SP24 coil coming today... looking for updated advice!

[beetle662]

Looking through the thread here and it seems that it's been a while since some discussion on the SP24. Is everyone still liking V 2.77 over 2.78? I'm running 2.78 now with the stock coil. Just seeing if anyone has any new thoughts or ideas! Thanks all and Happy Hunting!

I bought the simplex to use as a inexpensive water machine .. it came with the v2.78 .. the stock coil and lower rod made it almost impossible to swing in the water .. I tried it for a few hours on land .. and was totally unimpressed .. I was considering selling the machine until I downloaded the 2.77, bought a carbon fiber lower rod and the sp22 coil .. now I kind of like it for what I use it for .. I have no idea why they would go from the 2.77 to the 2.78 .. IMO the 2.78 made the simplex worth it's cost, where the 2.77 makes it a great bargain of a metal detector as the hype I bought into on this machine was saying .. I haven't used the sp 24, but the sp 22 coil is a great coil for the water detector

With the stock coil I upgraded to 2.78 and it was much quieter and my preferred choice. 2.77 was just too noisy in my area. When I added the SP24 I still liked the 2.78 but recently went back to the 2.77 and I like that also now with the new coil. If I happen to go to an area where I feel I'll need to switch coils I'd probably run 2.78 all the time.

Thank you! What is it that makes you prefer the 2.77 for the SP24?

v2.77 with the SP24 is the serious ticket. Use Park1 and have fun
