The MarsMD 7 inch DD coil (sold as the Lion 7) is a Double-D search coil measuring 7 inch (18 cm), in the version made for the Makro Racer and Racer 2. MarsMD made its 7 inch coil for challenging places: it is lightweight and compact, and it picks out non-ferrous targets even in very trashy areas.

When to use the Lion 7
The Lion 7 is a Double-D coil with high discrimination, at home in thickets and tall grass where reliable identification of non-ferrous targets matters. MarsMD makes only Double-D coils, and every MarsMD coil is waterproof. MarsMD gives its weight as from 370 g (13.1 oz), since the weight can run higher depending on the detector version. The coil body is filled with high quality epoxy resin inside a high impact resistant, UV protected plastic shell. It has a robust mounting bracket and a screw-on connector, and the cable strain relief keeps the cable entry waterproof. The coil is protected against electrical interference.
Racer and Racer 2 owners who hunt overgrown or iron-filled ground can use the Lion to work into spots a large coil cannot reach. Move slowly and sweep across each signal from different angles. Pair it with a larger coil such as the 15 inch Goliath for open stretches, since a 7 inch coil takes a long time to cover them. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
