Welcome to TreasureNet. What butterfly coil are you talking about?

 

[Tommybuckets]

It has a very unique pin system I think it's eight pins. I have never seen a coil connection like it . Good luck my guess is no until they come out with new ones just for equinox.

Many refer to DD coils as the butterfly type.
The Equinox models come included with DD coils.

Welcome to Tnet Shirley5525!! The dd is a type of coil used on metal detectors, butterfly coil might be a term used back when the DD coil was introduced, not a term iv herd anyone use though...

The only coils available for Equinox that will work are the 6", the stock 11" and the 15" all are butterfly DD coils from Minelab.

There are no after market coils that work for the Equinox at this time, not compatible with coils from other detectors and it is not just a connector pin issue, there is a micro chip in all Minelab coils that talks to the control box, different chip for each detector. Coils for Minelab Explorer series, Safari and ETrac are all compatible with each other but not with Equinox.
