Minelab 11 inch Round DD Commander Coil for GPX, GP and SD Metal Detectors

The Minelab Commander 11 inch Double-D is an 11 inch (28 cm) round Double-D search coil from Minelab's Commander range for the GPX, GP and SD series pulse induction gold detectors, Minelab part 3011-0113. Minelab supplied the GPX 5000 with this 11 inch Double-D together with a 15 x 12 inch monoloop coil.

Minelab states that all Commander coils are compatible with the GPX 4500 and GPX 5000, and the Commander 11 inch Double-D also fits the earlier GPX, GP and SD detectors listed above. The Minelab GPX 6000 takes its own GPX 11, GPX 14 and GPX 17 coils instead. Our Minelab parts and accessories by detector model page sorts every Minelab coil by detector.

When to use the Commander 11 inch Double-D

The 11 inch Double-D is the round, mid-size coil in the Commander Double-D range, between the 10 x 5 inch and the 15 x 12 and 18 inch coils, and Minelab supplied it as standard with the GPX 5000. Minelab's GPX manuals note that a larger coil will typically find targets buried deeper in the ground but can be less sensitive to smaller targets. Minelab's GPX manuals note that a smaller coil is typically more sensitive to small targets but does not go as deep as a larger coil, is lighter, and can be easier to maneuver through thick scrub or rough terrain, and that in high trash concentrations a smaller coil is preferable. We see it as the manageable starting point when mineralized ground or interference makes a monoloop hard to listen to.

Minelab's GPX 5000 and GPX 4800 manual says Iron Reject and the Cancel setting work only with a Double-D coil, and that Cancel provides a receive field that is particularly stable in areas of electrical interference. Where the ground is in doubt, we suggest running the 11 inch Double-D and a monoloop over the same clean patch and keeping whichever gives the steadier threshold. Use only the coil modes and iron rejection your detector supports, and ground balance after fitting. Minelab's GPX manuals say the coil may be used in light rain but take care not to immerse it in water. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and winding trade coverage for separation.
