Minelab EQX 15 15 x 12 inch DD Waterproof Coil and Lower Rod Kit

The Minelab EQX 15 15 x 12 inch elliptical Double-D waterproof search coil comes in this kit with a lower rod, so the large coil can stay mounted and ready to swap in. The EQX 15 coil fits the EQUINOX series, X-TERRA PRO, X-TERRA ELITE and VANQUISH 360, 460 and 560.

Who the EQX 15 kit is for

The kit suits detectorists who want the EQX 15 and prefer a dedicated lower rod for faster coil changes. It makes the most sense for anyone who regularly alternates between the 11 inch EQX 11 and the EQX 15, for example working a large open field with the EQX 15 and a busier park with the smaller coil. Minelab describes the EQX 15 itself as providing maximum depth for specialized treasure hunting and wide ground coverage in open spaces.

How we use the EQX 15 kit

We keep the EQX 15 on its own lower rod so switching between coil sizes is quicker. Changing the lower rod does not alter detection performance. After each swap, recheck the coil connection and make sure the detector runs stable before you start searching.

The mistake we see most is treating the lower rod as an upgrade. It is a convenience accessory, not a performance upgrade. A second mistake concerns the coil itself: the EQX 15 is not universally deeper than the EQX 11, particularly in difficult mineralization or dense iron. If the detector gets noisy with the larger coil, run Noise Cancel and reduce the sensitivity if needed.

Key features

• Dedicated lower rod: leaves the EQX 15 mounted for quicker changes between coil sizes.
• 15 x 12 inch (38 x 30 cm) elliptical coil: the largest EQX size, for broad areas where targets are widely separated.
• Double-D winding: the winding used on all three EQX coils.
• 660 g (23.3 oz) coil weight with skidplate: Minelab's figure for the coil with its protective skidplate.
• Waterproof coil: Minelab lists the EQX 15 as waterproof.
• 3 year Minelab warranty on the coil: the coverage Minelab gives EQUINOX, X-TERRA and VANQUISH accessories.
