I've used my Deus 2 for almost two years now. My 11"coil went bad the other day so I sent it in to be repaired or replaced. I always use a coil cover. I do a lot of hard detecting in heavy brush. There is no cover for the top of the coil. When the Deus repair tech called me he said I put a hole in the top of the coil and was not covered under warranty. To my surprise, I some how put a hole in the top of the coil. Time to get a 9'' coil!

You're going to like the 9" coil.
It's better in the bush settings.

Is the 11" fried?

I guess so! 😲

Good to know there's a potential weak spot in that location on these coils.

Sometimes, the way things either get tossed in the back of the car or bounced around while driving, I can envision that kind of mishap occurring in other ways. It makes me glad I got the case.
