The Minelab M15 coil cover is a replacement protective plate for the Manticore's M15 15×12-inch elliptical Double-D search coil. It snaps over the bottom of the coil to absorb the scuffs, scratches, and impact that wear down the housing when you hunt rocky parks, mineralized ground, or saltwater beaches — so you replace a $25 cover instead of a $375 coil.
Why Manticore owners run the M15 coil cover
- Protects the coil housing from abrasion in gravel, clay, and shell-bed terrain where dragging the coil is unavoidable.
- Extends coil life by taking the wear from roots, rocks, and sand so the coil underneath stays intact.
- Protects resale value by keeping the coil cosmetically clean.
- Cheap insurance — a worn cover is a few dollars to swap; a cracked coil is a full replacement.

Rocky, mineralized, and saltwater hunts
Gravel paths, red-clay sites, ghost-town washes, and shell beds all grind against the coil's lower housing. The skid plate takes that wear so the coil doesn't. It also shields the coil when you work the surf line or tidal pools where sharp shells collect. For the wet-sand crowd, pair it with a quality sand scoop and digging tool.
