DOC Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 As you know I used to carry either White or Black Coil Cover Tape to hold your coil covers on to your Coiltek or Nugget Finder coils. This old tape had a pretty generous amount of tape on it. It also had some unique properties, that I have just not been able to find anywhere else. A roll of this tape cost $11 plus shipping. Undaunted by my fruitless search for something similar, I finally decided to contract with a tape company to manufacture my own coil cover tape to my specifications. I had them make it more durable, and really give you a lot of tape for your money. The picture sort of makes it look metallic, IT IS NOT. It's just a matte neutral color. There is nothing in the tape that will interfere with your detector. Just so you have some idea, a 14 inch round coil takes about 4 feet of tape to secure the coil cover. My Gold Screamer® brand coil cover tape has enough tape to do over 42 - 14 inch coils!! You will probably need 1 roll for the rest of your life. A roll of my tape is $12 plus shipping. My fist shipment is due in about 2 weeks. You can order from Rob. The picture shows my Gold Screamer® brand coil cover tape, and the other black and white coil cover tape I used to carry. BCOT!

Roo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Finally one that will last longer than one week! I gave up on the old stuff and just sealed my coil covers with silicone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted March 31, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hey Doc, I have added the picture, but it's small. Can you send the full sized picture and I will attach. You might need to clear some of your attachments out to add new pictures. You're only allowed so much space so members don't spam the forums with huge pictures. Is the tape available now for sale?

Roo Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah Frank, all that gunk that stayed there was another reason I ditched using the old stuff and went to simple silicone. Seals out the water and dust full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank c Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Roo I have spent much time over the years cleaning off the tattered tape /glue residue with alcohol / etc. on a rag rubbin my fingers off to get a clean surface to reapply to.I ended up going to a special grade electrical tape that does the job and removes easily.I will give this new item a try in the near future.

fredm Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Rob, I did not find the new tape on your website...fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2cool Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Fred maybe next week. I think Doc is still waiting for his first shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I agree Roo silicone sealant works well. but if you decide to change your coil cover its tough to get it off, almost like glue. tape on the other hand makes it easy to change the cover. Bottom line you dont want black sand accumulating under your coil cover and all the crazy false signals as you swing. your going to have to decide what will work best for you.AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted April 9, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hey Guys, I don't have any of the new searchcoil tape yet, but Doc knows when they arrive I want a large shipment to supply backorders and previous inquiries. The moment I get them in, I will let everyone know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I got a roll to try out.Put it on my main coil and beat the brush for two weeks.I'm very satisfied with the tape, I bet it will last twice as long as the older stuff.Thanks for another great product Doc!

Admin nuggethunting Posted May 7, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hey Guys, I have been so freaking busy on my end, I apologize if I didn't get back with you about the tape. We have a bunch of it in stock, so if you're interested we do have it like Doc stated. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted May 10, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hey Guys, I have added the Doc's Goldscreamer Searchcoil Tape to my online store. All of the Searchcoil categories will have it, along with the searchcoil cover section. I'm also adding Doc's new Digital Dual Charger, which is very nice!
