Older Coinmaster V Supreme Needs 15 inch coil???

[snowwizzard]

We have an older Coinmaster V Supreme and want to get a bigger 15 inch coil. Does anyone know which ones are compatible?? Are there any or should we just sell this and get a newer one with a larger coil. We were hoping to just find a 15 inch that works with it. Thanks!

Does this detector also have the name "series 2" or "series 3" on the side of it?? You can look on the mounting tab of the coil for the coil series numbers. It is near where the bolt hole is on the left side. If it has a 6B and some other numbers you might look on ebay, they sometimes have the 15 inch coils on there. The newer Blue Max or Maxima series will not work it.
Also you might look in the classifieds on Tnet here. Sometimes you might find one for sale.

From what I remember, and this is one old machine, the V Supreme operates at 1.75 khz which gave it its depth and all the later machines ran at higher frequencies as discrimination was introduced so it would be difficult to find a larger coil to match.
Hope I'm wrong...I like to see the older detectors still in use.
