Heres a little something people need to consider when buying coils and just putting them away if they water hunt. The other day i had one of my Xcals for sale .... it sold and i was about to ship it. Noticed..... cracked coil cable. Darn right? Well i had 2 NEW and 1 almost new so i sent it to have the almost new one swapped out. During the repair...... he noticed, its cracked too. Now down 2 coils..... i go to my storage and pull out a NEW one still in the plastic......would you believe BOTH those new coils have cracks too..... ugh .... down 4 coils.
So it appears you might be better off just having one put on at the time as opposed to buying one for a later swap. I can only assume its a heat issue. I keep all my metal detector extras in a large tool chest in my garage. Its not ACed but stays much cooler than outside. Looks like ill be selling these 3 coils they should still work for dirt and shallow water hunting.......$40 apiece sound about right?
