Choosing the Right
Coil for the Job
There are five main things you should consider
when deciding which coil is best for your terrain
and target:
Coil Size and Depth
A larger coil will typically find targets buried deeper
in the ground but they can be less sensitive to
smaller targets. A smaller coil is typically more
sensitive to small targets, but does not go as deep as
a larger coil.
Mineralisation
A Monoloop coil will often have improved
performance over a Double-D coil but can be more
difficult to Ground Balance and therefore possibly
more noisy. A Double-D coil is often more stable in
heavily mineralised areas.
Terrain and Vegetation
A small coil can be easier to manoeuvre through
thick scrub or rough terrain. A smaller coil is also a
lighter weight than a larger coil.
Discrimination
In areas where discrimination is required a
Double-D coil is necessary for Iron Reject to work. In
high trash concentrations a smaller coil is preferable.
Search Pattern
A Double-D coil will typically provide a 'blade-like'
detection pattern from the toe to the heel of the coil,
which gives excellent ground coverage. A Monoloop
coil has a detection field that is typically cone
shaped, which requires overlapping of sweeps to
ensure thorough ground coverage.

Note: In some
circumstances non Minelab
Double-D and Monoloop
coils will work on the GPX-
4500. However, there are
limitations which mean
some functions will not
work properly. In some
cases the use of coils not
designed for the GPX-4500
may cause the detector to
be unstable and noisy.
– The shaded areas indicate each coils recommended uses.
– May operate well in Enhance or Sensitive Smooth timings.
