Nokta RC26 10" x 5.5" DD Search Coil for Racer Metal Detector

The RC26 search coil is engineered specifically for the legacy Nokta Racer metal detector platform. It is custom-built to interface cleanly with the original Racer's electronic frequency, mounting brackets, and specific control box connector configuration. It will not work on newer multi-frequency lines like the Simplex or Legend series. If you are tracking down upgrades or replacement parts for a different detector model, explore our complete metal detector search coils collection to find an exact match for your setup.

The RC26's 10" x 5.5" elliptical footprint provides significantly better maneuverability in tight spaces compared to the Racer's standard round coil, all while maintaining excellent depth on target coins. The narrow 5.5-inch width allows you to comfortably swing between dense obstacles like old fence posts and root structures where a wider round coil would consistently strike obstructions. This geometry gives you surgical precision inside trashy areas without forcing you to compromise on overall detection depth.

The RC26 is fully waterproof, meaning you can submerge the coil in streams, shallow water, and wet sand without damaging the housing or electronics. The coil's waterproof construction matches the Racer detector's all-terrain capability, so you can hunt creek beds, surf zones, and rain-soaked fields without worrying about moisture intrusion. Keep the detector's control box above water while using the waterproof coil to protect the electronics during water hunting.

The RC26 ships with the search coil itself, a protective coil cover, and the mounting hardware needed to attach the coil to your Racer detector's lower shaft. The package includes everything you need to install and protect the coil during use and storage. You do not need to purchase additional adapters or connectors, the coil connects directly to your Racer detector using the included mounting components.

The DD configuration excels in mineralized ground and trashy areas where ground signals and iron debris can mask targets. In trashy sites and iron-heavy ground, the DD pattern's ability to reject ground signals and separate targets often results in more recoverable finds at practical hunting depths. The configuration provides excellent ground coverage across the entire sweep while maintaining stable operation in challenging soil conditions that would cause problems for other coil types.

The waterproof construction makes the RC26 effective for beach hunting in wet sand and shallow water conditions. The DD pattern performs well in mineralized conditions, maintaining stable operation during beach sessions. The narrow profile also reduces water resistance when you swing through shallow surf, making it less fatiguing during long detecting sessions. The coil's waterproof design lets you hunt confidently in wet beach environments without worrying about moisture damage.

The coil mounts to your Racer using the included mounting hardware. The mounting process involves attaching the coil's mounting bracket to your detector's lower shaft, routing the coil cable up the shaft using the cable management system, and connecting the coil to your detector. The included hardware is designed to fit the Racer's standard shaft configuration without requiring modifications or additional tools beyond what's provided in the package.

The RC26 improves target separation in trashy areas through two mechanisms: the DD configuration's ability to reject ground mineralization and iron signals, and the elliptical shape's narrower sweep width that reduces the number of simultaneous targets under the coil. In sites with dense iron scatter like old homesteads or parks with decades of trash accumulation, the RC26 helps you isolate targets in heavily hunted areas. The narrow profile lets you work around individual targets that would overlap and mask each other under a larger round coil.
