Minelab Vanquish V8 Double-D 8x5" Elliptical Search Coil

The Minelab Vanquish V8 Double-D search coil is the compact 8x5" elliptical coil for the Vanquish series — the go-to choice when you're working trashy ground, tight spots, or iron-heavy sites where a larger coil can't separate targets cleanly. Lighter on the arm than the stock 12"×9" coil, it trades a little raw depth for crisp target separation and easy maneuverability around fences, foundations, and playgrounds.

Why detectorists run the 8" V8 coil

• Better target separation — the smaller Double-D footprint isolates good targets sitting next to trash, ideal for old parks, home sites, and relic ground.
• Gets into tight spaces — works between fence posts, around playground equipment, and along foundations where the 12"×9" coil is too big.
• Lighter swing — less fatigue over a long hunt, and a great fit for younger or smaller detectorists.
• Genuine Minelab part — a direct factory coil, not an aftermarket copy, from an authorized Minelab dealer.

Compatibility

The V8 8x5" coil fits the Minelab Vanquish 340, Vanquish 440, and Vanquish 540 — the models Minelab markets as the "Vanquish 40 Series." It's a Double-D, elliptical, open-frame coil and ships with a skidplate. (Looking for a coil for the newer waterproof Vanquish 360/460/560 "V60" series? See the V8X waterproof coil instead.)
