Minelab Excaliber ciol replacement

[polarcat550]

Hi,,
I bought a used Minelab Excalibur 11 1000 that was barely used but when I got it had to clean it and once I removed the ciol cover ,,sand fell which is normal but the coil though not cracked or pierced had dings and dents,,don't know why go to the trouble of having a coil cover if one is going to abuse the coil. My question: can I replace the coil with a new 10'' one as mine is 10'' or should I just put a clear varnish on the bottom of the coil after I wash it with mild soap.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks polarcat550

The coils can be replaced by Minelab, but it is OK as long as the performance is still up to speed. It is unfortunate that you have these "dents and dings", but just run the coil cover and all should be well. Be sure to wash out the coil cover after each hunt and it should be fine. I do not personally recommend coatings for coils, however some like Max prefer it.
