HELP!! Whites Eclipse 10x6 DD Coil

[Greg407]

Hi everyone,

I wonder if you might be able to offer some advice. I recently purchased a used VDX off of craigslist, which came with both the stock 950 coil and the 10x6 DD coil. The detector is great, but I have been having inconsistent performance from the DD coil (falsing, ringing up nails as 90 VDIs, silent pinpointing, the list goes on). I tried the test (pumping up the Rx Gain to 15 and then pulling the trigger; if it overloads, the coil is supposed to be faulty). Sure enough the detector overloaded; in fact, it overloaded at just Rx10.

So here's my question (s): Is this a factory defect that causes this problem? Given that it was purchased second hand, will Whites still work with me on a replacement coil if it is a factory defect?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I posted on this on the Metal Detecting forum. Whites have a good reputation so they may replace it or offer a new one at their cost. A phone call will give you the answer.
