The Garrett 14" x 11" DD Reaper search coil is a waterproof elliptical coil built for ACE series detectors hunting large open areas. ACE owners covering farm fields, pastures, and cache sites gain 25% more ground coverage per swing compared to the stock 8.5" x 11" DD coil. The larger footprint reduces the number of passes needed to grid a site and improves detection depth on medium to large targets while preserving sensitivity to smaller objects. Waterproof construction and a protective cover handle stubble, wet grass, and shallow-water wading.
What's Included with the Garrett 14x11 Reaper Coil
- Garrett 14" x 11" DD Reaper search coil for ACE series detectors
- Reaper search coil cover
Why ACE Series Owners Reach for the Reaper Coil
- 25% wider ground coverage per swing speeds up open-field gridding and reduces fatigue on large sites like pastures and fairgrounds.
- Improved detection depth on medium to large targets while maintaining sensitivity to smaller objects like jewelry and pull tabs.
- Waterproof DD design handles wet grass, shallow creeks, and rain without performance loss, expanding hunt conditions beyond dry ground.
- Elliptical 14" x 11" geometry glides over crop stubble and uneven terrain that snags circular coils, keeping the coil flat to the ground for consistent target response.
- Lighter alternative: the 6" x 11" Viper coil trades coverage for maneuverability in trashy parks and tight spaces.
Faster Open-Field Coverage on the ACE 300 and ACE 400
Cache Hunting in Plowed Fields and Pastures
The 14" x 11" footprint cuts grid time on large sites by a quarter compared to the stock coil. ACE 300 and Garrett ACE 400 metal detector owners hunting old homesteads and farmstead foundations cover more ground per hour, which matters when a property spans 10 or 20 acres. The DD configuration maintains target separation in moderate iron (fence staples, nails) while the larger coil pulls deeper signals from buried caches, large copper, and relic clusters.
Stubble Fields and Wet Grass After Harvest
The elliptical shape navigates crop stubble and corn stalks that catch circular coils and lift them off the ground. Keeping the coil flat to the soil preserves depth and target ID accuracy. Waterproof construction handles morning dew, rain, and shallow puddles without performance drop. ACE series detectors paired with the Reaper coil work through conditions that force stock-coil users to wait for dry weather.
