FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How search coils affect gold detection
The search coil you choose has a direct impact on how your detector responds to gold. Coil size and coil type influence depth, sensitivity, ground coverage, and how well the detector handles mineralized soil. Smaller coils excel at finding tiny gold in tight areas and noisy ground, while larger coils cover more ground and can reach deeper targets. Coil design also matters: Mono coils are known for maximum sensitivity and depth in many goldfields, while DD-FC coils provide excellent ground handling and added stability in difficult or variable soil conditions. Choosing the right search coil lets you fine-tune your detector for your terrain, target size, and prospecting style.
Looking to fine-tune your setup? Garrett offers multiple search coil options for AXIOM and Goldmaster 24k, so you can match your detector to your ground conditions and goals. Shop individual search coils below.
