Omega and Fisher F75 elliptical coil

[mattw]

I have read a thread somewhere and cannot find it now, about using the small elliptical coil from the F70 or F75 on the Omega. Does anyone do this and does it work well? Please comment, I would like to buy one if it works.

Thanks Matt

Its will "work" but not designed for it. The coils made for the omega "greek" series work much better.

It looks to me from a frequency standpoint that the F5 coil would be a good match. Don't know about the connector though. I am just opposed to using a 5 inch coil and creeping along when I have large areas to cover and little time to cover them. I really wish that they would make an elliptical coil that was 7.5 or 8 inches by 5 or so inches. I have them on my Whites and my Minelab machine and they seldom come off.

So far I am really liking the recovery speed of the Omega and other things about it, but would really like to add this coil to my arsenal.

I thought I read on one of the forums that Teknetics/Fisher was coming out with a few new coils but nothing so far. I normally use the 5 inch around small trashy areas and the 11 inch to help cover larger areas, even in moderate trash. The 11 inch coil just seems to be a good all around size and not too large.
