Konus and some Nikon products have a delay of 4-5 days before dispatch due to warehouse slowdown. Some exceptions may be made if you give the courier company authority to leave parcels at your preferred address. To ensure the safe delivery of your order we require a signature with all parcels. Due to less frequent collection of oversize items delivery may take 2 to 4 additional days. For a map of available depots, click here. Oversize items such as very large telescopes may only be available via pickup from a depot or delivered to a business address. Select items may be be eligible for free shipping. The price of shipping varies based on the delivery location. Shipping costs are automatically calculated during checkout. Waterproof: Yes - fully submersible waterproof to 3m / 10-feet. Rural deliveries and extra-large items may take several additional days. Fully Minelab approved and available in three sizes, they simply plug-and-play into your 600 or 800 Minelab Equinox detector. The small size makes this coil ideal for. Wow,I wonder how it would compare to in ground targets.Once your order has been picked up by the courier please allow 2 working days for North Island addresses, for the South Island allow 3 working days. The coil is completely waterproof and fits on the Equinox 600 and the Equinox 800. Overall, I am thus far impressed with the coil, and can’t wait to use it “in the field,” where I can begin to get a feel for its REAL value – its ability to separate, in trashy sites. SO…while you DO lose depth with the 6” coil, as expected, you may – in a real-world scenario – be able to gain most of that depth back, due to being able to run it at a higher sensitivity setting. You can also see that by bumping the sensitivity on the 6” coil up from 18 to 22, you “gain back” most of the loss of air-test depth, getting to within ½” to ¾” of depths achieved by the 11” coil, set at 18 sensitivity. In summary, you can see that the 6” coil (at 18 sensitivity) loses roughly 1 ¾” depth on each coin, in an air test, as compared to the 11” coil. Since “18” is a rather conservative sensitivity for a 6” coil, (but that is as high as I could go with the 11” in my indoor testing, and since I wanted to keep it “apples to apples”), I wanted to see how much depth gain I would get on the 6” coil if I bumped sensitivity up some. I found that I was able to run sensitivity about 3 points higher, as the 6” coil is (as expected) less affected by EMI. Iron Bias 2 (on the 800, equivalent to 1 on the 600)Īfter this “apples to apples” comparison, where I tested both coils using identical settings, I then re-tested a couple of coins (specifically the silver dime and the silver quarter) on the 6” coil, but this time bumping sensitivity to 22. Recovery Speed 4 (on the 800, equivalent to 2 on the 600) The rest of the video is just some discussion of a few points regarding the coil, and the testing.ġ1” and 6” coils, air-test comparison, done indoorsĪll-metal mode (horseshoe button engaged) In the video, I did NOT record the testing of all the coins I ran only the silver Roosevelt dime in the video to show you, audibly, what quality of signal I listened for in order to call it a “hit.” In other words, how repeatable of a signal I listened for before I assigned a depth value to that particular coin, with that particular coil. I also did a Youtube video, which I will post a link to as soon as it is done uploading. Anyway, how much value exists in such a test is up to each individual to decide I simply wanted to provide the data. etc., I do think there is at least a little bit of value when doing side-by-side air testing of two different coils for comparison purposes. While all the normal caveats of air testing apply – such as air-test results in no way mirror in-ground results, etc. I wanted to give some idea of the relative capabilities of this coil as compared to the 11” coil. The 10×5 coils is 100 waterproof and performs well underwater and just as good on land. Based on requests from several folks who are curious, I went ahead and did some air testing with my new Minelab 6” coil, attached to my Equinox 800. The Coiltek 10×5 Coil is one of the latest Double D coils made for the Minelab Equinox Metal Detectors.
