Does anyone use a coil saver?

[canEHdian]

Hi all, I am new to this hobby, and was wondering if anyone uses a coil saver on their MD?
I just purchased a new MD and was wondering if I should also purchase a coil saver?

Thanks for any advice

Yes I do, on all the Coils, there is one available for. about 4 years ago, while working a Lake site, a man pulled up along side me , to join in. While talking to him, he told me he had to Buy a new coil for his Machine, and pulled out his old one. The bottom was worn thru.? ? ? ? the best way to get the deep targets is to scrub the ground while detecting, IF you do alot of detecting and Alot of scrubbing, you DEFINATELY should have one.

It makes sense. Covers are cheaper then coils.

a PROCESS I use on coils they don't make covers to fit & are too large or small to use a Frisbee ; I tape the whole bottom with Black Electrical tape. I avoid Duct Tape on the coil, I read somewhere years ago it has metal in it. Not shure if it's true, but I don't want to risk it & block some of the signal.

You dont want to wear oout yer coil EH? It is the the best 5-10 dollars you will spend. Just make sure to take it off and clean between the cover and the coil once in a while or you can have ground balance trouble. You can run a small bead of silicone along the edge and that will keep the sand oout EH. Cladius.

I got one free with my Garrett GTI-2500... Only for the smaller 9.5" coil... I also got a 12.5" coil, but that didn't come with a cover.

I use them on all my coils. I however have never heard of anyone swinging enough to wear a hole in their coil. I spose it has happened. I use the covers to keep my coils looking better. Chea[er to replace a 10 dollar cover then a 100 dollar coil i guess.
