Do you know how to make coils?
Making your own coils requires knowledge in electronics knowing how many turns to have.
I am wondering if a coil base can be made using a 3D printer and wire from a transformer can be used for the wire wounds.
I wish I had a 3D printer and also I wish I knew of...

Hey everyone, I'm looking at getting myself a little graduation present in the form of a smaller coil for my trusty old pro. I do a lot of diving in the summer and would like a small coil to get down in crevices that I can also use in the trashy parks nearby. Thanks in advance for any advice...
I have ORX with hf Elliptical coil and till now happy with it, few days ago purchased x35 11 but its to heavy for my taste, since elliptical coil does not have much depth, i was thinking to exchange x35 11 coil with hf9 round coil to gain depth since in my tests small mini medieval coins are not...

Hi, my father and I both have an Equinox 800.
My father bought the 15" coil and he's away for a few days, so i'm thinking of trying it out on the beach.
My question is not about more coverage, but depth.
Is the 15" coil truly much deeper than the standard Equinox coil on the beach?
I will be...
here is my limited understanding of coils.
Concentric coil search pattern is cone shaped with the point being at the deepest.
They are good for pinpointing deep targets.
But it seems that if you have a coin at the point of the cone and trash in the wider upper coin you have a problem with...
I have posted this in the Brands forum and have had no response. Hope to find someone out there with some advice.
I have been at it for about a year now and use a Garrett AT MAX. I have had good luck with it thus far, obviously it could always be better. I've primarily used the stock coil, and...
This is a Garrett at pro purchased in May of 2016 from big boys hobbies. It comes with stock garrett 8.5 x 11inch coil and garrett 5x8 inch DD coil. Both coils have covers as well. It also comes with RNB rechargeable battery and charger that is less than 1 year old. Stock Garrett headphones and...
My original 10" DD coil is looking shabby - outer wire casing breaking all apart exposing interior wires. I've taped it all up and still continues to work, but I think its time to look at a replacement. Anyone have any experience with some of the replacements available? Suggestions for good...
I plan on detecting an old baseball field that was used from the 1930's to the 1950's. I detected the area before and left frustrated and skunked using the stock ATP 8.5 x 11 coil due to the huge amount of bottle caps that were there. I want to try it again, this time using a smaller coil for...
Looking to trade my 11" XP Deus coil for a 9" coil. My coil is 8 months old and in good condition. Comes with Charging Clip, cord and plug along with lower rod, coil, and coil cover. Will consider other coils for Deus and cash offers. Let me know if you are interested, Thanks!
I'm going to buy an Garett AT Pro soon, so when I'm gonna buy it, I will probably buy it with a larger coil. But if you want to have a smaller coil on it sometime when your out metal detecting can you put on an smaller coil from my Garett Ace 250 on the AT Pro?
Thank you
I am planning on reworking my current excalibur setup to better suit the New Jersey beaches I exclusively hunt. My current setup is a blue excal 800 with a Coiltek WOL, headphone mod and remote pinpoint, and feel I am still leaving alot on the beaches as I need to run the sensitivity rather...
I'm looking for some expertise in building a simple detector circuit and coil for a unique detecting task. I would like to keep the information private (for now) since this task is part of a competition. Mainly I need to figure out which type of coil to proceed with and size as well as a home...
Okay guys, here's my dilemma: I've been hunting with my vaquero with the stock 9x8 concentric coil for the past 6 months, mostly parks and yards. Now that I've got the hang of the machine, I'm ready to take the next step. Should I upgrade to the 11x8 widescan coil, or get a pinpointer? If you...

I recently purchased my ATP and instantly fell in love. I have a good bit of land to search, my problem is the land is very trashy. At one point in time one of my properties was a junk yard, but it also had some historical buildings (old school, business) on it. Which coils would you all...

Hi, I own a Coinmaster GT, and I love it, but I want to go deeper.
I don't want a huge coil, it'll make it hard to pinpoint,and I dont want a tiny hockey-puck like coil for trashy areas.
There is not really a lot of trash in the ground in my area, and targets are close enough that I do not...
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to buy a Tesoro Sand Shark for salt water beach detecting.
I'm stuck on whether I should get the 8 inch coil or the 10.5 inch coil. I have read that pinpointing is easier with the 8" and that the coil doesn't flip as easily as the 10.5 inch when in the water. I've...
