Jonathan Porter Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, Steve Herschbach said: Take a look at Nokta/Makro for a lesson in how to do coils. They launch new detectors with a half dozen coils out the starting gate, and a dozen aftermarket coils follow in a few months. It is just one of the strategies NokMak is employing to win customers and it is working. People are still vastly underestimating that company. Steve, there is a huge difference in the tech these guys are selling compared to the tech ML are selling. There are very valid reasons why Minelab seem slow on the coil variety front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah and I know a few things also JP. The same was said about Minelab when they first came out. It will be a few years before NokMak goes toe to toe with Minelab. They are going to eat First Texas, Garrett, and White’s first on their way there. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Porter Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Competition is a great motivator Steve, as a detector user that bodes well for my passion. ML have been alone in the desert doing their thing for a long time now yet they still continue to innovate and provide real improvements in their new products on a regular basis. BBS, MPS, FBS, DVT, FBSII, MPF, ZVT and Multi IQ with multiple model releases associated with a few of them. Maybe competition would be a good motivator to see more coil varieties?

Norvic Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah tis all good for the user, competition certainly has shown the way. Just is good to see detectors becoming popular enough for this to be happening and I believe we owe ML for a lot of this without doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1515Art Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 From the perspective of just a guy just swinging his detector the effect of obsolescence and general market depreciation is a far greater threat to me than risking the warranty on a well engineered adaptation that increases my use and enjoyment. Warranties expire and nothing short of some miracle will get all your money back selling a used machine and if anything we may have missed the boat picking up a good deal on a used 2300 if these coils prove out as it looks, certainly got to be good for the folks that own one now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesD Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It would be great if Coiltek or Nuggetfinder made a waterproof potted coil for us California Motherload prospectors. 5x10ish size for chasing bedrock cracks. A lot of guys use the sdc in the creeks here as they are an absolute gold getter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
