White 14 in (36 cm) skidplate as pictured, the protective cover for the GPZ 7000's GPZ 14 coil. Official OEM part sold by History Seekers, an authorized Minelab dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this skidplate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody swings a GPZ 7000 gently. The technique that finds deep gold keeps the coil on the deck, scrubbing across quartz, ironstone and caliche for hundreds of hours, and something has to absorb that abrasion. The bargain is simple: this plate wears through so the GPZ 14 coil shell does not, and the price difference between the two is measured in hundreds of dollars. Australian gold dealers say it plainly, change the plate when you wear through it and the coil underneath is what it saved. We list it at Minelab's approved price with metric alongside, 14 in is 36 cm, because half the GPZ conversation happens in each unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font-size: 13px; margin: 20px 0 25px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3011-0286 (Minelab \"14 in Skidplate\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e811493015774\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 in (36 cm), white (as pictured)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinelab GPZ 7000, GPZ 14 coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Minelab\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, official accessory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich coil does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the 14 in (36 cm) skidplate for the GPZ 7000's GPZ 14 coil, per dealer consensus including Minelab's Australian dealer network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy run a skidplate on a GPZ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause GPZ detecting is ground-scrubbing detecting.
