I'm waiting for a new machine I did see a video with somebody posting and bragging about coil Tech 10.5 several people said it's amazing but I'm going to wait on the Deus 2 seems like that guy Calabash think that's that's the new boy in town the problem with his videos is he's bragging how small the targets are he's finding the back of a small earrings stuff like that I want that big fat silver and gold so the nox to me still bit easier machine to operate and I guess to all you out there I really believe it's not the machines that finds the gold it's the education studying the beaches all locations getting the right information I think if you don't know what your doing does it matter what machine or coil you get you won't find anything unless you do your homework thanks for the great video I won't be buying another coil for now I love the videos you guys do when you go out to the location and explain the search areas education for me is why keep watching all the KZfaq channels but the gigmaster is my favorite

I bought the Coiltek over Christmas and have swung it a bit. I have the ML 6" and 11". Noticed rather quickly that the Coiltek has support on mounting tabs. Why this is even an issue with the ML coils kind of baffles me. Thanks for the vid!

@malemanjim Жыл бұрын

Having an Equinox coil ear break myself there's no way I would buy a similarly designed coil or detector that had one. Yes it's repairable but totally an unnecessary repair if it had been designed correctly. Add to that leaking issues and a new pod costing over 400 dollars, no thanks. My Excal is 20 years old and the only thing replaced has been batteries. Minelab needs to step up and take care of their customers.

Great review 👍 I have both and was expecting better results for the coiltek no complaints but haven’t noticed any any difference in the field other than a little extra covered so I’ll be keeping the coiltek 15 as my go to coil and use the Minelab as my backup.

@JusDirtfishin 2 жыл бұрын

I noticed as you pointed out that the coiltek had ear stiffeners I wonder why Minelab doesn’t do that. I would think that would help stiffen the ears up and keep from breaking so easily.

@jerrydineen2827 2 жыл бұрын

I'm glad to see you do this one Steve. I'm thinking about getting a 15" coil for my 800 but I'm a little afraid of Minelab coils!

@greghalford2617 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks it helps a lot I have the Minelab 15inch and wondered about other brands from what you have presented fixing the Minelab is the better option weight is a huge factor when swinging all day at the beach, every ounce counts. when in dry sand I will tap my coil against my sand scoop to knock off sand and it feels like I droped a brick off. good job Steve.

Coil stiffeners 14 bux slides over the coil ears on the minelab coils makes them heavy duty like the Nokta coils

@coloradocaretaker 2 жыл бұрын

I bought the coil-tech due to the fact that if my lab can't put out a product that won't break on those ears then I'm not purchasing s*** from them besides the equinox that leaks and the wobbly shaft that I replaced I have a sovereign excess to a pro and I've had a coil tech 15-in coil on that and it's all I've really swung on it and it still is waterproof and does well and it's 23 years old coil tech baby

Hey Mr Gigmaster!!! I just recentently subscribed to your channel. I loved the videos that you have put out there for every aspect of metal detecting the beach. I live in Alabama and frequently fish the Gulf and always have my Garrett with me but can never get around to doing any detecting around the beach but you have truly encouraged me to get that thing out there. I bought this detector while out in Oregan while my wife was a travel nurse. Although very expensive at the time and heavy, (2005), I feel as if its not the detector that I need for beach metal detecting!! I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos and will continue to do so. There isn't many detectorists on the beaches from Gulf Shores to Fort Morgan, AL but i do know there are some restrictions around the Fort Morgan area also. Thanks for all your input on the Minelab, which I have considered purschasing, but could use your insight also. White powdered sand is the best way I can described these beaches!!! LOL Help me get the fishing pole out of my hands and put the metal detector in them!!! Thanks Again, JT

Kinda funny Steve that you're doing the comparison between the two coils I've been looking to buy the 15 inch coil and definitely I would buy the minelab although I do most of my scanning on land don't really need the depth I'm looking for more coverage.

Have you noticed more false signals with the large ML coil? Sometimes I hit a blade of grass and get a signal. I have to turn the sensitivity down when I use the bigger coil. I cannot go above 20 without getting a lot of false signals. Do you get the falsing with the CT?

hey Steve have you noticed at all with the coiltek that in heavy mineralization at the beach the equinox kicks into beach overload mode. the symbol comes up next to the battery indicator. I find mine does it quite regularly at some of the beaches i hunt due to the black sand i am presuming. have you ever had that with the minelab coil.

Hey Steve, does Coiltek make an 11 inch coil, and if so, how much is it? On the Minelab coil, would it make a difference if you loosen the plastic coil nut/bolt when not in use or stored away, to eliminate the constant stress on the coil ears? Great video.

Check with Don over at north georgia relics for the coil. Dont think that would help on the tabs.
