Title: coil cover Post by: barnie12 on May 21, 2014, 05:37:08 PM I have a coil cover with my ace 250 is it for use whilst detecting or just to protect the coil when stored

I use a C-Scope CS4PI for beach detecting on wet sands and occasionally remove the cover and clean both the coil and the cover. :)
