the old one was really heavy.  Is the new one much lighter?

This coil just what detector is it made for ? My question is because White’s makes lots of 10” coils for many models and they D2 too.

You must know about a new coil that I don’t. That’s nothing new anymore! Like my wife says that I’m out of the loop.

It's not really a new coil.  Whites just slimmed down the original 10" D2 coil a little bit to cut down on the weight,  from what I heard.

My V3i new last summer came with the newer slimmed down D2 coil. On my digital postal scales, coil and cable weigh 1 lb 2.6 oz or 526 grams.

Now we need an accurate weight on the old coil, which can be hard to get unless somebody does what I did and weighs them. many weights quoted on the internet are inaccurate - just people repeating something they Googled.

FYI the old scuff covers will work but are a poor fit, with large gaps at the edges allowing sand and debris to get in unless taped. I wonder if White's ever made a new scuff cover to fit the new coil?

Answered my own question. The new D2 coil now has a matching scuff cover.

According to a measurement made on this older thread about the new coil the old D2 weighs 566 grams and the new one 526 grams so 40 grams lighter.

Old profile D2 on both of my scales (certified) is 1# 3.8 ounces.
