General search coil designed for higher detection ratio of small, medium 
and large targets in normal search conditions. It exhibits greater depth than 
any other DD search coil made by other competitive brands. It detects 
18mm coin at 28 cm with very loud signal responses. 
Due to large search area it will find more targets for shorter period of time 
compared to smaller search coils. Not suitable for mineralised conditions 
due to high probability of producing multiple signal responses.

It could be the best general search coil that you’ll ever need. It exhibits 
excellent dept and discrimination in most conditions. Very efficient in 
detecting small targets at great dept. Very fast in isolating individual 
targets. It detects 18mm coin at 28cm with very good signal response.

7"DD at 8kHz

                                                      

General search coil designed for quick scan of new detecting fields and 
areas. Very good for searching narrow spaces, holes and ditches. Best 
suited for small and medium targets in contaminated areas. 
 
Each coil is tuned to a slightly different frequency within the design range, 
to minimise interference from other Nexus detectors.  Performance values 
for all Nexus detectors will be identical. 

 

 
To obtain the best results with the BONANZA, as with all metal detectors, it 
is essential to understand the settings and operation of the detector. 
 
The BONANZA will provide exceptional quality results in the hands of every 
user, regardless of their experience with metal detectors. With the 
BONANZA everyone can enjoy the benefits of the deep seeking Nexus 
technology, both novice and professional alike.  
 
All sites and soils are different and settings that will give good results on 
one site may be less successful if used elsewhere.  The BONANZA is 
designed to detect the very deepest of targets and operates near to the 
limits of what is achievable with induction balance
