Jed in NC Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Going to give parkgt's idea a shot on my new 11" x 13" coil. I bought some RG179 removed the shield and double covered with marine heat shrink. Attached to the coil with velcro wire ties so I can easily remove the coil cover. Can still attach the charging clip without removing the antenna. Ran up the outside of a Nokta Legend carbon fiber shaft and hold the cable in place with a section of nylon split braided sleeving that I had left over from an audio job. Thanks again to parkgt for this great idea! Have not tested it yet, but hope to in the next few days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 All great ideas! I'm thinking of using Greg's idea of running the wire up the lower shaft for a semi-permanent installation and Jed's idea of using the velcro wire ties on the coil to be able to clean the coil cover and to switch coils when I get the new 9.5"x5" coil. 😎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm thinking that this might be "good enough" if brought all the way up to the top shaft inside. 🤔 Might try that. I did get the SteveG shaft with the holes for the wire, but they are still good for fast filling the tube when immersed. 👍 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is split loom tubing that I used to protect some fiber audio cables behind an audio console. Here is the link of the product that I used. Thanks for the reply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FW672R7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Now I see that that they have colors to match the Deus! 😂 Just cut to length and melt edge with a torch or lighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Here are some others, specifically sized for detectors: https://www.amazon.com/Snake-Skinz-Sleeves-Detectors-Americano/dp/B08BG5L32S I like yours better because they are more easily removed. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
