    The Coiltek NOX 10x5 is an elliptical Double-D search coil engineered for tight-space hunting on the Minelab Equinox 900 metal detector, Equinox 600/700/800, Minelab X-TERRA Pro metal detector – multi-frequency, waterproof, built for the field, Minelab X-TERRA ELITE metal detectors – coils, bundles & accessories, and Minelab Vanquish 460 metal detector - multi-frequency and waterproof. Equinox owners working trashy parks, crowded playgrounds, and relic sites littered with iron need a coil that separates good targets from trash without sacrificing depth. The 10x5 elliptical footprint delivers concentrated sensitivity in a blade-like detection field that fits between fence posts, around playground equipment, and through dense brush where standard round coils struggle.

    What's Included with the Coiltek NOX 10x5 DD Coil

    • Coiltek NOX 10x5 DD Coil for Equinox and X-TERRA Pro
    • Pre-installed protective skidplate

    Why Equinox and X-TERRA Pro Owners Reach for the Coiltek 10x5

    • Slim 5-inch width accesses cramped quarters where round coils won't fit, between fence posts, around playground legs, inside old foundation corners.
    • DD electromagnetic field slices through iron trash while maintaining coin and jewelry depth, so you recover silver in nail beds and gold rings under bottle caps.
    • Lightweight 15oz construction reduces arm fatigue during four-hour park sessions and all-day relic hunts.
    • Waterproof to 3 meters on Equinox 600/800 and 5 meters on Equinox 700/900, X-TERRA Pro, and X-TERRA Elite, hunt wet sand, streams, and shallow water without worry.
    • Plug-and-play compatibility across six detector models means you swap coils in seconds and start hunting with your preferred settings.

    Tighter Target Separation in Trashy Park Sites

    Old Homesteads and Urban Demolition Sites

    The 10x5 elliptical shape creates a concentrated detection field that excels in high-trash environments where nails, bottle caps, and foil outnumber coins ten to one. The DD configuration produces a blade-like electromagnetic field that cuts through ferrous clutter while maintaining sensitivity to non-ferrous targets at depth. We've run this coil on Equinox 800 at iron-littered homesteads and recovered seated silver between rusty square nails that blanked out with the stock 11-inch round coil. The narrow 5-inch profile also improves pinpointing precision, you'll spend less time digging oversized plugs and more time recovering targets. For best results in dense iron, run Park 2 mode with iron bias at F2=0 and recovery speed at 6-7.

    • Best for: Equinox 700/800/900 and X-TERRA Pro users hunting trashy parks, old homesteads, demolition sites, and relic fields with heavy iron contamination.
    • Less ideal for: Open beaches and farm fields where a larger coil's coverage and depth advantages outweigh the 10x5's separation benefits.

    Playgrounds and Modern Parks with Pull-Tab Clutter

    Modern parks present a different challenge, aluminum pull-tabs, foil wrappers, and bottle caps concentrated around benches and playground equipment. The 10x5's maneuverability shines here. You can sweep tight figure-eights around swing-set legs and slide supports where larger coils hit obstacles mid-swing. The focused detection field also improves target ID consistency on deep coins masked by surface trash. We've used this coil on Equinox 600 at wood-chip playgrounds and pulled gold rings from under jungle gyms that other detectorists walked past. The elliptical geometry reduces ground coverage per swing compared to a round coil, but in confined spaces you're not sacrificing speed, you're gaining access.

    Which Minelab detectors is the Coiltek 10x5 coil compatible with?

    The Coiltek NOX 10x5 coil is compatible with the Minelab Equinox 600, 700, 800, and 900, as well as the X-TERRA Pro, X-TERRA Elite, and Vanquish 460. All six models use the same coil connector, so the 10x5 is a true plug-and-play accessory, you attach the coil, power on the detector, and start hunting with your saved settings. No firmware updates or manual adjustments are required. The coil works across all detection modes (Park, Field, Beach, Gold) on compatible detectors.

    How deep does the 10x5 coil detect coins compared to the stock Equinox coil?

    The Coiltek 10x5 coil trades raw depth for improved target separation and maneuverability in trashy environments. The smaller elliptical design provides reduced depth compared to the stock coil in exchange for better separation capabilities in iron-contaminated ground, where the 10x5's focused DD field maintains target ID consistency that larger coils lose. If you're hunting open fields for maximum depth, a larger coil is the better choice. If you're working trashy parks or relic sites where good targets hide between iron, the 10x5's separation advantage recovers finds that larger coils mask. The concentrated detection field excels at isolating individual targets in cluttered soil conditions.

    Answered by Richard T. · July 2026

    Is the Coiltek 10x5 fully waterproof for beach and stream hunting?

    The Coiltek NOX 10x5 coil is fully submersible and rated to match your detector's waterproof depth. On the Equinox 600 and 800, the coil is waterproof to 3 meters. On the Equinox 700, 900, X-TERRA Pro, and X-TERRA Elite, the coil is waterproof to 5 meters. The cable connection is sealed, and the coil housing is designed for underwater use. We've used this coil in wet sand, shallow surf, and freshwater streams without issue. The elliptical shape is slightly easier to control in current compared to a large round coil.

    What hunting scenarios favor the 10x5 elliptical coil over a round coil?

    The Coiltek 10x5 elliptical coil excels in tight-space and high-trash scenarios where larger round coils struggle. Cramped quarters, between fence posts, around playground equipment, inside old foundation corners, are the 10x5's natural environment because the narrow 5-inch width fits where round coils hit obstacles. Trashy sites with dense iron or aluminum clutter also favor the 10x5 because the DD field's blade-like shape slices through ferrous trash while maintaining sensitivity to non-ferrous targets. If you're hunting open beaches, farm fields, or low-trash parks where coverage and depth matter most, a larger round coil is the better tool.

    Answered by John W. · July 2026

    Does the 10x5 coil require any settings changes on the Equinox or X-TERRA Pro?

    The Coiltek NOX 10x5 coil does not require settings changes when you first attach it to your Equinox or X-TERRA Pro. The coil is plug-and-play, so your saved settings (sensitivity, recovery speed, iron bias, discrimination) carry over automatically. The only adjustment you might make is sensitivity, in electrically noisy environments or highly mineralized soil, you may need to lower sensitivity by 1-2 points compared to the stock coil. Running a noise cancel after attaching the coil is good practice, but the detector does not require a factory reset or mode reconfiguration.

    How does the 10x5 coil perform for gold prospecting on the Equinox?

    The Coiltek 10x5 coil is the most sensitive option in the NOX series for small gold because the concentrated detection field improves response to sub-gram targets. In Gold mode on an Equinox 800 or 900, the 10x5 detects small nuggets and fine jewelry that larger coils miss, especially in mineralized soil where the smaller footprint reduces ground noise. The elliptical shape also helps in rocky goldfields where you're working around boulders and between bushes. Swing slowly and listen for subtle threshold breaks, small gold often produces faint, repeatable signals rather than loud tones.

    What is included with the Coiltek 10x5 coil, and does it come with a warranty?

    The Coiltek NOX 10x5 coil ships with a pre-installed protective skidplate that guards the coil housing against rocks and abrasive surfaces during ground contact. The coil is covered by Coiltek's 2-year manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship. Coiltek is an Australian manufacturer with a reputation for durable construction, and the NOX series is engineered to handle wet sand, mineralized soil, and rough field conditions. Coil hardware color may vary from images shown.
