White’s Search Coils

Changing the search coil on your metal detector is the next best thing to buying a whole new machine! Most metal detectors come with a standard search coil that is good for general use – finding the broadest range of targets in the broadest range of environments. But search coils come in all shapes and sizes, and it's possible that merely changing the coil on your detector will lead you to a host of new targets in that "hunted out" area. Kellyco proudly hosts the most complete list of additional search coils on the internet with selections available for every major brand.

White's Treasure Stories!

MXT Finds Diamond Ring I got into metal detecting after doing my family genealogy. I found out that I had a Great Uncle who was a gold prospector in Arkansas. In 1927 he was murdered for his fortune, and learning this story got me interested in gold prospecting techniques.

That was four years ago, and since then I've been metal detecting up and down the Eastern United States. One day I was searching a desolate beach in Cape Cod, MA. - just me, a sand scoop and my Whites MXT that I had been using for two years, when I found my best treasure. I had been out for about a half hour and the beach was really sandy because a storm had just passed. I got a good signal and found, buried about an inch down, a 1.74 carat diamond ring.

I've since had the ring professionally appraised, and found that it's worth about $8,800.00! My MXT is more than paid for, and I'll be searching this beach again in the future!

White’s Search Coils Guide

A general guide to the various shapes and sizes of search coils is as follows:

• Smaller Search coils: Great for "trashy" areas, really allowing you to sift through pull tabs and gold rings. These coils are best for tighter places and the smallest, shallow targets.

• Medium Search coils: Usually come standard with your metal detector, these are designed for general use in finding the broadest range of targets in the broadest range of environments.

• Large Search coils: The larger the search coil, the deeper it will penetrate the ground. Great for finding caches or relic hunting, finding deeply buried, large targets.

• DD Search coils: These coils have two smaller "D" shaped coils housed inside to penetrate heavily mineralized ground that is commonly encountered while gold prospecting and relic hunting.

• EXcelerator S.E.F "Butterfly" Search coils: These search coils are a variant of the DD Search coils, open, with a butterfly-like shape.
