The Coiltek 16-inch Goldstalker Round Fitted Coil Cover is a hard plastic skid plate designed to protect your Coiltek 16-inch Goldstalker Round search coil from scuffs, scratches, and abrasion during active detecting. Gold prospectors working rocky terrain, gravel washes, and mineralized ground need coil protection that won't interfere with signal transmission, and this solid construction delivers durability without performance compromise. At 400mm diameter, it fits the 16-inch Goldstalker Round coils precisely, providing edge-to-edge coverage while maintaining the coil's ground-hugging profile.

Why Goldstalker Coil Owners Reach for This Cover
- Prevents coil damage from rocks, roots, and abrasive desert soil without adding measurable weight to your swing
- Hard plastic construction resists punctures and tears better than soft skid plates in harsh prospecting environments
- Form-fitted design maintains the coil's original ground clearance and doesn't trap debris between cover and coil housing
- Extends coil lifespan by protecting the housing from UV degradation and impact wear during transport and field use
- Available at clearance pricing, making it an affordable upgrade for protecting your investment in Coiltek search coils
Field Protection for Rocky Gold Country
Desert Prospecting and Dry Wash Hunting
Prospectors working Arizona, Nevada, and California gold fields encounter sharp decomposed granite, quartz fragments, and embedded basalt that can abrade an unprotected coil housing in a single season. This hard plastic cover takes the impact, letting you scrub the coil across rocky ground and push into crevices without worrying about housing damage. The solid construction resists punctures from mesquite thorns and cholla spines common in Sonoran Desert detecting sites. When you're working a productive patch and need to swing aggressively over uneven terrain, the cover maintains its protective barrier without flexing or separating from the coil.
