Why You Need Coil Protection
The Excalibur's 8" coil is expensive to replace, and even small cracks can let water in and kill the electronics. This cover acts as a sacrificial barrier that takes the beating so your coil doesn't have to. We've seen too many detectorists learn this lesson the hard way after one rocky beach hunt.
The yellow color isn't just for looks - it's highly visible underwater and in sand, making it easier to keep track of your detector when you're focused on a target. Plus, if you're hunting with others, that bright yellow helps prevent accidental coil bumps.
