CORS Giant 15" x 17" DD Coil for Bounty Hunter Gold and Platinum

The CORS Giant 15x17 coil is compatible with the Bounty Hunter Gold and Bounty Hunter Platinum metal detectors. These models use a push-in connector that matches the Giant coil's cable termination. The coil is not compatible with other Bounty Hunter series detectors that use different connector types or operating frequencies. Verify your detector model before ordering; the coil's push-in connector and electrical specifications are engineered specifically for the Gold and Platinum platforms.

The CORS Giant coil detects large targets 30-60% deeper than the stock Bounty Hunter Gold and Platinum coils, depending on target size, soil mineralization, and detector settings. On a buried cache or large relic, you'll gain several inches of depth penetration. Small targets (1 gram or more) remain detectable at 25cm depth when using slow, overlapping sweeps. The depth advantage is most pronounced on large ferrous and non-ferrous objects in open terrain where the coil's 15x17 footprint can be swept without obstruction.

The CORS Giant coil is fully waterproof and submersible. The coil body is filled with epoxy resin, and the cable features strain relief sealing at the coil junction, making it safe for use in rain, wet grass, creek beds, and shallow water crossings. The coil itself can be submerged; verify your Bounty Hunter detector's control box waterproof rating before hunting in water, as the detector housing may have depth or splash limitations. For wet-ground relic hunting and rain-soaked fields, the Giant's waterproof construction eliminates moisture-damage concerns.

The CORS Giant coil weighs 32.4 ounces (920 grams) without the coil cover, making it heavier than typical stock coils. Detectorists hunting for extended sessions in open fields should expect increased arm fatigue compared to smaller coils. A padded armrest, harness system, or frequent rest breaks help manage the weight during long hunts. The coil's balance on the Bounty Hunter shaft is reasonable, but the large footprint and mass make it better suited for deliberate, methodical sweeps rather than fast-paced all-day detecting.

The CORS Giant coil is designed for open terrain with low target density, not trashy sites. Its large 15x17 footprint reduces target separation in areas with dense iron, aluminum trash, or multiple overlapping signals. The DD configuration helps reject ground mineralization, but the coil's size means multiple targets under the footprint will mask each other. For trashy parks, demolished building foundations, or iron-heavy sites, a smaller coil like the 6.5x3.5 Shrew (for compatible detectors) provides better target separation and maneuverability.

The CORS Giant coil uses a push-in connector that mates with the Bounty Hunter Gold and Platinum detector's coil port. Installation involves aligning the connector pins, pushing the plug into the port until it seats, and securing the cable to the shaft with the included Velcro strap. The mounting bracket attaches to the detector's lower shaft with the supplied nut, bolt, and rubber rings. No soldering, adapters, or modification is required. The German-made cable is robust and resists kinking during installation and fieldwork.

The CORS Giant coil retains sensitivity to small targets despite its large size. Targets weighing 1 gram or more remain detectable at 25cm depth when using slow, deliberate sweeps with moderate overlap. Coins, rings, and small relics are within the coil's detection range, though the large footprint means you'll cover ground faster at the expense of fine target separation. The coil is not a large-target-only specialist; it balances depth on big objects with reasonable small-target performance, making it a versatile open-field upgrade rather than a cache-hunting-only tool.

The Double D (DD) configuration reduces ground noise and false signals in mineralized soil compared to concentric coils, stabilizing target ID on deep signals in challenging ground conditions. The Giant's DD layout provides a blade-shaped detection field that offers better depth penetration on edge-oriented targets and improved ground balance stability. For Bounty Hunter users hunting varied terrain, the DD configuration delivers more consistent performance across soil types than a concentric coil of the same size. The DD design helps maintain stable operation where concentric coils may struggle with ground interference.

The CORS Giant coil includes a two-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Damage from abuse, modification, or use with incompatible detectors voids the warranty. When purchased from an authorized dealer, you have access to CORS technical support and warranty service. Keep your purchase receipt; warranty claims require proof of purchase and a description of the defect. The warranty provides protection for manufacturing issues that may arise during normal use of the coil with compatible Bounty Hunter detectors.

The CORS Giant coil ships with a coil cover (skidplate) pre-attached to the coil body. The cover protects the coil's bottom surface from abrasion, rock strikes, and wear during ground contact. You can use the coil without the cover if preferred, but the cover extends the coil's lifespan in rocky or abrasive soil. The included cover is a durable polymer designed to handle rough terrain without cracking and provides reliable protection during field use.

Large coils require adjustments to swing technique, ground balance, and sensitivity settings compared to stock coils. Slow, low sweeps with overlapping coverage maximize depth and target ID accuracy. Adjusting sensitivity as needed in mineralized ground helps stabilize threshold and reduce false signals.

Test the Giant in a known-target area before heading to a new site so you learn its audio response and depth capabilities on your local soil.
