[@MentalMetal]

Which Minelab Coil do you prefer and what do you think about the new Coiltek coils? Any of them look good to you? I'm looking forward to the 5x10.

@Jad Scott Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

Hi Mental Metal and all - thanks for the video showing off the coils. we wish you the best of luck with your use of the new NOX coils! We are slowly catching up with supply so we appreciate everyone's patience while we make the coils and keep them high quality!

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks Coiltek looking forward to trying them out especially the 5x10.

[@REDGTA]

Excited about the 10x5 for the same reasons. Loved using it on the AT Pro years ago.

[@MentalMetal]

Same here!

[@digginjuggernaut81]

Thanks for the info Mike. I enjoyed watching.

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks for watching

[@markrowell9561]

The 11 inch coil more stable in saltwater can run it at around 19-21 sensitivity same conditions for 15 inch coil 14 -17 sensitivity lets hope that the new 15 inch coiltek will work better in saltwater looking forward to seeing it tested.

[@stevejames9510]

Waiting........

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks for the info. I hope they do better as well. Especially the 5x10.

[@Underwatermetaldetecting]

I use the 15” in the Gulf of Mexico a ton and regularly run at 19-21 with it no problem

[@Charles-cs3ze]

wonder if that 12x whould have better separation i have both and a killer test garden just need to do the comparison up to 9 machines now definitely keeps me busy thanks for your dedication 👊

[@MentalMetal]

Thank you for watching!

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

I really wish they would beef up the attachment point. These companies don't seem to get that not everybody is hunting nice manicured lawns, beaches, or bare fields where you don't bang into things. Nel and Cors are the only ones that seem to understand this, and have nice strong attachment ears.

[@MentalMetal]

I would have to agree w/you on that. They really do need to stop cutting corners.

[@depthspader8820]

I have seen the Minelab 15" tabs on the coil snap off, just to weak, turning the coil into a $300 plus (Canadian) piece of junk.

[@stevenhall7659]

Great detector, poor build quality 👎

[@clemarr]

Agree 100%. I have worked in the plastic industry for 40 plus years and have had a lot of Injection molds made and modified. It would be a simple modification of the Injection mold to increase the thickness of the attachment ears and the cost of the extra plastic is very men-able. I am always afraid mine in going to break even with me being very carefully with it. With my Simplex that detector is built like a tank and its 1/4 the cost but I prefer my Nox 800 well at least right now. Just my 2 cents.

[@LostBoysRecovery]

Nice review scott i have the 5x10 coiltek coil like it so far!

[@MentalMetal]

Very cool!

[@fabianwylie8707]

Hi , so what’s the latest beach coil like , is it better ?.in depth ?.

[@MentalMetal]

It's good. I like the 15" and check out the Coiltek coils they make a 14x9 and a 15" as well.

[@SoFloSteve]

Great info video today.

[@MentalMetal]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikeshobbiesandrandomstuff]

The 15 is an exact copy of the one for the x-terra 705. It's a little heavy for me not to pleasant on a long hunt and I don't want to see how much it flexes my equinox shaft.

[@MentalMetal]

I have it for the Equinox and it seems to be fine as far as flexing goes, then again I do have the carbon fiber shaft though. It is a bit heavy after a couple hours of using it. Thats just my honest thoughts on it.

[@depthspader8820]

hey MM, couldn't agree more, 11" smokes the other Minelab coils. The 6" really a waste of money if you ask me for the few things you might find, at best you carry it in your pocket and use it if you come across a spot with good finds and you need to check a tight spot , use it for 5 minutes and switch back to the 11". The 15" is good for wide open , virgin ground, and you want to cover more ground quicker picking off the easy targets, which is becoming a rarity (the virgin ground that is) and that extra inch of depth almost always is just deep rust, another waste of cash. Now the Coiltek 10x5 has me interested for the same reason, I really liked the 8x5 on the Garrett. Can't wait to get my hands on one. ATB & HH 👍👍

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks for the comment I really appreciate your insight as well. Glad to see we are on the same page. Thanks again!

[@robertwoody9573]

Hopefully there 15" will be half the weight, of the minelab??

[@MentalMetal]

Couldn't tell you Robert I never got one to try but yes Minelab's 15 is heavy.

[@alexhalterman5278]

Has anyone use the 14 x 9 coil in the surf? I am considering getting that coil and I thought I heard it was weighted to keep it down better than the stock coil?

[@MentalMetal]

I was hoping to get one but haven't yet but if I do I will def throw something on the channel for you.

[@alexhalterman5278]

@@MentalMetal I bit the bullet and bought one. It should be here today and I will test it out over the weekend. I hear see posts where the 15 inch is not as good on smaller targets so hoping this will be deeper than the 11 but more sensitive than the 15"

[@patricetereek3353]

Good news i need a new Anvil 😈

[@donusmc1]

Do you have plans to review that carbon shaft? Or have you already and I missed it? I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m trying to make my nox a little more backpack friendly.

[@MentalMetal]

Hey thanks for the idea I can probably put one together. I really like it to be honest. its lighter and collapses but I'm not so sure you would be able to put it in a back pack but maybe.

[@donusmc1]

Awesome. I appreciate the reply. There’s a hinge sold on Etsy that allows the screen and handle to fold over but it’s difficult to judge durability from the pictures. The appear to be 3D printed. The concept is pretty sweet. I’m just kicking around ideas to make it easier to lug into some of the hike in places I detect. I hope all is well and I look forward to more videos in the future.

[@bassingwithawesomejohnson3202]

I was thinking about getting the 6" to use in the park and other trashy areas. Is this a worthwhile investment? Or should I just keep the 11" rocking?

[@MentalMetal]

I like the 6" it does have its advantages and it will help you in those trashy sites. I found plenty of coins I missed at my trashy site.
