CTX 11" coil getting better?

[Crusty]

I've been reading a few comments here and there so it has got me to thinking.
This question is for the people who for whatever reason have had their first run CTX standard 11" coil replaced by Minelab for a coil that would have been manufactured at a later date.

Has anyone found from personal experience that their replacement CTX coil of later manufacture is noticeably better than the original coil that came with their CTX back in May of June?

I hope so since mine was defective and waiting for my ctx to return to me. This is a good question and hope someone here answers it for you.

Hope so too, mine is most likely headed back tomorrow....

My first one was a bit quirky, then quit totally, so I cant honestly say the new one would have been better, deeper or more sensitive, but the new one is excellent!

Turns out according to Minelab America there is no difference between the first run CTX coils and the present ones being manufactured. Like any manufactured coil from any company there will be the odd bad one and the odd one that seems hotter than the others.

I will provide you with my assessment when I get mine back from Minelab...... At first I was very put out with such an expensive machine not working properly, but things happen and all you can ask is that they are taken care of. Minelab has been very stand up about it, paid return shipping charges and said it would be between 10 - 15 days. Bart at Big Boys Hobbies was outstanding with his support/help/trouble shooting. Yep, chit breaks down, its what the suppliers do when things break that matters and so far, I can't say a bad word about them.

I see these types of post all the time, same was said with the etrac, its the same coil people lol, minelab doesnt keep a better coil in their back pocket to release a few months after initial launch lmafo

You missed the point......no one thinks that. The question and point was if the first batch of CTX coils were not as good (hot) as later ones off the same manufacturering line. Wouldn't be the first time that has happened in the past by several companies. Doesn't matter here thought because Minelab has said all the 11" coils are the same as far a quality goes.....so I'm happy.
