Should be here second week of March, with Platypus coils.
Only 7 Platypus left from this first shipment.
Thanks for your patience!

Doc,
After spending most of today out with a Platypus / Quattro combination, I have to reiterate the comments in my report I sent you as far as it being a perfect replacement coil for the Explorer or Quattro as an everday use coil. The big benefits are better balance and lighter weight which really is evident after a few hours of swinging the detector. The response to targets is a tad sharper as well plus you can get around rocks and tree roots better than the round stock coil.
The smaller and larger coils have their specific applications; however, this the Platyus is a true general purpose coil that you can leave on most of the time.
Looking forward to seeing what others have to say once the shipments start arriving . . . .

think I or COILTEK or anyone associated with us pay Andy for these endorsements, we do not.
Andy has never received any compensation for field tests he does for us. What good is a field test if you are paying someone to do it ? Sort of unethical and a blatant conflict of interest if you ask me !
How is someone supposed to be objective when you are lining their pocket with cash. Andy doesn't work that way, and neither does COILTEK. And trust me, there have been some coils that Andy has told us, "Don't see that it does anything different, I don't see any improvement at all !"
He recently told us that about an experimental coil, and we just trashed the design. It wasn't a bad coil, it just wasn't one that did anything any better than any other coil.
We give him a product, and he tests it, and we take the results, good or bad !
If it is good, we plow ahead. If it is bad, we go back to the drawing board.
It is of no value to us to have a biased field test, that doesn't help us design better coils !
The only thing Andy ever receives is that we allow him to keep the prototype, to save him the expense of shipping it back. But if the prototype is crappy then he gets to keep a crappy protoype, WOW some reward !
COILTEK will not intoduce a ho hum coil to the market. It has to be a coil which has shown a significant improvement over coils currently available.
I have to be honest with you !
When Andy first got the coil, before he used it, he emailed me and said, "What niche is this supposed to fill? It's about the same size as the stock coil!"
I said, "Dam if I know, but the guys at COILTEK said it's a kickin' coil with great balance, light weight, a little better coverage than the stock coil, and easier to manuever. It's thinner, etc. etc. Oh yeah, and it's ORANGE, and we all know Orange coils go deeper !"
So Andy took it out and tested it, and if anything, given his prior remarks, I think he was very skeptical as to why anyone would bother with this coil.
So as you can see, his opinion about this coil before he used it seemed to have had a negative bias.
I'm delighted to see that the proof is in the pudding, or is it "in the digging?"
Thanks again Andy!

Hi Doc,
I've been wanting to speak with you about buying one of the first shippment of Platypus coils.
I have enough in my Paypal account to wire you the funds if that's ok with you.
Please let me know it you'll take Paypal, I will add on extra to cover the paypal fees.
Also, If you can accept Paypal please enclude your Paypal account address.
Thanks Doc,
Paul (Ca)
 
Darn Sory about posting this thread Doc, Meant to sent it through email instead.
Thnaks, Paul (Ca)
 
Phoned the UK main dealer yesterday and they can not even guess when any Platypus coils may arrive in the UK. Bitter and twisted - moi!
 
Lets say I buy the Platapus, and ok its a better coil than stock, so my question is would getting the WOT once you have the Platapus be a waste of money?
I'm thinking of buying one or the other. Now the question is which one?
