[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 44827, member: 1695"] A lot of coils actually require tape to keep the skid plate mounted on the coil, my little Coiltek 6" is lined with white tape, whilst others have a bead of white silicone sealing keeping the plate on. Some coils like the ones on the exterras seem to fill up with sand all the time between the coil and skidplate, so you could either tape it, or would probably be easier to run some silicone to seal off those sand catching areas. There is a possibilty of getting iron or minerlisation caught up in the coil gaps, which will make the detector sound off all the time, so it's just a precaution. [/QUOTE]
