Tesoro 12x10 Inch Widescan Spoked Searchcoil
The Tesoro 12 x 10 inch Widescan Spoked Searchcoil is great for gold or relic hunting in less than optimal ground. Widescan coils use two D-shaped antennas that are placed back to back. Because of this configuration they are also called double-d coils. The widescan coil is less affected by mineralization than the concentric so it is generally used for gold prospecting or relic hunting in bad ground. Pinpointing is done with the heel or toe of the coil.After determining the type of coil that is best for your type of hunting the next thing to consider is the size. The 12 x 10 Wide Scan is designed to penetrate deeply in highly mineralized sites that are not burdened with an abundance of junk. The Double D windings see 30% less ground effect than a concentric-style winding. This will give you smoother operation in areas where the ground matrix tends to shift. Both coils will utilize our Monolithic shielding. Carbon fibers and graphite powder have been mixed into the raw plastic used to form the coils. This technique provides an even RF shielding across the entire surface of the coil.
