The coil on the Tesoro Lobo Super Trac.........

[TominCincy]

where does it say that the coil is Double D. I read that the coil is a 10" Elliptical widescan Coil. That does not sound like a double D to me. Does anyone know for sure?

From the Tesoro site:


There are two main types of searchcoils currently on the market – the concentric and the widescan.

The concentric coil uses two round antennas, one inside the other. This coil is used on most detectors that are designed for coin, jewelry, and relic hunting. Concentric coils discriminate very well and pinpoint very easily because the strongest signal is always in the center of the coil.

Widescan coils use two D-shaped antennas that are placed back to back. Because of this configuration, they are also called “double-d” coils. The widescan coil is less affected by mineralization than the concentric, so it is generally used for gold prospecting or relic hunting in bad ground. Pinpointing is done with the heel or toe of the coil. After determining the type of coil that is best for your type of hunting, the next thing to consider is the size.

Thanks for the information Mrs, Oroblanco.

The LST was designed for gold prospecting and has a stock 5 x 10 DD coil..
Wide Scan coils are DD config. Concentric coils are Narrow scan and are mainly used with coin and relic detectors where good discrimination and pinpointing is required. These coils do not handle highly iron mineralised ground very well as found in the gold fields.

Double D for sure!
