Nope the blue max coils are for the 6.59kHz detectors like the XLT and the older classicID detectors and I think a few others that operate on the 6.59kHz freq. the 3-15kHz coils thats on whites website will all work with the DFX. HH

Bob get yourself a 10inch D2 coil you wont be dissapointed. in my area it cut down on the emi issues and lets me use a better gain setting of 3 and sometimes 4 with the original the best i could get was 2. Don

Bob,
You'll notice that the D2 was recommended by folks that live in the East. In California, Arizona, and most of the Western states, I much prefer the Eclipse 950 for a standard size coil. The D2 being a DD design, should work better in our mineralized soil but I haven't found that to be true here and sold the D2 off my V3i in favor of the 950. I didn't like the D2 on my DFX either. The 950 pinpoints much better also in my opinion. The Eclipse 5.3 is a great small coil that works very well in the trashy areas while getting much better depth than the Eclipse 4x6 shooter.

Just a wild guess but I'd say you're in Northern CA.
