super goldsearch coil minelab

Hi,
can i use super goldsearch coil from minelab with GPX 5000?It is green,round mono coil.

Any GP, SD or GPX coil will work on the GPX series.
It just doesnt use Litz wire... so performance will not be the same as the Commander Series

Minelab do not recommend using coils from the SD era with current GPX technology, whereas commander coils are backward compatible.

All MInelab coils right back to the SD 2000 were wound with Litz, however parameters have changed over the years along with construction methods so it is recommend to use current coils with the later detectors which are back wards compatible with previous models.

I have heard of people using the older green twin shelled Kevlar mono coils with the GPX 5000, I would not recommend using the old Garbage bin lids type ones that came out with the SD2000.
