I am considering stocking waterproof coils for the GPX Series and Eureka Gold detectors. Minelab only supply these detectors with dry coils as standard so I would like to get some feedback from local users regarding whether there is actually any demand for waterproof coils for those machines and if so which models you have. You could either reply here or PM me if you prefer. All replies will go in one draw for a Minelab cap and a copy of Fossmag 2 to be drawn this Friday the 22nd of November. Thanks in advance for your input. Regards, Chris Goodson DetectNZ

This had to be got in aussie as no one in nz had them,it was a xmas gift from my wife and she did a great job getting it. I have used it a few times and some interesting have finds have come to the surface. I use a 2100 minelab. There is a need for an agent here in nz at the right price. Thanks

I would love to see you stocking the coiltek coils for the x-terra's however though MK.
