The Coiltek Elite-Max 10x5 is a 10 x 5 inch (250 x 145 mm) elliptical mono coil for Minelab GPX, GP and SD pulse induction detectors and the AlgoForce E1500 Plus. Coiltek makes it for tight spaces and for the smaller, shallower targets that other coils might miss.

When to use the Elite-Max 10x5
Coiltek describes the 10x5 as a small, lightweight elliptical coil that excels in rocky and bushy terrain and is made for recovering smaller, shallower targets that others might miss. The narrow footprint fits between rocks and under brush, and at 650 g (23 oz) it is light to swing. The trade-off is coverage: a 10 x 5 inch coil sees less ground with each sweep than the larger Elite-Max sizes.
Coiltek winds the Elite-Max coils with Litz wire and claims improved depth and sensitivity compared with standard wound coils of the same size. The coil is fully submersible to 1 m (3.3 ft). Each Elite-Max comes with its skid plate already fitted. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation, and the other Elite-Max sizes are in our Coiltek Elite-Max collection.
