Why this coil
Small coils win in trash, and the V8X is the V-X line's trash specialist. Its tight 8 x 5 in (20 x 13 cm) Double-D footprint separates targets a larger coil hears as one signal, slips between playground equipment and fence lines, and pinpoints fast. Minelab thinks enough of it to include it as the second coil in the Vanquish 560 Pro-Pack; on an X-Terra Pro or Elite it turns iron-peppered homesites into workable ground. If your sites are picked-over parks and old yards, this is the coil that finds what the bigger-coil crowd walked over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this coil work on my Equinox?
No, and this is the one that catches people: Equinox coils fit the new Vanquish 60 series, but Vanquish V-X coils do NOT fit any Equinox. Minelab confirmed the one-way compatibility directly. If you swing an Equinox, you need EQX-series coils.
Which detectors does the V8X fit?
The full current entry and mid line: Vanquish 360, 460, and 560 (including Pro-Pack), X-Terra Pro, and X-Terra Elite. All use the same coil connection and camlock system.
Is this the coil that comes with a detector, or an extra?
The V8X is the compact sniper of the V-X line, included as the second coil in the Vanquish 560 Pro-Pack. Sold here as a standalone genuine accessory: run it as your spare, your site-specialist, or your replacement.
Every History Seekers order is packed by people who run these machines in the field. We know which coil earns its place in the truck, because ours ride there too. The story is more important than the artifact.
