How important is using a coil cover???

If you are hunting in water with a sand or rocky bottom often, they should be used.

Yeah, if you are just sweeping in the grass you really don't need one. Some guys on here don't use any at all...it's a matter of preference really. If you start getting into sand and rocks, a cover will definately extend the life of the coil. Or at the very least will keep your coil scratch-free.westwardHO

Appreciate the information, can't wait to get out with it, know of some really old homesteads that have not been MD'd
I just started last spring and I use the Ace250 with the stock coil and the sniper. I've never used the dust cover and have no intentions of getting one. The bottom of the stock coil is a little scratched but I cant imagine that it will effect the performance. I try to be careful with it, but you can't completely avoid "tapping it gently" on fence posts, rocks, tree trunks, etc. Still works fine. Personally, I think that it's one more thing that they would like to sell to all of us

when i got my ace 250, the dealer said the most important thing that goes with it is the coil cover. I asked him if getting a scratch on the coil affects it's preformance, he said no. he said it will just make it ugly and it will sell for less. I would plan on using it in a grassy area and figuring out if you are going to keep the detector for a long time. if you are, dont buy the cover. if you plan on getting a better detector in a year or so, get the cover.
I guess it depends how often you hunt and how you take care of swings,,,,,,
