What is a search coil on a metal detector?

A metal detector coil, also called a search coil, is a coil of wire at the end of your metal detector. This is the part of the metal detector that you sweep along the ground to discover metals hidden beneath the surface.

How can I make my metal detector stronger?

Detector Guide: How to Increase the Depth of a Metal Detector

1. Sweep the Metal Detector Close to the Ground.
2. Increase the Device’s Sensitivity Setting.
3. Reduce Your Device’s Discrimination Setting.
4. Fresh Batteries Provides Maximum Power.
5. Upgrade Coil Diameter.

How does a search coil work?

A search coil monitors the rate of change of leakage flux in the air gap as the rotor rotates (Fig 6.91). The signal from one pole is subtracted from the signal from the other; significant differences are indicative of one or more turns in a coil becoming short-circuited.

How deep will a metal detector detect?

Most metal detectors can detect objects about 4-8ʺ (10 – 20 cm) deep. In ideal conditions, a mid-range metal detector can reach 12-18ʺ (30-45 cm) underground. Some specialized detectors can go as deep as 65′ (20 m).

Does a metal detector detect gold?

One of the most common questions we get is Does The Metal Detector Detect Gold? The answer is YES, they all do. Some do it better than others. Some detectors like the Minelab Gold Monster or GPZ 7000 are specifically designed to find small gold pieces (which most naturally occurring gold is).

What is the best metal detector coil?

Coil Size. The size of the coil used has a lot to do with the ability to detect a target at depth.

Mono Coils. Mono coils have one wire winding that loops around on the inside of the coil.

DD Coils. DD coils have two overlapping wire windings inside of the coil,which allows for better discrimination of the detected targets.

Making a Choice.

What metals can a metal detector find?

Metal detectors can find metals such as; stainless steel, bronze, gold, nickel, iron, copper and aluminium. These types of metals are separated between non-ferrous metals and ferrous metals, gemstones, diamonds and pearls cannot be detected by a metal detector and anything else which is not conductive.
