As some of you may have read my XT70 died the other day. upon contacting Minelab and talking with Dick my problem is going to be taking care of, can't say enough about their customer support!
The odd thing is and maybe it's just a coincidence but this problem started the day after I used the new 5x10 double dd coil. I put it on at the end of a hunt just to try it out and was actually quite impressed with it for finding coins, only used it for about 15 minutes with no problems. The next went out in the yard, turned it on and nothing happens. Changing back to the stock coil and I try it again and same thing, won't turn on, messed with it several minutes and it comes back to life only to shut down on its own after a few minutes and that was the end of it, never came back on again. I guess the question I have would the new coil if something was wrong with it cause the control box to go out or is it just a coincidence that the control box was going bad and went out when I put the new coil on it?
