The Minelab 11-inch EQX 11 coil cover is a replacement skidplate designed for the stock round coil on the Equinox 600 and 800 detectors. Equinox owners working rocky parks, mineralized ground, or gravel beaches wear through the factory skidplate after a season of heavy use, and this replacement restores the coil's abrasion protection without replacing the entire coil assembly. The black polymer construction shields the coil housing from direct contact with rocks, roots, and hardpack.

Why Equinox 600 and 800 Owners Replace the Skidplate
- Restores abrasion protection after the factory skidplate wears through from repeated dragging across rocks, gravel, or hardpack soil.
- Maintains coil housing integrity in high-wear environments without the expense of replacing the entire EQX 11 coil assembly.
- Black polymer construction matches the original factory skidplate for a clean appearance and durable wear surface.
- Round 11-inch geometry fits the stock Equinox 600 and 800 coil precisely, with no trimming or modification required.

Protection for Rocky Parks and Mineralized Ground
The 11-inch EQX 11 coil cover extends coil life in environments where the factory skidplate degrades quickly. Detectorists working iron-laden Civil War sites, volcanic soil in the Southwest, or glacial gravel in the Midwest scrape the coil across rocks and roots with every sweep, and the polymer skidplate absorbs that abrasion before it reaches the coil housing. Factory skidplates can wear through quickly on rocky terrain, exposing the coil shell to direct impact. Replacing the skidplate at the first sign of thinning prevents deeper damage and keeps the coil watertight. The round 11-inch geometry matches the stock Equinox coil's profile, so the cover seats flush without gaps that trap debris.
