9" x 12" Search Coil Cover for Garrett ACE Series Detectors

This 9x12 coil cover fits the stock elliptical search coil on all Garrett ACE series detectors, including the ACE 200, ACE 300, ACE 400, and earlier ACE models that shipped with the 9-inch by 12-inch coil. ACE owners who upgraded to aftermarket coils should verify coil dimensions before ordering, as this cover is sized specifically for the 9x12 elliptical geometry. The cover is designed to protect your search coil from scratches and scuffs during field use, helping extend the life of your detector's most exposed component.

Stretch the cover over the front edge of the coil and pull it back toward the mounting bracket until it seats around the coil perimeter. Check that you're using the correct size for your coil, as this cover is designed for 9x12 elliptical coils only. Remove the cover periodically to inspect the coil for debris or moisture buildup underneath. Rinse both the cover and coil after wet-sand or muddy hunts to prevent grit from abrading the coil housing during storage. Proper installation ensures your search coil stays protected from wear while detecting in the field.

The cover is designed to guard your search coil from wear without interfering with your detector's performance. It provides protection from scratches and scuffs during field use while allowing your ACE detector to operate normally. The cover material allows the coil's signals to pass through during detection. Your detector's settings and capabilities remain functional with the cover installed, letting you hunt with confidence knowing your coil is protected from ground contact damage that can occur during sweeps across various terrain types.

This coil cover is designed to protect your search coil from scratches and scuffs during field use, including beach detecting. Use the cover to guard the coil from sand abrasion during dry-beach and wet-sand hunts. After beach hunts, rinse the cover with fresh water to flush salt and grit from the material. The cover helps extend coil life by preventing wear from repeated ground contact in sandy environments. For tips on maintaining your detector in coastal environments, see our metal detecting tips and FAQs page.

Cover lifespan depends on hunt frequency and terrain. Detectorists hunting regularly in parks and fields will see gradual wear as the material thins and develops small tears from repeated ground contact. Rocky sites and gravel paths accelerate wear, while manicured lawns and beaches are gentler on the material. Inspect the cover after each hunt for punctures or edge separation. A torn cover still provides some protection, but exposed sections allow dirt and moisture to reach the coil housing. Replace the cover when damage becomes extensive or when it no longer holds securely against the coil during use.

This cover is sized for the stock 9-inch by 12-inch elliptical coil that ships with Garrett ACE detectors. Aftermarket coils vary in geometry, and many use different dimensions or mounting configurations that won't match this cover's specifications. If you upgraded to a larger or smaller coil, measure the coil's length and width and compare them to this cover's 9x12 specification before ordering. Some aftermarket coil manufacturers include a fitted cover with the coil purchase. Check our metal detector parts & accessories section for covers sized to specific aftermarket coil models.

The cover is backed by the manufacturer warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship. If the cover arrives with a manufacturing defect such as a seam separation or material flaw, contact us for assistance. Inspect the cover upon arrival to ensure it matches the advertised dimensions and is free from defects. Save your order confirmation for warranty purposes. The cover is designed to protect your search coil from scratches and scuffs during normal field use, helping extend the life of your detector's coil housing.

Remove the cover before storing your ACE detector for extended periods. Peel the cover off, rinse both the cover and coil with fresh water, and let them air-dry separately before storage. Store the cover flat or loosely rolled to prevent permanent creases in the material. Reattach the cover before your next hunt to ensure the coil is protected from the first sweep. Proper storage practices help maintain both the cover and your detector's search coil in good condition between detecting sessions, extending the useful life of both components.

A coil cover is a practical accessory for any ACE detectorist, especially beginners who may not realize how quickly unprotected coils wear in the field. Pairing a cover with other low-cost essentials like a finds pouch or digging tool makes a thoughtful starter package. The cover is affordable enough to include in a gift bundle without inflating the total cost, and it extends the life of the detector's most vulnerable component.
