The Nautilus VLF DMC II is very affordable and features two simple operating modes and an optimized searchcoil.
The model we’re featuring comes standard with a state of the art searchcoil made from light-weight material. The VLF DMC II comes standard with a 10” coil, but 6”, 8”, and 15” searchcoils are also available. These searchcoil are versatile and deep-seeking, making them effective for any type of detecting. Of course Nautilus optimizes each detector to the specific coil you purchase it with, insuring optimal performance right out of the box!
The specifications on this detector are dense but plentiful. The audio discrimination is 950 hz while the operating frequency is 14kHz. You can physically configure the handle in “S” or “U” choice, with the standard grey enclosure and accompanying padded headphones. Switches included on the VLF DMC are “on/off,” “Dual/Single Tone,” and adjustable “Threshold.”
The DMC II is designed to be a dual mode detector for use in highly mineralized soil. This is where you need maximum performance from your detector in the “all-metal” and “discrimination” modes. The two modes on the DMC II are “Ground Reject Discrimination” mode and “VLF Ground Balance” mode. What makes the DMC II different from any other detector is that you can monitor both of these modes at the same time! This allows you to adjust the “VLF Ground Balance” for the terrain you’re hunting and get a weaker signal for the more conductive target. For example, an aluminum pull-tab can be detected deeper than a quarter approximately the same size.
The construction of the Nautilus VLF DMC Metal Detectors is solid and sturdy. While they tend to weigh more than many other detectors, they are also significantly better built and more reliable. All connectors are strictly heavy-duty, nickel-plated, with a threaded clamp ring. The coils are all mounted with thick lugs and a heavy duty cable strain relief. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the DMC II construction, and its total weight is 4.3 to 4.5lbs.

A Word About Nautilus Searchcoils Starting from the bottom up, Nautilus searchcoils are wound and constructed entirely at the Tyndall Electronic factory in Coats, North Carolina. New construction techniques and materials have made them lighter and more sensitive than ever before in the history of the company. Each searchcoil is fine tuned to the electronics that it will be shipped with insuring each detector that leaves the factory is optimized. SIzes for the DMC coils are available in 6, 8, 10 and 15 inch diameters. The six-inch diameter model is currently in production for high trash coins and relic hunting locations. Early prototypes tested of the 6 Inch coil were found to be excellent in areas other detectorist walk away from.
All coils have thick mounting lugs and a heavy duty cable strain relief. There are no "whimpy" cable connectors used on the DMC I. All connectors are strictly heavy-duty, nickel plated with a threaded clamp ring. Nautilus searchcoils and the entire quality parts inventory of Nautilus construction are engineered to keep you in the field longer. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout the DMC I construction.
