Ok so, I bought myself a new fancy NEL coil and I was SUPER excited, damn thing came from the Ukraine so took freaking 3 weeks to get to me. I was happy as heck when I seen the Brown Truck! (actually I think it may have been USPS lol but what ever) I get it in the house, RIP RIGHT in to it with my knife, throw it on plug it in!...........................

CE. CE. CE lol which is Coil Error or course, I was like W....T....F, I was just so upset and bummed. Finally after unplugging it and plugging it back in 200 times just cause thats what you do when your pissed and something doesnt work lol you do it over and over in hopes that your wrong! after I got done with that I emailed the store and questioned it, they were super nice and said they will ship me a new coil ASAP as soon as the shipments come from NEL (which I think they said is today or tomorrow) anywhos a day later I get a email from the store with them mentioning that NEL Coils do not work on X-Terra models made in 2012 (because Minelab upgrade/changed the chip)! wellllllllllll !!! that would have been nice to know like I DON'T KNOW A MONTH AGO! lol.
The best part was when they thought I had a bad coil they said I could break it open and see if I could fix it, and check the solders blah blah blah, basically they did not want to pay the shipping for a broken coil back to them, luckily all I did was cut the little rubber shrink wrap to check the plug solders (which were of course fine) so was nothing major because now they said for a refund I have to send them back the Coil lol.
In a nutshell, if you have a 2012 X-Terra, then DO NOT buy a NEL Coil until they have upgraded the chip, or you will be waiting a month for a large paper weight! Guess thats why its best to go with the 15" Coiltek, which is what I will be getting I guess instead, Though I REALLY liked the shape and size of the Hunter NEL =[ I know Coiltek makes a similar sized called Platypus but I don't think that is Minelab Approved like the 15"
