Metal Detector Parts & Accessories

Metal detector parts and accessories for Minelab, XP, Nokta, Garrett, Fisher and Quest detectors, plus parts for older White's and Tesoro machines. To find the part for your detector, pick your model in the Compatible filter on this page, or start with a part type below. Most listings name the models they fit. Not sure? Call or email us with your detector model and we will confirm the fit before you order.

How to Find the Right Part for Your Detector

Start with the exact model name printed on your control box. Parts that look alike often fit only one generation: the lower shafts and arm cuffs for the Minelab EQUINOX 600 and 800 are separate listings from those for the EQUINOX 700 and 900, and the XP DEUS II remote takes its own replacement parts. Pick your model in the Compatible filter (Minelab, XP, Nokta, Garrett, Fisher, White's, Quest or Teknetics), then narrow by part type. Check the fit list in the listing as well. If your model is not in the filter or the fit list leaves a doubt, call or email us with the model, and the coil size for coil parts, and we will check it for you.

Coil Covers and Skidplates

A coil cover, also called a skidplate, is a snap-on shell that takes the scrapes from rocks, gravel and sand so the coil housing does not. Minelab coils include a coil cover, so a new one is a replacement for a worn or cracked cover. Covers are sized to the coil: the Minelab GPX 6000 has separate skidplates for its 11, 14 and 17 inch coils, and Nokta makes 6 inch and 11 inch covers for Legend coils plus a 13.5 x 12.5 inch cover for the coil of the Legend and the Score series. We also stock covers for MANTICORE, Garrett ACE, AT and Axiom coils, XP coils, plus covers from Coiltek. When you order, check the coil size and model printed on your coil, not only the detector name. Shopping for the coil itself? See our search coils.

Batteries, Chargers and Battery Holders

Many current detectors run on a rechargeable pack, and we carry the replacement packs and charging cables for them: one battery fits the EQUINOX 700, EQUINOX 900, X-TERRA PRO and X-TERRA ELITE, the MANTICORE and the GPX 6000 each take their own pack, and XP sells replacement batteries for DEUS II coils and for the WS6 ST, WSA ST and WSA-XL ST headphones. A single Minelab charging cable covers the EQUINOX, MANTICORE, X-TERRA PRO and ELITE and VANQUISH 360, 460 and 560. For AA machines we carry battery holders such as the 8 x AA holder for the White's DFX, XLT, MXT and M6 and the battery holder for the Garrett AT Pro, AT Gold, AT Max and ATX. Our EQUINOX charging guide covers charge time and battery care.

Shafts, Arm Cuffs and Harnesses

Replacement shafts come from the detector makers and from aftermarket shops. Minelab, XP, Nokta and Garrett sell upper and lower shafts, telescopic stems and arm cuffs for their own models. Anderson and Steve's Detector Rods build carbon fiber shafts and lower rods for models such as the MANTICORE, EQUINOX, CTX 3030, DEUS II and the Garrett ACE and AT series, and Detect-Ed makes shafts for the EQUINOX and the XP DEUS, DEUS II, ICON and ICONX. Arm cuffs, straps and padding change how the detector sits on your forearm, and harnesses from Minelab and DetectorPro take weight off your arm on machines such as the MANTICORE, GPZ 8000, GPX series and DEUS II. Check the fit list on each shaft: a rod for the EQUINOX 600 and 800 is a different part from one for the EQUINOX 700 and 900.

Screen Protectors, Rain Covers and Control Box Protection

Screen protectors keep scratches off the display of the MANTICORE, EQUINOX, X-TERRA PRO and ELITE, the DEUS II remote, ICON, ICONX and the Nokta Legend, Score and Simplex series. We also carry replacement window decals for the White's XLT, DFX, MXT, M6 and Goldmaster GMT. Rain and dust covers wrap the control box against rain, mud and dust: Garrett makes covers for the ACE series and ACE Apex, Detect-Ed for the MANTICORE, EQUINOX, X-TERRA PRO and ELITE and Legend 2, and our own Serious Detecting covers fit the EQUINOX and the GPX 4500, 4800 and 5000.

Small Hardware: Bolts, Washers, O-Rings and Twist Locks

We stock coil bolts and washers, coil hardware kits for the MANTICORE and EQUINOX, twist locks for EQUINOX shafts, O-rings for the GOLD MONSTER 2000, EQUINOX 700 and 900, MANTICORE, X-TERRA PRO and VANQUISH 460 and 560, control knobs for the Excalibur, and replacement housings, speaker and plug parts for the XP DEUS II remote. Replace worn coil washers so the coil holds its angle as you swing. We also carry lanyards and carry straps, remote controls, antennas and modules and handle parts.

Parts for Older Detectors

White's closed in 2020 and Garrett acquired its assets; Tesoro closed in 2018. We carry parts for both brands in our White's Electronics and Tesoro collections, and our parts pages for the VANQUISH 340, VANQUISH 440, VANQUISH 540 and EQUINOX 800 collect the coils and parts that fit those models. The Compatible filter also lists older models such as the Minelab Explorer, E-TRAC, Safari, Sovereign, X-TERRA 705 and GPX 4000 to 5000, the Garrett GTI 2500, Infinium, Sea Hunter Mark II and ATX, and the Fisher F2 and F4. If you do not see the part for your machine, contact us with the model.

How do I protect my metal detector coil from damage?

To protect your metal detector coil from damage, keep a coil cover on it and replace the cover once it wears thin or cracks. Covers are made for one coil size and shape, so check the size and model printed on your coil and choose from our coil covers.

After a beach or saltwater hunt, we rinse the coil and cover in fresh water and clear out any sand trapped between them. Lift the coil over rocks and curbs instead of dragging it, and store the detector so nothing presses on the coil. Our coil guide explains coil types and sizes.

What batteries should I use in my metal detector in cold weather?

For cold-weather metal detecting, use lithium AA cells in an AA detector when its manual lists them as an approved battery, and carry a spare charged pack or spare cells in an inside pocket where body heat keeps them warm. Energizer rates its L91 lithium AA cell for use from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).

For a detector with a built-in rechargeable pack, start the hunt fully charged and bring a spare pack if your model takes one. Find packs and charging cables for your model in our batteries and chargers.

Can I get replacement shafts for my metal detector?

Yes, you can get replacement shafts for most current metal detectors and many older ones. You can replace one section (upper, middle or lower) or the whole shaft, with original parts from Minelab, XP, Nokta and Garrett or a carbon fiber upgrade from Anderson or Steve's Detector Rods.

Shafts are made for specific models, so pick your detector in the Compatible filter and open Shafts & Rods. If your model is not listed, contact us with the model and we will check what fits.

What accessories are essential for new metal detectorists?

The essential accessories for new metal detectorists are a pinpointer to find the target in the hole, a hand digger or shovel to recover it, and headphones to hear faint signals in wind or traffic. A finds pouch from our bags and pouches keeps finds and trash apart, and a coil cover protects the coil.

Our getting started guide walks through the rest of a first kit.

Answered by John W. · April 2026

Do you have parts for older or discontinued metal detectors?

Yes, we have parts for many older metal detectors. Parts for White's and Tesoro machines are in our White's Electronics and Tesoro collections, and older Minelab, Garrett and Fisher models are listed in the Compatible filter on our parts and accessories page.

If you cannot find the part, contact us with the detector model and the part you need; a photo of the old part helps us match it.

Answered by Dan P. · June 2026

How do I remove a metal detector coil cover?

To remove a metal detector coil cover, put your fingertips on the side of the cover and peel it backwards. It starts to come loose at the edges, and from there the cover lifts off the coil.

Take the cover off from time to time: dirt and water collect between the cover and the coil and can cause false signals as you sweep. Clean out the cover, then fit it back on. If you need a new one, see our coil covers.
