    The Nokta Makro C23 is a 9 inch (23 cm) DD search coil for the Makro CF77 Coin Finder, and the smallest of the three CF77 coils. Nokta designed it for surface and beach searches and for small targets at or close to the surface.

    Which detectors the C23 fits

    • Makro CF77 Coin Finder

    Nokta offers three CF77 coils: the 9 inch (23 cm) C23, the standard 11 inch (28 cm) C28 and the 18 x 16 inch (45 x 39 cm) C45. The CF77 manual describes all three as water-resistant Double-D coils and says the coil may go in water, while the control box is not water resistant.

    When to use the C23

    Nokta pitches the C23 on target separation where targets crowd together, and that is where we would use it: a busy patch of coins and trash, or a narrow spot the C28 cannot reach.

    We would not make it the only coil on a CF77, though. Across an open field the standard C28 gets more done per pass, and the C45 is Nokta's choice for depth over wide areas. The CF77 coils fit the CF77 only. When the ground or surroundings change, the CF77 manual says to set sensitivity and the ground setting again. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.

    Is the Nokta C23 coil compatible with detectors other than the CF77?

    The Nokta C23 coil is compatible exclusively with the Nokta CF77 Coin Finder metal detector. The C23 is designed specifically for the CF77 and will not connect to other detectors. It will not work with other Nokta detectors or other manufacturers. If you're looking for coil options for a different Nokta detector, browse our selection of metal detector search coils to find compatible accessories for your specific model.

    Answered by Dan P. · May 2026

    What depth can I expect on coin-sized targets with the C23?

    The C23 9-inch coil provides good depth on coin-sized targets, with actual performance varying by soil conditions. The C23 delivers reliable detection on dime and quarter-sized targets while prioritizing target separation in trashy ground. Actual depth varies with ground mineralization, target orientation, and discrimination settings. While larger coils push deeper in clean, open fields, the C23 is built for trash-heavy sites. It trades a fraction of maximum depth for superior target separation, allowing you to pick out individual coins hiding among dense metal debris at urban sites and old homesteads.

    Answered by Dan P. · May 2026

    Can I use the C23 coil in saltwater or freshwater environments?

    The waterproof construction allows hunting in wet conditions including creek beds and beaches. CF77 owners hunt creek beds, riverbanks, wet sand beaches, and shallow surf zones with the C23 without risking coil damage. The open-frame design works well in wet conditions and helps maintain consistent performance. Keep in mind that the CF77 control box itself has specific waterproof ratings, so verify your detector's housing limits before submerging the entire unit. The coil's waterproof construction also protects against rain and damp ground during land hunts.

    Answered by John W. · May 2026

    How does the C23's open-frame design affect performance?

    The open-frame design reduces weight for comfortable extended hunts. The design reduces the coil's overall mass, which translates to less arm fatigue during long hunts. The open-frame design handles various terrain types effectively. In trashy ground, the open frame helps the CF77's discrimination circuitry isolate individual targets. For detectorists interested in how coil construction impacts detection performance, our metal detector technologies page explains the trade-offs between open-frame and closed-shell designs.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    Do I need to recalibrate my CF77 when I switch to the C23 coil?

    You do not need to recalibrate or update firmware when switching to the C23 coil. Simply swap coils and begin hunting, no calibration required. Detach your existing coil, snap the C23 into the lower rod connector, and power on your detector. The CF77's discrimination patterns, sensitivity settings, and audio profiles work identically with the C23 as they do with the factory coil. This plug-and-hunt compatibility makes coil swapping quick and straightforward in the field.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    What hunting scenarios favor the C23 over a larger coil?

    The C23 excels anywhere target density is high and space is limited. If you are hunting in high-trash urban environments, dense brush, or narrow creek beds, the C23's compact size allows you to isolate individual targets—like a silver dime sitting next to an iron nail—much better than the standard factory coil.

    Answered by Dan P. · May 2026

    Does the C23 coil come with a warranty?

    Yes, the Nokta C23 search coil ships with a full manufacturer warranty. As an authorized Nokta dealer, Serious Detecting supports your purchase. Please refer to our returns and warranty page for specific duration details and claim information.
