When to use the MarsMD Sniper 10 x 6 inch
The Sniper is a 10 x 6 inch Double-D coil with high discrimination, built to find targets efficiently in complex environments such as thick vegetation and iron-contaminated sites. 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.
The Sniper suits Racer owners who keep running into brush, roots and iron that slow down a large coil. Its 6 inch width slips between obstacles, and you can sweep across a signal from different directions before digging. It covers open ground more slowly, so we would scout with a larger coil such as the 13 inch Discovery first. Even a narrow coil cannot unmask every target hidden beside iron. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
