The 18" Commander Monoloop coil delivers the deepest detection capabilities in Minelab's Commander series, specifically engineered for prospectors who need to reach deeply buried gold targets that smaller coils simply can't detect.
Key Performance Benefits
Maximum depth detection - reaches deeper gold than any other Commander coil
Superior ground coverage - covers more territory per sweep for efficient prospecting
Water-resistant construction - handles creek beds and wet conditions
Premium Litz wire technology - delivers stronger signal transmission and sensitivity
Gold-plated connectors and low-noise cable - ensures reliable performance in the field
Complete kit with protective coil cover and mounting hardware included
Built for Deep Gold Detection
This isn't a coil for small shallow nuggets - the 18" Commander excels at finding substantial gold pieces buried deep in the ground. While it won't pick up tiny specks near the surface, it'll locate deeper targets that you'd walk right over with smaller coils. The large diameter covers serious ground quickly, making it ideal for working large areas or following promising geological features.
Minelab's engineering team designed Commander coils specifically to maximize the performance of Minelab metal detectors using MPS (Multi-Period Sensing) technology. The special multi-strand Litz wire provides greater surface area for signal transmission compared to standard coil wire, resulting in more powerful and energy-efficient detection.
Professional Build Quality
Built to handle the demanding conditions of goldfield prospecting, this coil features robust construction with high-quality components throughout. The gold-plated plugs resist corrosion, while the shielded cable minimizes electromagnetic interference that can cause false signals.
Complete Compatibility
Works with GPX 5000, GPX 4800, GPX 4500, GPX 4000, GP Extreme, GP 3500, GP 3000, and all SD series detectors (SD 2000, SD 2100, SD 2100e, SD 2100v2, SD 2200d, SD 2200v2). Check our Minelab compatibility guide for specific detector requirements.
