I am looking for the Extra coils for the Manticore , It was about a 6 month wait for the Equinox extra coils to hit the market , I am concerned as fresh drop season here is getting close , anyone get wind on when they are hitting the market , feel free to chime in .

No idea when the two new coils are coming out. I'll go for the 15" when they do. In the mean time....the 11" works pretty darn good for "fresh drop season". :wave:

I Like the 15 coils at the beach , the extra coverage is needed for a 60 block hunt , when I got the Equinox 800, hunted with the stock coil until the 15 came out , took about 6 months to get , than never came off , different strokes for different fokes , happy hunting !:newidea:
Why don't you ask on their website

Never delt with those people , thanks anyway ! Posting here maybe a member who gets news might post it , or sponsor .
One thing I read was they were supposed to come out in first quarter of this year, but ML decided to push their new detector lineups first and put the coils on the backburner so to speak... hopefully you will see them by December lol

Why not do a Cupajoe type mod. Attach a pool noodle to your coil and be done with it. A large coil with added protection. Ain't that the same thing ? You just can't hunt in the water , but perfect for skimming the wetsand.

Why not just splice in 2 11 inch coils and attach them together with Gorilla glue... I'm sure OBN could mod it for him :yes:

I don't think OBN has the expertise on coils. He's the battery man. Cupa Coil could do it with those braces I seen.

Earl... think about how many AQ's Fisher sold... it wasn't many and quite a few were lemons... until they rectify all the issues I would not buy one...

You have a point. As I recall the Limited they were supposed to sell were about a 100 units. Not sure if they sold half that...even with all the hype. And of that half sold , reports of faulty units were trickling in for a myriad of problems.

I think they sold like 28. They weren’t getting parts and it’s possible they cannibalize the others for repairs. I know one guy who got like 2 months use in a year. They produced what was supposed to be the best PI ever designed for the PRO hunter and it only runs 3 hours. That screams it wasn’t designed for a real pro.

His have different coils that the others did not get ... what happens if one of his 2 start acting up? He won't sell you one... then he would be without a spare lemon :lol:
