Description

The Minelab V8 8″ skidplate protects your search coil from rocks, roots, and abrasive surfaces that can damage the housing during detecting sessions. This OEM replacement part fits precisely on the V8 Double-D coil, maintaining the coil’s ground clearance and detection capabilities.

Key Protection Features

• Perfect fit guarantee – Designed specifically for the V8 8″ and V8X Double-D search coil
• Durable construction – Withstands impacts from rocks and rough terrain
• Easy installation – Snaps on securely without tools or modifications
• Maintains performance – Won’t interfere with detection depth or sensitivity
• Essential protection – Prevents costly coil housing damage and water intrusion

Compatible Metal Detectors

This skidplate works with all Minelab Vanquish series detectors (340, 440, 540) as well as the X-Terra Pro and X-Terra Elite when equipped with the V8 8″ and V8X coil. It’s a smart investment that extends your coil’s lifespan, especially if you hunt in rocky areas or aggressive soil conditions.

The skidplate’s low-profile design won’t affect your detecting technique or coil maneuverability. Many detectorists consider coil protection essential gear – a damaged coil housing can let moisture in and cost significantly more to replace than this simple protective accessory.

Installation & Maintenance

The skidplate attaches directly to the coil housing bottom without permanent modifications. Clean it periodically to remove built-up dirt and debris that could affect the fit. For more Minelab accessories and parts, browse our complete selection of genuine OEM components.
