Admin nuggethunting Posted August 14, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello All, I finally received the first batch of Coiltek Goldstalker Searchcoil covers for the new 14 & 18.5-inch ellipticals. If you're still waiting to get one of these, please give me a call, email me or contact me through this forum. I know many customers were waiting a replacement coil cover to have. Price is $28.00 for either size + shipping. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Rob,Hope you will not mind a gentle reminder saying that it is ultra importantthat the tape holding the coil cover onto the Goldstalker (or any), coilis kept in pristine condition. Most of us are and have to be, fairly aggressive using our coils and the tapeis easily abraded and torn. If that happens you will almost immediatelystart collecting fine dirt etc. between the coil and the cover which leadsto a condition where you cannot tune the detector.The condition tends to develop slowly and it has confounded many very experienced prospectors.Just a well-ment reminder for your customers...All the best,Flak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Flak, On the open center coils, one thing to do is silicon the center holes, and then tape the outer rim. Not sure how everyone else does it, but that seems to keep the dust out for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDeep Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I have been taping the inside and outside of my Goldstalker 18". I have been using what is called grip tape, not the stuff you use on a skateboard but what movie grips use on sets, it is a cloth like tape. I get it at pro camera shops. I read somewhere that some duct tape (ducktape) is actually conductive and may desensitize the detector. Anyone else heard of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've been using different types of tape, trying to find one kind that is stronger than the other.The recommended tape that is used on the coils whenthey come from the factory seems to be the best overall for me.Sometimes I wonder whether coil covers are the way to go.They probably are, but I seem have a penchant for getting lots of dirt between the coil and the cover.Flak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
