This complete upgrade package transforms your CTX 3030 with maximum detection depth and ultra-lightweight handling.

- Superior ground coverage - Wide elliptical footprint covers more area per sweep

Perfect for Open Ground Hunting
The 17-inch coil really shines in open areas like fields, parks, and beaches where you need maximum depth and ground coverage. It's particularly effective for finding deeper silver coins, relics, and larger targets that smaller coils might miss. The elliptical shape maintains good target separation while giving you that extra reach.
Having a dedicated carbon fiber shaft means you can keep this large coil mounted and ready. When you're switching between your standard 11-inch coil for trashy areas and this 17-inch for open ground, you'll appreciate not having to swap coils constantly. The Minelab carbon fiber construction is noticeably lighter than the standard shaft, which matters when you're swinging a larger coil.

This package includes everything you need: the waterproof 17×13-inch Smart Coil, carbon fiber lower shaft, protective coil cover, and all mounting hardware. It's designed specifically for the Minelab CTX 3030 and maintains full Smart Coil functionality with automatic coil recognition.
