The Golden mask 18 cm search coil is suitable for work in very trashy areas and for gold prospecting. On a 18 kHz metal detector, the coil is very sensitive to small gold nuggets, combining sensitivity and depth or search.
The 18cm DD is the coil for ground that defeats everything else: heavily littered sites and gold prospecting. On an 18kHz machine it becomes genuinely sensitive to small gold nuggets while keeping more depth than the smallest coil in the range. A closed shell and a fitted protector make it the more robust of the two small options.
At 18cm it sits between the 13cm Spider and the mid sized coils. Golden Mask fitting only. Send us your model and we will confirm it. See the full coil range or the machines they fit.
Multi frequency, or 8kHz depending on the machine it is fitted to. On an 18kHz detector it is notably sensitive to small gold, which is its main appeal for prospecting.
The 13cm is more sensitive to the smallest targets and lighter. This 18cm reaches a little deeper and has a protector fitted, so it is the tougher choice for rough ground.
On a cluttered site yes. On clean open pasture a mid sized coil will cover ground faster and reach deeper, so most coin hunters use this as a second coil rather than a main one.
Yes, this coil has a protector. On abrasive ground that saves the coil face, and replacing a protector is far cheaper than replacing a coil.
Jay G –
Used on my GM6 to great effect, this coil is perfect for stubble, woodland or around the buttresses of trees and uncut pasture. It’s depth bellies it’s size, it’s light, manoeuvrable and tough. The 7” works just great at 15 kHz but is exceptional at 30 finding the tinniest and thinnest objects and coins at surprising depths in places that larger or even medium coils hinder progress. Every GM owner should have one of these in their kit bag.
