At a glance
Genuine Minelab accessory, part 3011-0428, UPC 811493017471. Fits: Minelab GPX 11 11 in Monoloop coil (GPX 6000). Official OEM part sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer.
Why this part
The GPX 11 is the coil most GPX 6000s wear every single day, which makes its skidplate the hardest-working consumable on the machine. Prospecting ground is abrasive by nature, and the plate exists to be ground away so the coil is not. This is the genuine Minelab skidplate molded for the GPX 11: exact fit, flush edges, no rattle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit the GPX 14 or 17?
No, each coil has its own molded plate: GPX 14 takes 3011-0429 and GPX 17 takes 3011-0430, both listed separately.
How often do skidplates need replacing in the goldfields?
Heavy hunters on abrasive ground can wear one in a season; occasional detectorists get years. Replace when worn through or loose.
Is it really worth using one?
A skidplate costs a fraction of the coil it protects. Every worn-out plate is damage the coil never took.
Every History Seekers order is packed by people who run these machines in the field. We stock the wear parts because ours wear out too. The story is more important than the artifact.
