The M8 coil, featuring an 8 x 5.5-inch elliptical Double-D design, boasts impressive waterproofing, capable of withstanding depths of up to 5 meters (16 feet). Its exceptional sensitivity to small targets makes it an excellent choice for treasure hunters navigating cluttered environments with abundant debris.

Moreover, it excels in challenging terrains, making it the go-to option for detecting in rough conditions.

With the protective skidplate included, the M8 coil's weight is a mere 400g, contributing to the overall lightweight design of the MANTICORE detector, which tips the scales at just 1.2kg when paired with the M8 coil.
