When I bought my GBSE I had to get the 11" DD coil from a third party, no names but the seller believed that all the coils were the same at that time. My coil says teknetics on it,not fisher. I dont see any other marks on it,no part number etc... I dont mean to ask stupid questions,but how do you tell a 11"DD F75 coil from a 11"DD GBSE coil???? I need to know if I have been using the wrong coil for 6 months. That would suck, and I'm really curious today because yesterday I used the small coil that the GBSE came with and found several old coins.

So how do you tell what series coil you have?

All of the F Series coils that I have seen have the Fisher decal on them. My GBSE also came with a coil that had no decal on it, so unless you send it to Fisher to have it "Certified" you will never know unless there is a self ohm test that you could do to compare it to the F series coils. I used my G2 coil on my GBSE and it mirrored the performance of my "No Name" Coil.......................Mark

The coil that came with the G2 says Teknetics and works on the Omega.

The T2 and the other Tek coil are wried differently. I have a Tek coil for my GB and it works perfectly. Greek series.

The F5, Omega 8000 and the Gold Bug SE / Pro and the G2 all use the same coils (5" DD and 11" DD). A coil for the F75 may work or may not work, there has been some mixed results.
Any of the coils for the F5 (Fisher) and Greek series (Teknetics Omega, Gamma, Delta and Alpha) should work on the G2 / Gold Bug SE / Pro, but in saying that, Dave J. has made it clear in a number of posts that the Gold Bug SE / Pro and G2 was designed to work with DD coils only (5" DD & 11" DD).
The fact that some 8" and 10" coils from other metal detectors (ie Greek series) work on the Gold Bug SE / Pro / Teknetics G2 was a bonus, but Fisher / Teknetics has not released any Press Releases saying that these other coils can be purchased / used on them officially. Until that time, you are limited to the DD (Fisher Gold Bug SE / Pro / Teknetics G2 / Omega 8000) coils unless you want to take the risk of using another coil from the Greek series / F5 detectors, ie, the 8" and 10" coils.
Also, note, the coils for the F5 need to have the screw lock type of plug and not the push in type unless you know how to make an adapter similar to the one below.
(Note: You do this at your own risk I might add).
The adaptor below allows me to use the coils from the Greek series and Gold Bug SE / Pro / G2 on my F5.
