Need a new search coil for my V3i asm y stock 10DD coil went bad. Any suggestions?

[zrickkid]

My 10"DD stock V3 coil finally crapped out. Whites guy Tony at electronic exploration is just up the road a mile or two and he confirmed it. So....i was thinking of the 12" or the 8x14". I already have the 4x6 shooter coil. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hunt a lot of older parks and wooded areas and I just recently started to hunt more on older homes on private property. Let me know what you Whites guys think!!

Your kidding me right, a whites 10"D2 coil died????
Just kidding if you did not know they had a ton of problems with them.
You might want to contact Whites and tell them. you just might just get a new one for free....

My old D2 coil (orange label) died on me last year so I put the one that came with my V3i on (much heavier) and it's been working actually better than the old one I think with less false signals than the old one. I would still buy an orange label one new if I could find one though cause they're remarkably light in construction.

The new 10"D2 coils are what they call "V" rated! something about a better "null", that might be why it worked better.

It is also a v rated coil as well even though it did come out before the vision the V is embossed on the mounting ear like the V nulled coils are. I still have the coil and have been thinking about sending it in cause they can and do repair them. I'm also a member of geotech forum which is basically Carls forum I think, the guy that's an engineer for Whites electronics, I did check the forum for ways of nulling a coil but didn't see too much on DD coils but that's been quite some time ago and I might look more into it again to see if I can fix it myself.

Thanks for the heads up on that forum, gonna check it out!

Give White's a call, they might surprise you with their reply.
Also they can repair coils quite often for a fraction of the price of a new coil.

If you do buy a new one, I recommend the 6x10. I have done well with it in old sites and modern parks alike. I think it offers both good coverage and good separation -- at least over the 950 that came with my VX3. I know people swear by the D2 but I've not gotten my hands on one yet.

[happycamper08]

Are the sef coils for whites V rated?

[del]

yes , this was the difference between the dfx s.e.f coils and the v3i.

I suggest contacting White's. The newer 10D2's are much better than the originals, and they might replace yours.

IMHO, that's the best coil White's ever made, and I've had 'em all.

My opinion of the coil is even higher (though probably less humble) right now, because it just helped me get my first Seated Half. Pretty stoked right now!

I also like the Eclipse 5.3, though, for trashier areas.

I'd also recommend the 6x10 if you want to get another coil. Nice and light and probably the coil I tend to use most often these days.
