Protect Your Search Coil. Extend Its Life. Keep Finding Gold.
Your search coil is one of the hardest-working components on your Minelab Gold Monster 1000. Every swing across rocks, gravel bars, exposed bedrock, and desert terrain slowly wears away the bottom of your coil.
The genuine Minelab GM05 5" Skid Plate is designed to take that abuse instead of your expensive search coil. This replaceable protective cover snaps securely onto the 5-inch GM05 Double-D search coil, helping prevent scratches, gouges, and unnecessary wear while maintaining your detector's peak performance.
Whether you're prospecting in Arizona washes, Colorado streams, California placer deposits, or your local goldfields, replacing a worn skid plate is an inexpensive way to protect your investment.
Why Replace Your Skid Plate?
Many prospectors don't realize how quickly a coil cover wears out.
Replacing the skid plate helps:
- Protect your expensive GM05 search coil from damage
- Prevent excessive wear on the coil housing
- Extend the life of your detector
- Reduce the risk of costly coil replacement
- Keep your Gold Monster looking and performing like new
A $9 skid plate is much less expensive than replacing an entire search coil.
