This document provides information about a waterproof coil produced by Coiltek Manufacturing. The coil is potted with epoxy resin to make it fully waterproof. It comes with a removable skid plate to allow for cleaning. The coil is robust and can be used without the skid plate. Users should ensure the strain relief is hand tight before submerging and keep other electronics dry. Tips are provided for using the DD PRO and MONO coil designs for metal detecting.

This coil has been an excellent addition to the range of

products we offer. This is a unique design as it is fully


water proof and one of only a few fully water proof coils
we produce.

The coil is potted with epoxy resin which holds all the
windings secure and provide its water proof ability. The
coil comes with a fitted skid-plate which has been
designed so it can be easily removed to clean out trapped
dirt or dust or to remove completely and swing without the
skid.

The coils robustness will ensure that if run without a skid


plate it will endure the knocks and bumps during normal
swing action. (solid skid plate also available) The strain
relief on the coil could be the only area of water intake so
always remember to have this hand tight plus half a turn before you are going to submerse
the coil. Also remember that the coil is water proof only, so ensure that your cable plug and
control box are kept free of moisture at all times.

Available in:
1.DD PRO*
2.MONO*

DD PRO operation hints & tips


The DD PRO Platypus has been very well received for the hunters who prospect in streams
and creeks. Due to the elliptical shape it has been an excellent coil for pinpointing targets.
Swinging with an overlapping sweep pattern is crucial to make sure the ground is covered
well. When you have a target the slowly swing up to it from 2 different angles and when you
start to hear the target it usually is 1 inch in from the nose of the coil.

DD coils quite often produce the signal just where the two windings overlap. The DD coil can
handle the heavier mineralised areas quite easily so would be a good choice if you hunt in
these regions. If you hunt in trashy areas then the DD will be the only coil to discriminate.

MONO operation hints & tips


This mono coil has super sensitivity. It is very well balanced and its pinpointing ability is very
easily used. When you have located a target you can tilt the coil to one side and use the
outer perimeter of the coil to pinpoint.

The whole outer perimeter of a mono coil should signal and give an easy pinpointing ability.
Again, as the coil can be submersed it can easily see the very small targets trapped in

stream and crevices. This coil is best run slightly above the ground as it sometimes can be
hyper sensitive due to ground conditions and/or external conditions.

With a slower swing speed the coil will have the ability to see the very small targets and quite
reasonable depths (this can vary on different detectors and settings used) and still have the
chance of responding to a larger deeper target. Remember to overlap the mono coils by at
least half if you want to ensure you cover the area well.
