So today after having used the 15" coil on my Equinox 800 for over a year now,I decided to swap back to the stock 11"coil for a change.And so off to the beach!
The first beach was once again fully sanded in, so no targets to compare the coil.
At the second beach, I decided to hunt up high close to the dunes.
I scored a few coins and sinkers & the usual junk.
Got a nice deep solid twelve, dug a couple of scoops and started to wave the coil ... What! The damn coil has snapped at the lugs and was hanging in the air!
So back to the car which was close by. Fortunately, I had brought the 15" coil with me so I quickly swapped them over. I was tempted to go home but decided to do another half hour there. Retraced my steps back to the hole. The target was still there, it was still deep. Three scoops later and look at this! A gold wedding band, no markings but passes easily on the 9ct acid test... and to think I nearly went home!
I'm not sure about the warranty on the coil! .. I will find out on Monday.

. I went back to the store and got some plastic ones and it’s worked great since.
That's a lovely looking band - congrats!
Hope they take care of you under warranty.
