The picks
Spare stock coils and larger or smaller options, from three detector makers and two coil brands. Each frame shows what the listing title names.
1. Minelab EQX 11 coil
A spare of the 11-inch EQX11 DD that Minelab ships with the Equinox 900. The listing includes a skidplate.
2. Coiltek 15-inch NOX coil
A larger coil from a coil maker, not Minelab. Its title names the Equinox series and the X-Terra Pro.
3. Minelab V10X coil for the X-Terra Pro
For the X-Terra Pro, a 10-inch DD, smaller than the 12 x 9-inch V12X that comes with the detector. Skidplate included.
4. Nokta LG24 coil for the Legend
A 9.5 x 6-inch DD for the Nokta Legend, smaller than the 12 x 9-inch LG30 Nokta lists for it.
5. XP 11-inch FMF coil for the Deus II
XP's 11-inch FMF coil for the Deus II, with a coil cover and lower stem. Its title gives the 4 to 45 kHz range.
6. Minelab GPX 17 monoloop coil
For the GPX 6000, a large monoloop beyond the two coils that come with the detector. Skidplate included.
7. CORS Fire 15-inch coil for the AT Gold
Built by a third party for the Garrett AT Gold, whose box holds a 5 x 8-inch DD. Sold with a cover.

The coils in the box
What each maker ships with the detector, read on its spec page. Buy a second coil only for a model its listing names.
| Detector | Coils in the box |
|---|---|
| Minelab Equinox 900 | EQX11, 11-inch round DD · EQX06, 6-inch round DD |
| Minelab X-Terra Pro | V12X, 12 x 9-inch elliptical DD |
| XP Deus II | One FMF coil per package: 9-inch round, 11-inch round or 13 x 11-inch elliptical |
| Garrett AT Gold | PROformance, 5 x 8-inch DD |
| Minelab GPX 6000 | GPX14, 14-inch round DD · GPX11, 11-inch round monoloop |
The Legend has two coil lists on Nokta's page, so it is left out of this table.

DD and monoloop on the spec sheets
Most coils in the table above are Double-D. Minelab ships the Equinox 900 with DD coils, and Garrett the AT Gold.
The GPX 6000 is the one in the table with two coil types in the box: a 14-inch DD and an 11-inch monoloop. Minelab ties some settings to the coil type, with EMI Cancel and Conductive Ground Cancel listed as Double-D modes.
XP lists three FMF coils for the Deus II, 9, 11 and 13 x 11 inches, and each package comes with one of them. Kellyco's Deus II page, read Oct. 16, 2026, lists the same three.
04
Care in three steps
Keep the skidplate on
A skidplate or cover takes the scrapes instead of the coil. Replace it when it wears through.
Check the cable
On a wired coil, look over the cable and the connector after each trip. A loose wrap can rub through on the shaft.
Rinse after salt water
Rinse a waterproof coil in fresh water after a beach day, then let it dry before you store it.

Questions
Answered from the texts and listings on this page, checked Oct. 17, 2026.
No. A coil fits only the models its maker lists. The GPX 17 is for the GPX 6000, the XP 11-inch coil for the Deus II. Check the model before you buy.
Minelab lists an 11-inch EQX11 and a 6-inch EQX06, both round DD.
The spec sheets we read don't say. Makers sell several sizes for one detector, such as the three Deus II coils, and we promise no depth for any of them.
