Minelab VANQUISH V12 & X-TERRA PRO V12X Skidplate – 12" x 9" Replacement Coil Cover
Protect Your Search Coil. Keep Your Detector Ready for the Next Adventure!
Your metal detector's search coil takes a beating during every hunt. From rocky creek beds and gravel-covered fields to sandy beaches and old homesteads, constant contact with the ground can cause scratches, scuffs, and unnecessary wear.
The Minelab V12 Series 12" x 9" Skidplate is a genuine Minelab replacement protective cover designed for the original VANQUISH V12 and X-TERRA PRO V12X elliptical Double-D search coils.
Also called a coil cover or scuff plate, this replaceable accessory helps protect the underside of your search coil while allowing you to keep it close to the ground for effective target detection.

Compatible Minelab Search Coils
This skidplate is designed for:
Minelab VANQUISH V12 Search Coil
Minelab X-TERRA PRO V12X Search Coil
Important: This product fits the specified search coils, not every coil available for those detectors. If you use a V8, V10, V10X, or another coil, you will need its corresponding protective cover.
Why Replace a Worn Skidplate?
A search coil is one of the most important—and expensive—components of your metal detector.
Keeping your coil close to the ground helps maintain consistent detecting performance, but it also exposes the coil housing to rough terrain.
A skidplate acts as a protective barrier between the search coil and the surfaces you encounter.
Replacing a worn cover is an affordable way to help extend the useful life of your equipment.
Ideal for All Types of Treasure Hunting
Coin Hunting: Protect your coil while searching parks, schoolyards, and old home sites.
Relic Hunting: Reduce abrasion from rocks, roots, and rough ground around historic properties.
Beach Detecting: Help shield the coil housing from abrasive sand and small stones.
Farm Field Hunting: Protect your search coil during long detecting sessions over uneven terrain.
Creek and Shoreline Detecting: Add a replaceable layer of protection when searching gravel and rocky surfaces.
