Garrett Metal Detectors is a leader in the field of detector manufacturing. They are constantly innovating and developing their technology and brand. Garrett provides a variety of coils for most of their metal detectors. Different sizes and shapes of a metal detector coil can help you reach deeper into the ground and allows you to detect areas that may otherwise be difficult to metal detect.  

Small metal detector coils help you "snipe" or reach tight areas better than a large clunky coil will. Although you may lose a slight bit of depth, a smaller coil will help you hunt trashy areas by helping you avoid "iron masking" or detecting a desired target and an undesirable target simultaneously by detecting a smaller area with each sweep.

Larger coils such as the 8.5" x 11" Garret PROformance Double D search coil are optimized for maximum detection depth for small coil-sized relics. The PROformance coil offers superior searching along obstacles such as walls, fences, rocks, etc. 

If the treasure or gold nugget you're targeting is really deep, you may want to check out the Garrett GTI 2500 with the optional Eagle Eye Package that allows users to search several meters deep for large objects - perfect for looking for intentionally buried treasure caches. 

If you're not sure which Garrett search coil is right for you and you're in the area of our Olathe Kansas store, feel free to stop by. One of our expert detectorists will be happy to let you try out a new Garrett coil in our test field. We can help pair the right coil to your detector. 

A coil cover is a particularly important piece of equipment to use.  Coil covers protect one of the most valuable components of the metal detector - the search coil.  A search coil cover is meant to be put on the metal detector right out of the box and left on during operation.  They will not affect the depth or sensitivity or your metal detector and will keep you coil in great shape for years to come.
