Metal detector coils and what fits

A coil fits only the detectors its listing names, so start from your model. The Coiltek 15-inch, for one, is listed for the Equinox series and the X-Terra Pro.

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.

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

01

Keep the skidplate on

A skidplate or cover takes the scrapes instead of the coil. Replace it when it wears through.

02

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.

03

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.
