Coil question

Has there been a problem with "coil ear breakage" on the Minelab 6" coils for the Equinox detectors?

Mine has not broke and I use it a lot!..I think the 11" put more strain on it..you can almost tell it wants to snap off?

I've had no issues with the 6" coil but I just, this morning, finished repairing my buddy's 11" coil. Cut new additional ears out of ABS plastic. Reattached the original ears with Black ABS cement then attached the new ears using the same cement. The ears are now twice a thick as the originals. I did this on a Macro Racer coil a few years back and and it's still going strong.

Nope.
