My first z became noisy, sent of to minelab 2 months out of warranty and came with their opinion nothing wrong,
I put it down to the coil.
Opened it up to find the plastic bolts holding the coil inside the housing rattled loose probably from the Corry,
Why these coils aren’t filled has got me buggered and not surprised 6000 coils are buggering up
The result was the shielding on the bottom of the coil had worn from rubbing on the base plate making the machine noisy.
Bought this up with Minelab and told they don’t repair coils, at the time it was about 1500 for a coil.
Ended up buying a new machine, nothing worse than driving 700km with a crap machine and wasn’t prepared to pay 1500 if it was the machine not the coil.
Simply put minelabs coils are a let down.
$11000 for coil floating in a plastic bags?
