Ear Muffs

Prevents Coil Ear Breakage

Minelab is a renowned global manufacturer of metal detectors, recognized for their cutting-edge technology and innovative designs. However, their most popular search coils have encountered a persistent issue: they often break at the connection point with the detector shaft. While users have tried to address this problem with homemade fixes, these solutions can be unreliable and may even void the warranty. Minelab remains committed to finding a more robust and reliable solution but until that time- EarMuffs!

Client: Kellyco

I dedicated a week to breaking detector coils and two weeks to creating and testing a solution. The Ear Muffs support the coil ears, transferring shaft torsion to the coil body for even distribution. I designed the logo and packaging before SLA printing the first few hundred units sold. These are now a Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) item and periodically rank as Amazon’s #1 metal detecting accessory.
