Had an issue with one of their Minelab compatible batteries. Worked fine, but something had come loose and was clunking about inside. I posted a message on an Aussie forum (as I figured there's a lot more Minelab users over there). The Managing Director of Coiltek got in contact shortly afterwards and arranged a replacement - now that's what I call excellent customer service! This was back in June, but I've only just thought about it again as I dust off the toys now it's getting warmer. The post: http://golddetecting.4umer.net/t9415-something-loose-in-my-coiltek-minelab-battery Coiltek gear: http://www.coiltekmanufacturing.com.au/ And no, I'm not getting paid to promote them ;) Just like to give credit where it's due.

I thought mono coils were supposed to be better if you don't need to use a discriminate mode and not borrowing your wifes? Though maybe not for a GP 3000? Really don't know - I recommend kicking off another thread n the forums to see if anyone else might know ;)

Awkward? Did you wipe up and apologise?
