Not many people know that for the last few years Minelab has been trying to actively stand against manufacturers of aftermarket coils. Are you aware of what the production cost of a plastic coil cover is? Being sold for $20-$25 per unit, this accessory is actually a dime a dozen. And they are always in demand. Plus, coils, repair etc. Well, I think you’ve got it: the coils-accessories-repair business is up there with metal detector sales.

So, if it’s possible to make a metal detector coil literally from trash, what do you pay your $150 or $200 for? Some people even have the hots for coils costing $1500. Aren’t they stupid, really?
