Sun Ray

Sun Ray Aftermarket Coils for Minelab, Garrett, and Whites Detectors

Sun Ray builds search coils that fit a wide range of detector platforms. The product line includes concentric and DD coils in sizes from small elliptical coils for trashy sites to large mono coils for depth in open ground. We've used Sun Ray coils on Minelab X-Terra and Explorer models, Garrett AT series detectors, and Whites MXT machines. Each coil ships with the correct connector and hardware for plug-and-play installation. Browse our metal detector lineup to confirm compatibility with your machine before ordering a coil upgrade.

Inline Probe Systems and Audio Upgrades for Target Recovery

Sun Ray's inline probe products integrate a pinpointer circuit into the detector shaft, letting you switch from search mode to pinpoint mode without pulling a handheld probe from your belt. The probe tip mounts near the coil and runs off the detector's battery. We run this setup on coin hunts where fast target recovery matters. Sun Ray also manufactures wireless audio modules and headphone adapters that replace stock wiring with Bluetooth connectivity. The Pro Gold headphones deliver full-range audio for gold prospecting and relic hunting, with volume control and padded ear cups for long sessions.

Choosing Sun Ray Accessories for Your Detecting Style

Coil selection depends on your target type and ground conditions. Smaller coils (5-8 inches) excel in iron-heavy sites and tight spaces. Mid-size coils (9-11 inches) balance depth and target separation for general coin and jewelry hunting. Large coils (12 inches and up) push depth in low-trash environments like fields and beaches. Sun Ray's inline probe systems work best for hunters who dig dozens of targets per session and want to eliminate the draw-and-holster cycle. Wireless audio modules suit detectorists who prefer freedom of movement over wired headphones. Check practical detecting tips for guidance on matching accessory upgrades to your hunting environment and target goals.

Sun Ray Build Quality and Field Performance

Sun Ray products use potted electronics and reinforced coil housings to survive impacts, moisture, and temperature swings. We've run Sun Ray coils through saltwater surf, frozen ground, and high-mineralization red dirt without failure. The inline probe systems use sealed connectors and shielded cable to prevent false signals. Warranty coverage and parts availability support long-term field use. Sun Ray accessories install without permanent modification to the detector, so you can swap back to stock configuration when needed.
