Coil Covers: Yay or nay?
Are coil covers necessary. What do the coils really need protection from?
Does the scuffing really cause longterm damage?

Cracks from hitting rocks can be a problem, but primary reason is if not used the bottom outer edges will start delaminating, sides seperating from bottom which allows water inside coil. If it is under warranty and they see mo cover was used it voids your warranty.

I looked into all the DIY cover options and it just makes more sense to buy one. I always try to talk myself out of buying a coil cover and then end up getting one anyway. If you ever decide to sell the detector you'll be glad you were using a cover.

The simple answer is cost... Cost of a coil cover vs cost of a new coil. I'll pay for the coil cover every time, and in turn, sooner or later, it'll pay me back by saving my coil.
Money may not grow on trees, but it's often found under them!

I look at it this way, coils are expensive, I am rough on stuff, coil covers are cheap so I would rather be safe than sorry.

Diggin up TEXAS!
This question gets brought up alot...and answered the same.
Its about the same as a brand new phone with no case for it.
YES, you would want to protect your coil, people think the terrain is always going to be the same, but there are many areas where rocks are all over the place and it takes one little tap to crack that coil.
Covers do not cost much

"Is that a Geiger Counter?"
I have them on all my coils - mostly to protect from rock strikes (epoxy resin the coil sets in is brittle). And any scuffs are on the replaceable/refinishable cover.
But I do remove and clean them frequently.

America was founded by tough hell-raisers. Rugged citizens who evaded taxes, spoke strongly against tyranny, grew tobacco, brewed beer, distilled spirits, and smuggled weapons. And it will be saved by those same types of citizens.

In my opinion this says it all.
