The 17x11” (430x280mm) coil is one of the best all-round performing products Coiltek has produced. With a combined advantage of excellent depth and sensitivity it has outstanding performance ability in the majority of goldfields around the world. Being an extremely robust coil it has the capability of lasting many seasons in the field which will make this coil a primary choice when prospecting. Suited to the more open field where little or no overgrowth will hinder the swing it will provide an excellent coverage area to ensure a comfortable action. For a mid sized coil it is light and has good maneuverability ability and because it is not of the open web design it can help when there is long grass or sticks which need to be moved out of the way or pressed closer to the ground.
MONO operation hints & tips:
The MONO coil has also been one of the most popular coils we have produced as this coil was first introduced to the detecting community when the SD2100’s were released. It has superb sensitivity and depth capabilities and when swung close to the ground and at a slow speed it has the ability to find sub-gram nuggets at depth and also the larger ounce pieces at great depths. Being a mono coil it is better suited to the low to no mineralization areas for the SD and GP machines however since the introduction of the new GPX series detectors from Minelab these are being used in the high mineralized with great success. Its ability to pinpoint small targets is easy as the outer perimeter of the coil is its main sensitive area so the closer to the coil the target is the response is more to the outside of the coil. If tilted to one side when trying to locate a target in a dig hole pile it will ensure you get an accurate location quickly. Remember to overlap your swings with a MONO by at least half a coil to ensure you do not miss any targets.
