isn't this fun, someone needs a 180 meter, I need a Sovereign 8 0r even a 10 Tornado coil for a XS 2 I got Really any Minelab BBS coil, I had a brand new 8 inch tornado coil I had for a few years and when I went to use it the coil wire is all cracked up, could have sold it before I knew the cable on the 8 inch I had was bad, glad i didnt sell it as I need that coil now and the cable is all cracked up. The one that I got with the XS2 had a 8 inch Tornado coil also, but the person I bough the Sovereign from Thought I could be able to fix the coil with a new cable with no problem, but the new cable has the 4 wires, but the colors are 3 black wires and one 1 white wire. I mark the wires as there was numbers on the wire, but I got it epoxy in down by the coil The numbers rubbed off the wire that go to the connector and I lost the diagram which I had for which wires I mounted and epoxy to the coil so I could put the connector on. I tried a few time to see what is what, but seem to get a coil that works backward as when running coin across it the threshold nulls out.. Now the new coil with the cracking cable from sitting I am afraid to even try to change the cable on. Could put heat shrink on it, but will make the cable hard to wrap on the shaft as the inter small wires are great yet. When I got it it had a 550 meter, but I had the resistors to make it a 180 meter as they are the best for me and others. My other option as I know I read where some one can change the cable, but not remember who (that is from me getting old) as I would like to have it done.
I see SovElite is looking for a nice GT which I have, but It only been used a little and is loaded with the S-Probe the SunRay DTI 3 meter, but have too much into it to quote a price as I love this detector and when and if I can get out to detect again I hate to not have it as we see none want to part with their GT, plus talking on taking it with me when I go and sure hope I can handle the heat if i go down, but hoping to join many of the other treasure hunter that are gone in the big person in the sky as i am sure it will be real Heaven
When I was selling Sovereign I took a lot of the 550 meters in a wish I had them know so convert to 180 and resell, same as the coils most were the Coinsearch coil and people wanted the new 8 or 10 inch water proof coil. The big problem now is the Sovereigns have the BBS coil and the only one were on the Sovereigns and Excaliburs and no other coil will work on them and being they are no longer being built there is no coils for them so being scarce they are not cheap for those that have any good coil.
If anyone knows of someone that can replace the cables on my 2 8 inch Tornado coil let me know so i can get my XS2 going or maybe sell it.
