I see First Texas is selling new F70's

[Diggin' B]

I guess they are going out of busine

Diggin' B, I am looking for a new 5" DD for my F-19 Ltd. If you or someone who now has a new 5" want to part with it, please drop me an e-mail: monte@stinkwaterwells.com

It is not the same coil as the 5" for the F-70 & F-75, but maybe you or somebody has what I need. ???

Thanks,

Monte

Hello Monte! Sorry, I do not know many other detectorists locally except my brother. He still likes and swings his E-Trac. There are others in the area with YouTube channels but I do not know them personally. Good luck with your search and thank you for the many years of input on detectors.

The coil ears on the ones I've seen look paper thin.

Mine are thick as could be not sure what you are referring too.

The coil ears I had on both the FT 5" and the 5X10" DD new coils were VERY thin.----Same for the housing on especially the FT 5X10" coils---was very thin & the top of the coil housing around the thin coil ears cracked VERY easily----and I am careful with my coils.----Never had a problem in that regard with the FT 7X11" coils though---These were the new coils for the F-19 that I am referring to.----I have no idea if they have changed the composition make up on these coils or not---but this has been my experience with them.

I will take a pick and post when I get a chance the tax man is coming due so I have a few things to take care of. I guess we all do.

They both have lower rods also. If you can use them for ft machines. Broad band coils good for 7.8 and 19 k

Not good for f75 or t2 which was wired differently. The t2 was wired differently
