Coils
Selecting the correct coil size and configuration allows you to optimise your
GPX 6000's performance in a range of detecting scenarios� Understanding when to
use each coil will increase the productivity of your detecting sessions�
GPX 11 Mono
The GPX 11 Mono coil is a great general-purpose coil that is recommended for most detecting
conditions� It is a good all-rounder that has excellent depth and sensitivity� While it does not
cover as much ground as the larger coils, it is a practical choice for detecting smaller areas
and is easier to manoeuvre around obstacles�
Like all monoloop coils, the GPX 11 Mono is susceptible to noise in conductive ground or when
there are high levels of EMI�
GPX 17 Mono
The GPX 17 Mono coil is the top choice for covering large areas of ground quickly and
efficiently� It is the top performer when searching for large deep nuggets in less mineralised
ground�
Like all monoloop coils, the GPX 17 Mono is susceptible to noise in conductive ground or when
there are high levels of EMI�
GPX 14 Double-D
The GPX 14 Double-D excels in conditions where there are high levels of EMI or in very
conductive soils, allowing it to operate successfully in conditions that render the Mono coils
unusable�
This coil should only be used in these extremely noisy conditions, and is not recommended
for general detecting use as it is less sensitive than the mono coils�
