I was wondering if the aftermarket coils were that much better than the Minelab, i.e Coiltek.

I'm very hesitant to go Coiltek because the GPX was designed to use only Minelab coils?

My fear is i don't want to hurt my*GPX 5000 in the long term by putting a coil on it that Minelab doesn't like?

It seems like everyone with a GPX is using a aftermarket coil. I especially like the Coiltek 9" Elite

I'f you were me would you get a Coiltek coil?
 

I've used (and own) many a Coiltek coil. They work great on Minelabs. I wouldn't worry a bit about using one.
 

I think i've decided, I'm going to stick with Minelab coils.
 

Hi again everyone. I went ahead and bought my coils. after many hours of thinking and reading i decided to get 3 additional coils for my GPX. I should be set for life now :)

11" Minelab Commander Mono

Nugget Finder 14x9 EVO

Detech 15" Ultimate Spiral DD
 

I seem to have messed up and bought another coil :)

Nugget Finder 17x13 spoked

Now im good :)
 

FWIW: I have had good luck with Nugget Finder coils on my 5000.
The CoilTeK are a bit heavy and in my experience they seem to false with some regularity.
 

I use a 12.5" detech DD as my go to coil for American civil war relics.
 

Some companies are trying to monopolize some products
Therefore, it puts its own labels on Coilteck products To be sold through
