My coil died...

[Joe G]

Been having some intermittent problems with it. Started acting up on me and then stopped working all together. Looks like it's the connection at the coil itself. If I jiggle the wire around I can get it to work. It's out of warranty. Can they repair coils? I wonder how much that would cost vs just buying a new one. If I get another coil, which one? Stock, platypus, joey... Need something for all around use, so I don't think a WOT would be good... I don't know. I'll call Minelab when they open and see what they say.

What a bummer.

Good luck Joe - my only experience with replacing coils is when the ears holding the shaft broke off about 4 months ago. Ask all around and get info, Steve in so az

...a lifetime warranty? Hope you get it fixed soon.

Maybe there will be cooler weather and rain by then with easier digging!

God Bless!

that Al sent my unit in, it was out of warrenty also. they sent most of a new unit back! I would go with the stock, it is a very good coil! I bet if they can't fix it, you could get one cheap on the classifieds?
