my ace 250 lost depth so i took the cover off and i was back to finding coins at 6 in.
it might be cheaper to replace the cover but i believe you find more. money found pays for the coil.
That does not make any since.

A coil cover will not affect the detector at all. I have bean detecting for a lot of years and I have had several diffrent detectors and accessory coils, all with coil covers, and there was never any loss of depth or any other affect what so ever from coil covers. I have never heard of anyone loosing any kind of depth until now.

It is a lot cheaper to replace a coil cover than a coil, that is for sure.
Take Care,
