The Minelab EQX 11 coil is the go-to upgrade for serious detectorists running Equinox or X-Terra detectors. This 11-inch Double-D configuration strikes the perfect balance between depth, ground coverage, and swing weight — making it ideal for everything from coin shooting in parks to relic hunting in trashy areas.
Key Features
- Superior depth performance with 11-inch Double-D configuration for maximum target separation
- Fully waterproof design lets you hunt beaches, streams, and shallow water without worry
- Excellent ground balance handles mineralized soil better than concentric coils
- Lightweight construction reduces arm fatigue during long hunting sessions
- Protective skid plate included keeps your coil looking new in rocky terrain
- Universal compatibility works with Equinox 600, 700, 800, 900, X-Terra Pro, and X-Terra Elite
Why Choose the EQX 11 Over Stock Coils
If you're hunting with the standard coil that came with your Equinox 800 or 900, you're missing out on the EQX 11's superior target separation in trashy areas. The Double-D design excels at punching through iron nails and bottle caps to find the good stuff underneath.
Beach hunters especially love this coil because it stays stable in wet sand and salt conditions where other coils struggle. The waterproof rating means you can wade right into the surf zone where most people can't detect.
Best Applications
This coil shines in iron-heavy sites like old homesteads and Civil War camps. The DD configuration gives you a narrow detection pattern that slices between junk targets. It's also excellent for coin hunting in parks where you need good depth but don't want to dig massive holes.
For gold prospecting with your Minelab Equinox, the EQX 11 provides better ground tracking than smaller coils while still maintaining sensitivity to small nuggets.
