Minelab VANQUISH V10 10" x 7" Skidplate – Replacement Search Coil Cover
Protect Your Search Coil. Hunt with Confidence.
Your metal detector's search coil takes a beating every time you hunt. From rocks and gravel to tree roots, sand, and rough ground, the bottom of your coil is constantly exposed to scratches and abrasion.
The Minelab VANQUISH V10 10" x 7" Skidplate is a replacement protective cover designed to fit the original Minelab V10 Double-D elliptical search coil.
Also called a coil cover or scuff plate, this accessory fits over the bottom of your search coil to provide a replaceable layer of protection between the coil housing and the ground.
Whether you're searching old homesteads, hunting coins in parks, or detecting along rocky shorelines, a skidplate helps protect your equipment during everyday use.
Why Use a Search Coil Skidplate?
-
Protects Against Scratches: Helps shield the bottom of your coil from rocks, gravel, and abrasive surfaces.
-
Reduces Everyday Wear: Provides a replaceable protective surface for regular detecting.
-
Designed for the Original V10 Coil: Fits the 10" x 7" elliptical Minelab VANQUISH V10 search coil.
-
Lightweight Protection: Adds minimal bulk to your detecting setup.
-
Easy Maintenance: Remove periodically to clean accumulated dirt and sand.
-
Affordable Replacement: Replace a worn skidplate instead of exposing your expensive search coil to unnecessary abrasion.
Protect Your Coil Where It Matters Most
When metal detecting, keeping the search coil close to the ground is essential for good target detection.
Unfortunately, that also means the coil frequently encounters rough surfaces.
A properly fitted skidplate helps protect the coil during:
Relic Hunting: Searching old farm fields, rocky homesteads, and historic properties.
Coin Shooting: Sweeping over parks, schoolyards, playgrounds, and other recreational areas.
Beach Detecting: Protecting the coil housing from abrasive sand and small stones.
Woods Hunting: Working around roots, rocks, and uneven terrain.
General Treasure Hunting: Reducing wear during regular use.
Designed for the Minelab VANQUISH V10 Coil
This replacement skidplate is designed for the original Minelab V10 10" x 7" Double-D elliptical search coil used with compatible VANQUISH detectors.
The original V10 coil is commonly associated with the:
Compatibility is determined by the coil installed on your detector, not simply the detector model.
If you have upgraded to a V8, V12, V10X, or another coil, you will need the protective cover specifically designed for that coil.
When Should You Replace Your Skidplate?
Inspect your skidplate regularly for excessive wear, cracking, or damage.
Consider replacing it when:
-
The bottom has become heavily worn or gouged.
-
Cracks have developed.
-
The cover no longer fits securely.
-
The underlying coil housing is becoming exposed.
It's also good practice to remove the skidplate occasionally and clean out trapped sand, grit, and dirt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the complete V10 search coil?
No. This product is the protective plastic skidplate only. It does not contain electronic components.
Will it fit my Minelab VANQUISH 440?
Yes, if your detector is equipped with the original V10 10" x 7" search coil.
Will this fit the V10X coil?
Do not assume compatibility. The V10 and V10X are different coil models. Confirm the correct replacement cover before ordering.
Does a skidplate reduce detecting depth?
A properly fitted, clean, nonmetallic skidplate should not noticeably affect normal detector performance.
Should I remove the skidplate for cleaning?
Yes. Periodic cleaning helps remove sand, grit, and other debris that may collect between the cover and the coil.
