A few days ago I was detecting along one of my favourite beaches and enjoying the usual state for a Tasmanian beach, no people, and very few targets. When I was surprised to find a woman standing just behind me saying
Dave.....I give you an "A" for effort I hope that you eventually find your target.
Do I see one of the solid coil covers on your coil? I've got one. Haven't used it yet though. How do you like yours? It looks like it would fill with sand and get heavy but I guess if one were to dunk it in the water regularly that it would be ok? I noticed too that the cover is a little difficult to put on and take off of the coil.
Yes I use the solid coil cover it saves a lot of wear and tear on the bottom of the coil, some areas of the beach are very rocky, so a bit of protection helps.
I do exactly what you said I dunk it in the water to clear any build of sand and this works well.
If I detect in the water I take the cover off as it makes the coil to hard too move through the water.
You are right it is difficult to take on and off, but I use 2 plastic paint scrapers and gradually ease it off the coil. Putting it back is easier.
