Got my new HF Coil But.....

[Sleepyjim]

First thoughts are not all great......

First, the coil cover seems large on the thikness scale or mine is at least and thus the charging clip is maxed out to put on, not a good thing at all....

Second no dang clip or cord for charging, now maybe I didn't get one when I bought the 11" but I thought I did.....(Gettin old)

Third, and we all know this already, it is white....WHo in the heck said hey they will be in dirt, mud pasture poop, let make them white! OH and EVERYTHING else on the Dues is black so lets make them white!


LOL Ok, not I can not wait to try it out and learn it.....

A little bit of spray paint should take care of the whiteness.

I thought these coils had the battery in the lower rod and were charged differently?

Considering the new HF coil are mainly biased towards gold detecting, they will mainly be utilised in countries with extremes of heat - something that doesn't play well with black plastics and the stability of the coil (black tends to absorb more heat), hence the move to white plastics.

None of my previous coils came with cables nor charging clips.

Ok I can see that, white is ok.....Just wanted to know the thinking behind it and I knew someone had a brain.........LOL

if it dosnt stain then it will be great some plastics are porous others are not lets hope they get that and it just wipes off clean and white the other reason would be if grabbing a coil people will know which one they have.

XP seem pretty switched on which is good for us..

let us know how it cleans up?

thanks.

Joe,

The battery is in the stem but the charging port is in the same location and uses the same charging clip.

Temperature is critical with the frequency so XP chose a white housing to reflect sunlight and avoid heat issues.

yeah I think we got that, although a lot of PI coils are black , but anyway what we need to know now does it stain or does it wipe clean?

cheers for the help.
