Bounty Hunter 10" Magnum Coil ?

[Cal_Cobra]

I purchased what was advertised as a new Bounty Hunter MAGNUM 10" concentric coil to use on my F4. It arrived today, and nowhere on the box does it mention Magnum, so I just wanted to check to see if they make more then one 10" coil ? It does have a part# on the box, item # 12239. When I went to the BH website, it just says the part # is "10"coil", and oddly they don't list item # 12239.

Did I get the right coil ?

i believe there is only one, may have different pt # for bh, fisher, discovery or titan, they are the same

Different sites and dealers call the coil different things...Just like the Wal-Mart Pioneer 505 is a BH Sharp Shooter II...I do believe their is only 1 10" coil...There may be multiple plants that manufacture them also...My coil on my Land Star is not the flat top/flat bottom variety...my coil is curved on the top, and flat on the bottom...At first, I thought there was some kind of cover on the coil, but now I think it is just how it was made.

I have read that you have to send the new coil (and md) back to the factory to have it calibrated to the md. Is this true?

 

[BH-LandStar]

It is best to have the machine calibrated to the coil, but unless your getting excessive falsing or other coil related problems, it is not totally necessary.

hey cal cobra, i also bought a 10 in. coil, and still have the box. its odd that you say yours is concentric, where mine is round. the box says, 10 in. super sensitive search coil, wide field, part no. 12239. how odd. nowhere does it say magnum. hh,

Back when Bounty Hunter/Teknetics was not First Texas,they made a White 10" coil called 10" Magnum coil.
Same coil now black.

Thanks everyone for your help, this is the round, flat top/flat bottom version. I hooked it up to the F4 last night and did some air tests, and it's hitting dimes and quarters at 10" - 12". I understand air-tests are not necessarily representative of real life, in ground targets, but it's promising just the same.

Gray Ghost I thought concentric = round ?

hey cal cobra, a concentric coil is like an oval, longer on one side than the other. i have an 8in. x 9 in. concentric coil on my tesoro cibola. i hope all of this info helps you, i can say the 10 in. coil is one of the best i ever had, and i think youll be happy with it. hh,

Gray Ghost, I'm new in the metal detecting arena so correct me if I'm wrong but in any other context concentric means one or more circles inside another - not oval.

 

[Cal_Cobra]

Gray Ghost perhaps Tesoro is using the word in a different context. All the round coils I have are called concentric by the manufacturer, and a quick look-up of the term the common definition seems to be "having a common center".

 

[LaDigger]

Elliptical coil is the term most commonly used for an oval shaped coil, usually a DD coil.

 

[Cal_Cobra]

I believe Gray Ghost means Elliptical, Concentric is definitely round.
