The 17x11 Elite is made for these SD, GP and GPX models. It does not fit the Minelab GPX 6000, the Minelab SDC 2300, which has a fixed coil, or Minelab VLF detectors such as the GOLD MONSTER series.
When to use the 17x11 Elite Monoloop
A monoloop uses a single winding to transmit and receive, and its signal peaks with the target under the center of the coil. Coiltek's current mono line for the same detectors is the Elite-Max series, in 9 inch, 10x5 and 14x9 sizes; the 14x9 Elite-Max weighs 990 g (35 oz). Coiltek also makes a 17x11 Anti-Interference coil, 1018 g (36 oz), and recommends running it in DD mode on the GPX 4500 and GPX 5000.
We see the 17x11 Elite as a coverage coil for owners of older Minelab PI detectors who spend their time on open, fairly clear ground and are after bigger, deeper pieces rather than specks. Team it with a compact coil for broken, stony spots instead of forcing a long coil through them. Set sensitivity and soil timing to what the ground will take, and expect the extra load at the end of the shaft to tell over a full day; a harness or bungee eases it. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
