The Minelab GPX 14 is a 14 inch (36 cm) round Double-D search coil for the Minelab GPX 6000, Minelab part 3011-0426, and it ships in the box with the US GPX 6000. Minelab says the GPX 14 excels where electromagnetic interference is high and in very conductive (salty) soils, conditions that can make a monoloop coil unusable.

What is in the box with the Minelab GPX 14
Minelab's standard contents for the GPX 14 (Minelab part 3011-0426)
- Minelab GPX 14 14 inch round Double-D search coil with GPX 6000 connector
- Coil cover
Which detectors the GPX 14 fits
Minelab makes three coils for the GPX 6000: the GPX 11 11 inch round monoloop, the GPX 14 14 inch round Double-D and the GPX 17 17 x 13 inch elliptical monoloop. The US GPX 6000 ships with the GPX 11 and the GPX 14. Earlier GPX detectors such as the GPX 4500 and GPX 5000 use Minelab's Commander coils instead. Our Minelab parts and accessories by detector model page sorts every Minelab coil by detector.
When to use the GPX 14
We would fit the GPX 14 to a GPX 6000 when electromagnetic interference or conductive, salty ground makes a monoloop hard to interpret. Fitting the GPX 14 unlocks two Double-D settings on the GPX 6000. EMI Cancel, the factory preset, is for noise that is present even when the coil is held still, such as near power lines, in stormy weather or close to another detector. Conductive Ground Cancel is for noise that appears as the coil is raised and lowered over conductive (salty) soil, large open goldfields with conductive soil and wet ground. Minelab recommends a Double-D only where good results cannot be had with a monoloop.
We think the GPX 14 is one of the most important coils to understand on the GPX 6000: it is not simply a larger GPX 11, but a different coil design for different operating conditions. We would treat its cancel settings as tools for difficult ground and interference, not as an automatic performance upgrade: before giving up on a noisy patch, try the matching cancel setting, and go back to the GPX 11 when the ground allows. Every GPX 6000 coil is submersible to 1 m (3.3 ft), and Minelab's manual adds that the coil connector must not go under. The GPX 6000 itself is rain-proof only, so keep the control box out of the water. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and winding trade coverage for separation.
