    The Minelab V8X delivers enhanced depth and target separation for your X-Terra Pro, Elite, or Vanquish V60 detector. This waterproof 8x5 elliptical DD coil excels in trashy areas where precise target identification matters most.

    Key Benefits

    • Improved target separation in iron-heavy sites with elliptical DD configuration

    • Waterproof design lets you hunt creek beds and wet sand without worry

    • Enhanced depth on coin-sized targets compared to stock coils

    • Included protective skid plate extends coil life in rocky terrain

    • Quick-swap compatibility with Vanquish V60 SeriesX-Terra Pro and Elite detectors

    • Note: Not compatible with the Vanquish 40 series

    Real-World Performance

    The 8x5 elliptical shape gives you better maneuverability around obstacles while maintaining solid depth on targets. DD coils like this one provide excellent ground balance in mineralized soil - something you'll appreciate if you hunt old homesteads or areas with high iron content. The waterproof rating means you can work shallow water or hunt right after rain without damaging the electronics.

    This coil works particularly well for relic hunting and coin shooting where you need to thread between trash targets. The included skid plate isn't just protection - it also helps the coil glide smoothly over rough ground without snagging.
