Teknetics Liberator coils

[steve1357]

Couldn't pass up the Liberator at $219. But I didn't notice it uses the push in coil connectors.

My best guess is that I can use my older Fisher F5 coils that uses the push in connectors?
(The earlier F5 used a push in connector as the earlier Greek series)

On another thread, Cipher said this: "If you want larger coils or more of a selection buy the $20 push in to screw on adapter from Serous Detecting."

I have no idea, I have one shipping to me, I watched some youtube vids and this seems like a good one for me to learn with and has good depth as is, with some ability to play with the settings and learn.

Mine came in a few days ago ,and i'm in love Just fooling around in the front yard it found a dime @5" and a quarter @ 7". Especially like how it weighs nothing

I had the same issue. I have a Technetics Delta which uses a push in connector and wanted to get a 11" COLS DD coil which uses the screw in connector. I got an adapter from amazon for 20 bucks. It works great.

Is this the adapter ? https://www.seriousdetecting.com/pr...g-adapter-5-pin-female-screw-6-pin-male-push/

Found a video, looks like the older F5 and Greek push on coils will work with Liberator

Yes that is the correct adapter...however it is male to male and not female to male as advertised there.

A male to male will allow you to take a "screw-on" coil and place it on a "push-in" unit like the Liberator (Land Ranger Pro) and early Delta F5 series.

Here is a link that might be of interest.

Mine should be here today, I have a set of old F5 coils and newer Greek coils; I ordered an adapter.

Mine was supposed to be here Friday, but was sent signature required, and I was called away for something, and came home to a door tag. I hate that, I didn't know. So next business day is today, I didn't really have time this weekend to play with it anyway I guess (my son's birthday, and he woulda taken it as his). So this week I get to play....

Mine was same, too mad to post lol. Fedex always gets here after 3pm, same as UPS. Fedex guy shows up at 1030 and leaves tag.

Note to Teknetics: "Notify everyone signature is required"

That's a heck of a deal. Don't worry about the push in coil, I used a LS with 2 coils for 7 years and never had a issue. Keep us informed on how the Liberator does, especially on nickles in the field

Holy cow Batman!

Air tests and around the yard exceeds anything I expected. What you've seen or read is true, 10-12" on a quarter all metal. It can ID coins in the garden at 8". I'm not a coin shooter but the options in the menu should cover anything.

And my older F5 push in coils work great, the 5" DD is deep also.

And for $219? With the Land Ranger Pro still at $300, I wonder if the Liberator is here to stay.

ONLY thing I have to work on so far is a carrying case. It's two pieces instead of the usual three I fit into a 28" plastic tool box. Have to find a heavy canvas bag.

,.If this was some new detector to just hit the market those results would make headlines lololol,...All jokes aside it may be hard to find many detectors in the $500 range to duplicate those numbers. Keep us posted on how she does in the wild. Amazing what a few hundred bucks can get you now. Thanks First Texas.

Try your high school ring......unbelievable......and it's a 7khz detector.

Got my adapters in today, awesome! Can use my GoldBugPro screwin coils in addition to my F5 pushin set. No difference noted between stock Liberator 11" DD and GoldBugPro 11" DD in air tests.

So I posted about the signature required, it should have been here last Friday but I got a door tag from FedEx. I redirected it to a local walgreens (FedEx seems to partner with them for this) and that is where I went wrong. FedEx can't find it, it should have been at Walgreens Monday, I put in a claim to track it, and they still don't know where it is. Maybe they will know today, maybe I will have it for the weekend, but I'm not holding my breath. I should have logged in, selected no signature required or whatever, and let it come to my house I think. I am starting to wonder if someone else is enjoying the Liberator...

What is funny, my sister is a captain of an Airbus 300 for Fedex, I haven't mentioned it to her, stuff happens. I bought via a distributor - via their amazon listing for ease of purchase, I'll contact them today after I follow up one more time on my tracking.
