[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 658655, member: 12139"] I've tested several brand GPX mono coils on the bench (using several test instruments) and compared results against similar shape and size coils by ML. The only performance advantage I see going from ML to aftermarket coils is the gain one might get going to flat wound as opposed to a bundle wound, plus aftermarket maybe a bit beefier... more durable. I test ~8 different parameters. Some coils test horrible, some very good when compared to ML but nothing so far has tested better. My detecting buddy gave me a few coil types I didn't have so my test database grew & made more sense. It was no surprise what his favorite coil was after testing all his coils. I told him what coil of his gave the best result, his reply was... that coils his favorite! My advice; - choose a coil for a purpose, not what its proclaimed to do - choose a quality constructed coil - choose a quality manufacture who supports their coils - choose a coil thats proven in the field - choose a coil for a purpose, not what its proclaimed to do Lastly, choose a coil for a purpose, not what its proclaimed to do!
