Best Excalibur waterproof coil connector ?

[chipmonky]

As the title says.
Want to get the DETECH 13 INCH ULTIMATE COIL.
Plus have the option of swapping out for a smaller one.
What reliable one to use.
Many thanks from not so sunny Cornwall

Hi chipmonky, I live just up from you in devon I've got an Excalibur 1000, I was wondering about changing coils, do you have to send the detector back to the factory? Good luck, mate water wizard

Just do it yourself....or someone that can solder....and a good pair of glasses..

i used OBNs videos when i did my first coil hard wire and it went well ..and i dont think minelab will put a different coil on ur excal anyway

i used bulgins and the plastic threads ended up failing! if anyone knows of some stainless steel waterproof connectors that will work let me know!

Fair play oldbeachnut, you did a great job. I think I would still be scared to try that myself, maybe with some more practice on cheaper things first........great video

Where in Devon you from ?
I am from Launceston but but come raiding your beaches a lot
I could hard wire it myself but like the thourt of changing on the fly to suit conditions

Will do.
Stuck working for the next 10 days but after that there is some nice lows coming.

Just got a lathe a few months ago and been making endcaps for some custom setups, here is one....Working with eugene in spain on these, It's just like the ikelite battery connector but for the coil, you unscrew the plug from the Pod to replace the coil. Maybe something next year after more testing from eugene...
Same with the Skullies, 10 hunters testing UWspeakered headphones for the summer..endcap to headphones, with different gel ear pads
