I have learned a lot through the good grace of this forums members. However there is one thing that I am totally confused about. I have done some serious research all over the web concerning coil covers. Here are the results.
• Some will not hunt without one citing that coil wear and damage is a common occurrence. Some say that it is only needed in rocky terrain or heavy overgrowth. It is not needed for beach hunting.
• Others state that it is absolutely needed for the beach as sand is very abrasive,
• Some say the covers are a problem because of Dirt entering between the cover and coil. And That the covers are difficult to remove in order to clean. Some coat the coil with toothpaste or silicone to help future removal.
• Others seal the cover’s lip with silicone to prevent dirt from entering. Some claim this doesn’t work and makes it more difficult to remove.
• Some coat the coil with truck bed liner, plasticoat or silicone in lieu of a cover.
• Others state they have been hunting for years, in all terrains without a cover and have had no coil problems as a result of excessive wear.
• Many say if you use it the way it was intended, there is no need for a cover
• Some said the covers affect depth detection.
• And as one said, If they were needed why are they not supplied with the detector?
I don’t know what to make of this. Do I need a cover? Should I spray the coil with some sort of protection? Or should I just leave well enough alone?
