Older Whites Coils and Blue Max Coils
Older Whites detector coils
On the left mounting tab of the coil, where the rod connects to it is the coil winding designation code. Examples ; 6B , D5 , G , B4 etc.....
D4 and D5 coils were used on the 6000/D and 6/DB detectors only !! These were available in 8 inch and 15 inch.
B4 and B5 coils were used on the 4/DB and 5000/D detectors only !! Available in 8 inch and 15 inch sizes.
6B coils were used on the "series 2" , the "series 3", the PRO units, the Classics, and on the Classic I SL and Classic II SL. The 6B coil sizes were 4 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch and 15 inch.
A "F" coil was made called a Blue Max 256, which was a 10 inch coil to be used on all the detectors that used the 6B coils. It was lighter than the standard 10 inch and was similar in performance to the present 9 1/2 inch coils. This is the ONLY Blue Max coil that you can use on the 6B detectors. All these coils were whites colored with a blue/white decals on the coil.
The present coils, most commonly called the Blue Max coils, used on the XLT, IDX series, PRL-1, Classic III, and Sierra Madre detectors, have the following codes on them ; 8B , G , HI, .
The Blue Max coils are available in these sizes ; 4 inch, 4X6 DD, 6 inch, 8 inch, 9 1/2 inch and 15 inch. They are known as the Blue Max 350, Blue Max 600, Bullseye 5.3, Blue Max 800, Royal 800, Blue Max 7.8, Blue Max 950, Precision Scan 950, and Blue Max 1500 . All these coils are interchangable. Most of these coils are black colored with many different color decals on the coil. They are NOT made to be used on units that take the 6B design !!!! Using these coils in place of the 6B coils will have varying results. The detector will not ground balance properly, DISC settings will be off, and target ID's will not be accurate. Similar problems will result in using the 6B coils on the 8B detectors, even though the connectors will fit on the control box, they are wired differently.

Excellent repost Robbie
Ineptocracy [in-ep-toc'-ra-cy] - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. There are three classes of people: those who see...those who see when shown...and those who do not see. - Leonardo da Vinci
