[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 400968, member: 4012"] Like some other recent Minelab detectors (eg. CTX), the Equinox uses so-called "smart" coil technology, supposedly to prevent counterfeiting. A proprietary chip embedded in each coil is interrogated by the control box when the detector is switched on and unless the coil is verified as genuine, the detector will not operate. So aftermarket coils will only exist with the blessing of Minelab, who control the supply of the properly-encoded chips. [/QUOTE]
