Which detectors the 14x9 Gold Extreme fits
Coiltek makes the Gold Extreme series for the SDC 2300 only. Coiltek says its Gold Extreme Accessories Pack has everything needed to fit Gold Extreme coils to the SDC 2300: an injection molded shaft attachment, a clamp and a cover, bought once to fit all your Gold Extreme coils. We carry it as the Coiltek Gold Extreme Accessory Pack.
When to use the 14x9 Gold Extreme
Pick the 14x9 when the SDC 2300 has open, workable ground in front of it and covering that ground is the job. Coiltek says it adds 6 inch per sweep, reaches deeper than the standard coil and runs smoother in highly mineralized ground, and that its elliptical toe gets under brush a little more easily than the stock coil. Very small gold is where it gives way: Coiltek rates its small target performance below the 8 inch standard coil, so we would go back to the standard coil or the 10x5 Gold Extreme once tiny pieces are the goal. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
The coil is Litz wound and water resistant, weighs 805 g (28.4 oz) and comes with its coil cover (skid plate) attached.
