- In this video we review all three Coiltek coils 10x5, 14x9 and the 15 inch DD for the Minelab Equinox metal detector series. I talk about what conditions and setting would be the best for each one of these coils. I hope you find this video informational and helps you better understand what each of these coils are good for.
Thank you so much for watching!

Absolutely brilliant well spoken video on the new CoilTek Coil Laurie!!!
Patiently waiting for my ordered small & large coils 🥰🇨🇦❤️
Thank you Ally! I do believe they are arriving this week whohooo ☺️
@@RelicDirtyhands 😝😝😝😝
Great video Laurie, I always learn something new about the Equinox watching your videos
Thank you! I'm so happy you learn something new with my videos 😊
That was really well done Laurie, great video!
Thank you so much Garrett ☺️
Nice video, I shared this to our metal detecting group - Okinawa Metal Detecting.
Thank you so much ☺️
Great video! Very informational
Thank you!
Great Video Laurie! Like everyone else I know, I amvery excited to get swinging these new coils. My coils will be used for beach hunting in sites that I have already cleared with the standard coils. All the best!
They are awesome! Super sensitive! I found an itty bitty piece of trade silver with the 14x9.. So much fun to have these extra tools! Many women's dilemma is what shoes to wear today.. For me it's what coils will I dress up the equinox with today 😆
After seeing you guys on Marlon's show this morning I had to come over and subscribe 👍😎👍
Thank you so much! Those guys are great! We had such a great time!
Great video and information 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you ☺️
Very Informative and helpful. Thanks
You're very welcome :)
Great Job! I am Going to be Rockin the 14x9"....this Year!
Sweet! Seriously the 14x9 is my favourite! Amazed at the depth, separation and sensitivity. Found an itty bitty deep silver with it!
Me 2
fantastic video love her tutorial
Thank you so much 😊
I'm going to order the little guy ☺ The 6" is already my go to coil so it's sort of my obvious choice that the 10x5 will be perfect as the middle child of my coil set 👍
You will fall in love with the 10x5.. I have the 6 as well. I love how easy the 10x5 is to overlap your swings! Amazing separation and sensitivity! I Love how you see your coils as a family ha ha love it!
I have the 10x5 on order, will use it water hunting the surf. Smaller coil less drag in water. Thanks for all the tutorials.
I'm loving the 10x5.. Took it to the beach this morning, I could swing it all day! Amazing separation.. Now just for me to find gold 😆
@@RelicDirtyhands Hope you find GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) or another Copper
I’d be happy for one or the other ha ha!
Great information video, when do you think they will be available in Canada, I ordered a 14x9 2 month ago. I guess there is a long list of people asking for them. Wish you a great 2021 metal detecting season.
They arrive in Canada next week! It won’t be long ☺️
Thanks for the great info Laurie.Thinkin about pulling the trigger on the 15" for the spring☺️☺️
It does get more depth and it helps to give a more accurate target ID on the deep stuff. It’s heavier than the stock coil so watch your swinging technique. Since the Equinox is so light I found myself holding up the machine. Once I had the big coil, it was important for me to keep my elbow in and balance the weight in my hand instead of holding it up to swing. I can swing it 4-5 hours before I get fatigued. Holding it up 1-2 hours lol. I’m considering the sling for long hunts with it.
@@RelicDirtyhands Hi Laurie, have you considered using the Minelab Pro Swing 45 harness? I bought one because I'm getting up in age and I have a few health issues that restrict me from doing too much physical activity, it really helps me to be able to swing for longer periods of time without becoming fatigued. If you like swinging the 15" coil, maybe you can look into getting one. It's not cumbersome to me, it fits nicely and is a real arm saver. I swing the NOX 900 with the 11" coil and can hardly tell it's there. I did purchase the second side bar so as to have 1 on each side to balance it out. I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!!
@@CapnDanTreasures thank you, I actually just got one a few weeks ago! Anxious to give it a swing ☺️ I’m sure it will help ☺️
@@RelicDirtyhands without a doubt it will help greatly, when adjusted properly all you have to do is direct the coil where you want it to go, and the harness carries all the weight. I absolutely Love mine. Did you also purchase the opposite side bar? It definitely helps to balance it out. I'm trying to save enough to get the 14"x9", I'm retired and on a fixed income, it may take a while. lol Happy Hunting!!
@@CapnDanTreasures No, you’re the first person that mentioned getting the other bar, I may have to try that ☺️ I really loved the 14x9, for a long time it was my preferred coil. Coils are expensive but it is really nice to have the extra tools. I’ve been using the Manticore for a while now with just the stock coil. I’m so happy because I just received the M8 and M15. I missed having additional coils when I needed them.
Love my 10x5 .
So do I ☺️👍
Great video. New Sub here, just saw you both on Maer Videos live stream.
Thank you so much! What a great show that was! Thank you so much for stopping in :)
like your video was hearing a lot about these coils and im going to get the smaller one to complement my other minelab coils are they plug and play or do you have to reset the detector before you use them after changing coils as i have all my coils own their own bottom shaft for quick changeover
I love that small coil, it’s plug and play! I haven’t noticed the need to do a manufacturer reset when I switch coils.
I Love how helpful all your videos are on all things equinox. I have been waiting for the coiltek 14 x 9 to come back into stock and wonder which I would prefer more the smaller or the 14 x 9 . Thanks for useful info to help in my choice. Just one question for you, if the 14 x 9 is weighted do you feel it is a little on the heavy side.
Hello Diana, I do and I don’t depending on my location and how many targets there is.. on flat ground, grass and sand, I can scrub the coil on the ground for 5 plus hour hunt, without feeling the coils weight. I noticed in the woods or cut stubble farm fields. I had to hold up my coil above the not so even ground.. this is when I found that I couldn’t swing as long. The Equinox being such a light machine, you will notice a weight difference but it’s how you swing and the conditions of the site that makes the difference. It’s turned out to be my favourite coil to use ☺️.. I can’t say if it’s heavy as everyone’s tolerance, sites and techniques are different. For me I know I can hunt 4-5 hours in uneven terrain and longer on flat ground. I’m really looking forward to water hunting with it.. all my coils would float up but this one will be much easier to swing ☺️..
Thanks for your videos. I already have the minelab 6" coil, being a nugget hunter it gives me great sensitivity on tiny gold, I would love to gain some extra coverage with the 10"x5" coil, sensitivity wise how does it compare to the 6". Obviously I would expect some loss of sensitivity, but how much and how does it compare to the stock 11" coil. Sorry I may be asking how long is a piece of string.
I never compared the 6 and 10x5, the 11” is definitely deeper but is it as sensitive?. I tested both small coils on a small gold earring I had, both seemed to have similar depth and sensitivity.. it’s so hard to say but I can tell you the coverage you get with the 10x5 is a lot easier compared to the 6”.. ☺️👍
Great video, i consider to buy that 10x5 coil. Many times in forest than originan 11" coil feels a little bit too big.
That 10x5 is great in the forest, I could swing it all day long.. so easy to get in areas I couldn’t before.. love the 10x5!
Hello from the rising sun Japan I am a new subscriber
Wow all the way from Japan! Welcome to our channel! 👋☺️
I've been trying to decide on a 15" coil for my 800, thank you!
You're welcome :)
I was looking at pirrahna shovel from predator tools after watching your videos would you say it's worth it to get it with international shipping and all that or is there a local Canadian shovel thats just as good , I saw u guys moving trees with it
It’s the best one we have ever owned, it was gifted to us by a friend. We only have the one because it really does double in price after the shipping and duties. Is it worth paying it, eeee yes but there are others sold by Radioworld. It’s made by lesche, they are pretty tough but it’s still not the predictor piranha. It’s been 8 years ours still cuts, never bent and can still roll trees.. ☺️ I wish we could get them sold in Canada!
Just bought a EQU - 800 . Wo USJ these could be available in Malaysia. As I bought it a agent in Kl city . I am definitely steering towards the 15 inch coil 🤩👍
The 15” is a sweet deep coil. It’s a great pair up 👍
You said the 14x9 would be a good coil to use on plowed fields. Have you tried the 15” coil at all? Was there a difference? Currently I’m in the market to either purchase the 15 or the 14 x 9. I don’t water hunt at all so I could really care less about the weighted 14 x 9 coil because I know the 15 inch is lighter than a 14 x 9 but I was not sure if it performed just as good on plowed or if it’s more of a pasture open land type coil to where there’s less air in the dirt.
I've used both on the ploughed field.. Our field has a lot of iron as there used to be a tavern. Personally I preferred the 14x9 but I can swing it for about an hour less than the 15.. I Liked how it maneuvered over the rows of ploughed field.. I did notice a difference but again it was more about separation than anything else on this field.. But the 15 is deeper! They are both great coils...
@@RelicDirtyhands thank you. I would be using the 15 more in England on my trips not that iron on the fields i hunt. So I think i might give it a go.
Thanks for the reply.
I have not yet understood how the two coils work, symbolically. is an oval 10x5 or a small round coil more suitable for gold prospecting?
Not necessarily, The larger coils will get much deeper but the small 10x5 is the most sensitive to the smallest of targets.
Great
Thank you!
I recently purchased the 10x5 for my Nox. Do you have any pinpointing tips for this coil ? Does it pinpoint dead center or does it pinpoint off of the toe of the coil ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
Where the shaft meets the coil in the centre 👍
@@RelicDirtyhands Thanks for the reply. That's what I figured but I was having some issues pinpointing on center. In all honesty I haven't given it a fair test yet in the field. After I test it properly I'll let you know what I think. Thanks again, Jim
@@jimc4931 I also use pinpoint mode on difficult to isolate targets. 👍
How does the depth of the 14x9 compare to the OEM 11" coil for general hunting ?
I never did do a comparison depth test sorry.
Do yall make the coils in house? And can I get one of the 15" without weight added???
Yes they do make them at their factory. There isn’t added weight to the 15” that I’m aware of. ☺️
nice video
Thanks
Great information! Do you know where I can get the 10×5 coil?
Where are you located? Radioworld in Toronto will have some next week.
I live in Wisconsin.
@@edwardsmith4183 I read in a few groups no one can find them in the US right now.. Coiltek has been working extremely hard to fill the incredible amount of orders they have received. I hope some are on the way to the US as well 👍
@@RelicDirtyhands Thanks for the information. Keep up the great work.
I want all of them
Ha ha! It’s impossible to choose just one, they all have their place ☺️
How is the 14x9 in saltwater beaches in and out of the water??
I haven’t tried it in salt but Coiltek really knows it’s mineralization. I’ve only heard positive experiences ☺️👍
The coil ears are stronger then the stock coils?
Trevor from Coiltek had an interview and talked about the test. The shaft broke before the ears did.. now if you put enough strain on anything something will go... I’ve had my stock coil for three years and it’s never broke.. I never over tighten the bolt, just snug so it can still move with a bit of resistance.. too tight it bends the ears inwards. Any twist or added pressure they can brake. Lesson I learned 8 years ago on my other machine 😜
I'd be willing to pay for a tutorial for a how to use and maximise my Minelab 800 do you offer ?
I love the idea of creating a video tutorial on how to maximize the Minelab 800! I’ve tutored a lot of people but no one ever offered to pay me ☺️ In my playlist section on my channel page, I created a tutorial series on the Equinox. It’s a good base but not enough… tell me more about what type of sites you metal detect and the type of finds your searching for to start. I absolutely love talking about the Equinox and maximizing the experience and finds.. If you prefer you could send me an email. I believe my contact email is on my channel page. ☺️👍
Where in canada would i get this? I live in B.C.
Thanks
Radioworld in Toronto should have received the shipment or really close to receiving. 👍
How deep will the 15" detect?
We haven’t done depth tests but we did did find a coin at around 11 inches.
Great Video ! My problem in the USA is finding a dealer that has the 10 x 5 . I can't seem to find anyone that has one in the USA for sale and can ship out immediately. Have another friend that has all three on order and can't receive them in also. Any dealer help would be greatly appreciated.
It’s pretty crazy, Coiltek has been working really hard to fill all the orders coming in. I’m hearing this from people around the world. 🤞let’s hope the shipment to the US is also on its way.
Where can I buy a 10x5? Thank You Kindly.
You could could contact Coiltek through their website. They will let you know where you can purchase one. ☺️
Thank You Kindly. Stay Safe 😊
@@Onyxnewyork you’re welcome, you will love that coil!
I’m looking for a Coiltek 10X5 no one has one?
I think Radioworld in Canada has them. Not sure if it helps.
Over priced up there
@@stevenvaith99 it’s in Canadian dollars, are you in the US?
killme prices on the coiltek coils..... but it is whatever the marketplace will bear right? RAWR!
:( maybe next year?
The stock coil is an amazing coil as well.. :)
this coil use in nokta anfibio metal detector
No, they are for the Minelab Equinox 👍
They are heavy I’ve been hearing from the tester.
The 10x5 is light and I can swing it all day, the 15 I can swing for about 5 hours and the 14x9 a little less. Before the equinox I swung heavier detectors.. I may invest in a pro swing if I need the large coil for longer hunts. Or start a good exercise routine lol
Nope nuffin there gets my attention. I'm still looking for a proper coil that digs it's own holes.
Ha ha, that would be sweet!
@@RelicDirtyhands To right it would. I hope someone is perfecting it somewhere.
Russia aka company matel dektar coil ts chanjins
Coiltek is an Australian company. Unsure what you are trying to say ☺️
As for the big coil, Its useless on the beaches i am searching. And they are a lot of beaches! To Many mineralisation. So you have to screw down the sensitivity! Pinpointing is bad, in the water to much drag, So,,,, is it worth the money? In my opinion; NO! Its only deeper in theorie ( fabric test!) not in practice on a beach, or any field or park or whatever. Less sensitivity is less deeper! the bigger,,, the more signals are coming to the computer. Whatever brand u use. Are you sponsored ( payed) by the coil brand? Simple,,,You just can not have both,,,, bigger,,,,, and deeper . It is in practice realy bullshit! ( 42 years detecting) The small one,,,,well done! So, the theory is a fairytail! Regards jeff
Sorry you feel that way, we experienced more depth on our fields. It also depends on the settings you chose. I have no problem pinpointing with it unless I’m trying to use it in areas with higher trash. It’s so important in high mineralized conditions to have a stable machine, sensitivity doesn’t change the depth, it amplifies faint week targets. A reduced Recovery speed is what will give you more depth. I personally find the combination of settings and coils have been great. Regards Laurie
