The Detech 15 x 8 WSS is a 15 x 8 inch (38.1 x 20.3 cm) closed design aftermarket monoloop coil for Minelab's GPX, GP and SD series pulse induction detectors. WSS stands for WideScanSearch: the coil has a narrow, knife-edge search pattern designed to see between junk and iron, so small targets can be found close to iron.

When to use the 15 x 8 WSS Monoloop Closed Design
The 15 x 8 WSS gives a GPX, GP or SD owner a long, narrow coil: it still sweeps a 15 inch strip, but at 8 inch wide it fits along strips of exposed wash, between scrub and down channels where a wide coil would not sit flat. Its knife-edge pattern helps where iron and junk lie near the gold, so slow the sweep around iron and approach a signal from more than one side.
Pick the timing that suits your ground, and ground balance again after fitting the coil. The coil is waterproof and runs very stably. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
