The XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover does not measurably affect detection depth or sensitivity when properly installed. The thin polymer construction sits flush against the coil housing without adding significant distance between the coil and the ground. Field tests show no difference in target response or depth readings on coin-sized targets in air tests or buried-target scenarios. The cover's grid pattern allows electromagnetic fields to pass through without attenuation. Any perceived depth loss is typically due to improper installation or debris trapped between the cover and coil, so ensure a clean, tight fit before hunting.
