Minelab built it for maximum depth and stability in highly mineralized ground, chasing medium to large gold across wide open country. Getting that depth means sweeping low, and on the big patches that translates to hours of the coil scrubbing across rocks, gravel, and hardpan. A skidplate turns that contact into a non-event: when the cover eventually wears through, you swap it and keep hunting with a coil that still looks and performs like new. A cover costs a fraction of a coil and protects the resale value of a flagship machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Minelab skidplate made specifically for the Z18 18 inch concentric toroidal coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShields the coil underside from rocks, gravel, roots, and daily scrubbing wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned by Minelab for the Z18, so fit and detector performance are preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy to fit and replace in the field, no tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheap insurance for the coil that came standard with your GPZ 8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minelab-z18-18-concentric-toroidal-coil-for-gpz-8000\"\u003eMinelab Z18 18\" Concentric Toroidal Coil\u003c\/a\u003e for the GPZ 8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious Detecting is an authorized Minelab dealer, so every part is genuine and warranty-backed.
