SEARCHCOILS
Your Garrett CX Plus is equipped with a 7”X10”
PROformance searchcoil suitable for almost any
kind of target in any terrain. Also available from your
Garrett dealer are a 10”x14” PROformance Power
DD searchcoil, which you will find helpful in seeking
large and deep targets, and a 4.5” Crossfire for use
in especially trashy locations or in tight places that
larger searchcoils do not reach.
When changing searchcoils, hand-tighten the knobs
only. Never use tools of any kind.
Garrett’s acclaimed TreasureHound ™ CX Plus Depth
Multiplier multiplies the depth to which the CX can

large targets and is not bothered by small pieces of
metal junk, it minimizes the necessity of digging.

also be used to locates placer deposits in streams
or dry sand, with such gold then recovered by pan-
ning.
Hard work, patience and research are three of the
keys to success in electronic prospecting. Research
is important because it is vital that gold always be
sought in areas where it is known to exist.
The CX Plus is usually operated only in the All Metal
Mode if gold is to be found. This is particularly impor-

and carefully inspected. It is only in this manner that
you can be successful in using a detector to discover
valuable metal nuggets and ore samples.
