Unidentified Coil

[Kasta]

Hi all

Need some advise on this search coil, I have no idea of its make & type is it a DD or Mono?.
It came with my GPX 4500
Measures 24 x 12 inches
Really appreciate it.

Apologies its 23 x 12 inches

By the shape of it I would say a coiltek UFO mono coil,should be a terracotta colour if I am correct

Hi Peko

Thank for the response.

The colour is black, is this still a coiltek? are they ok?
I haven't seen many around.

Did you not ask the person you bought it from :| can you ask them, pretty sure it will be quickest way to get the answer you want. If I was buying it I'd of asked in the first place.

Apart from the colour of the mystery coil being black, the 24" Coiltek UFO has a distinctive single-sided shaft attachment which this coil lacks:

Hi RM

I sure did ask the guy were I bought it from, he couldn't remember the make as well he originally obtained it from a friend.

So It looks like I now have a UFO no one can identify lol..

Could be a prototype that someone was given for testing? This could explain the different colour?
Painted?
There appears to have been UFO coils with a standard type centre mount too:

Maybe contact Trevor https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/profile.php?id=6576
