XP Deus 13" x 11" Search Coil Cover

This cover fits the XP Deus X35 13" x 11" coil and the XP Deus II 13" x 11" FMF coil. Both coils share the same elliptical 13x11 footprint, so the cover stretches over either one without modification. It does not fit the 9-inch round coils or the 11-inch round coils, which require different cover sizes. Detectorists who own both the original Deus and the Deus II can use this single cover across both platforms if they run the large elliptical coil on each machine.

The cover installs by stretching it over the coil perimeter and seating it against the coil shell. Start at one end of the ellipse and work the cover around the edge, pulling gently to avoid tearing the material. No tools, adhesive, or hardware are required. The flexible polymer construction allows the cover to stretch over the coil and seat tightly enough to stay in place during detecting without slipping or bunching. XP designed the cover for easy field installation and removal when needed.

The cover does not reduce detection depth or sensitivity in any measurable way. The thin polymer construction sits close to the coil shell and does not introduce spacing or mass that would interfere with the electromagnetic field. The cover's job is to absorb abrasion, not to shield the coil from signals. Detectorists use these covers specifically because they protect the coil shell without compromising performance, allowing full detection capability while preventing damage from rocks, roots, and abrasive ground conditions.

This cover is designed specifically for the XP Deus X35 13x11 coil and the XP Deus II FMF 13x11 coil. The cover is molded to match the elliptical footprint and shell profile of these specific XP coils. Detectorists who own Minelab, Garrett, or Nokta detectors need to source covers designed for those specific coil models.

Cover lifespan depends on hunting frequency and ground conditions. Detectorists who hunt rocky fields or gravel-heavy parks will see faster wear than those who hunt softer soil. The polymer shows surface scuffing long before it tears or punctures, so you'll have visual warning when replacement is due. Replacing a worn cover is far cheaper than repairing a cracked coil shell, and many Deus owners keep a spare cover in their kit to swap mid-hunt if the first one tears. XP offers these covers as consumable protective accessories designed to take the abuse that would otherwise damage the coil.

The cover does not interfere with the coil's waterproof rating. The XP Deus X35 13x11 coil and the Deus II FMF 13x11 coil are both waterproof coils, and the cover sits on the outside of the coil shell without penetrating the seal or creating water-entry points. Detectorists who wade creeks or hunt wet sand can run the cover without compromising the coil's submersion capability. The cover itself is not sealed or waterproof-rated, but it does not need to be because it does not contact the coil's internal electronics.

The cover is designed for field use and can be removed and reinstalled as needed. Pull gently when removing the cover to avoid snagging the edge on the coil lugs. Detectorists who swap coils mid-hunt or who transport their detector with the cover on and remove it for storage can cycle the cover on and off without immediate tearing. The material stretches slightly with repeated use, so a cover that feels tight on the first install may seat more loosely over time. When the cover no longer grips the coil edge firmly, it's time to replace it.

This is a replacement coil cover for the XP Deus X35 13x11 and Deus II FMF 13x11 coils. XP manufactures a full range of scuff covers to fit their search coils, and this cover matches the 13x11 elliptical footprint specified for these coil models. Detectorists who lose or wear out their original cover can use this replacement to restore coil protection. For the full range of XP metal detectors and accessories, the linked collection includes coils, covers, and hardware for both Deus generations.

The lightweight polymer construction adds minimal weight to the coil. The 13x11 elliptical coil is already one of the larger coils in the XP lineup due to its size, and the cover's mass is a small fraction of the coil's total weight. Hunters who swing the coil for hours at a time in open fields or parks use these covers specifically because they provide abrasion protection without altering the coil's handling characteristics. The thin material conforms closely to the coil shell and does not shift the balance point or create drag during the swing.

If the cover tears during a hunt, you can continue detecting without it for the remainder of the session, but the coil shell will be exposed to abrasion. Many detectorists carry a spare cover in their finds pouch or backpack for this reason, especially when hunting rocky or root-heavy ground where tears are more likely. A torn cover does not affect coil function or waterproofing, it only removes the protective barrier. At the end of the hunt, remove the torn cover and install a new one before the next outing.
