Wow! Impressive! The New Coiltek 10x5 coil for the Equinox

[nagant]

Used mine on fresh water beach yesterday. I can tell "round" better and can also figure out caps a little better. Clad coins read a little higher. This beach gets detected fairly often but i pulled 5 clad quarters in an hour plus other coins and they have been there a long time by the looks. All were 6" to 9" , 10" deep.

Nice work! Getting great feedback from our customers on the Coiltek 5x10 for the Equinox.

How does the 10x5 compare to the factory 6" when looking for gold?

From a web search.... "
The middle is not as sensitive as the heel and toe on tiny targets nor as deep, as the targets get bigger the middle becomes the most sensitive and certainly the deepest part of the coil on bigger targets, as someone intending to use it for coin type targets this will not be an issue with you and in fact it's a benefit of the Coiltek to those who use it to hunt small gold having the really hot heel and toe.

I haven't used mine for coin type hunting as I require the most depth possible so little coils serve no purpose for my coin hunts and if in a real junky area it makes more sense to put the 6" on rather than the 10x5" as the footprint is smaller, less chance of two targets under the coil at once.

These are the sorts of things you've got to weigh up when you decide which to buy, both work really well, never seen someone break the ears off a 6" so it's likely just a problem with the bigger coils maybe sometimes due to people leaning on the detector getting up from a dig causing fractures with the bigger coils. Never seen someone break the Coiltek ears.

Either way you cant' go wrong, both are good coils.""

I just got an EQ 900 and I ordered the 10x5 with it because whenever I can get a small elliptical for nugget hunting I jump on it. The 6" round designs are ok, but generally, nugget hunters need to be able to stick the coil into tight places that the 6" round can't reach.
