Minelab M8 Coil with Skidplate 8"x5.5" Elliptical Double-D for Manticore

Minelab M8 Coil with Skidplate (8" x 5.5" Elliptical DD) for the Manticore 

Minelab M8 Coil — 8" x 5.5" Elliptical Double-D

The M8 is a smaller, elliptical coil built for precision. Where the stock M11 is designed to balance depth and coverage across a wide range of conditions, the M8 narrows that focus toward target separation — the ability to read individual targets cleanly when they're sitting close together or surrounded by iron.

In the field, that matters most on densely trashed sites: older parks, colonial-era properties, cellar holes, and iron-littered relic grounds where the M11 may struggle to isolate a good signal from the noise around it. The M8's smaller footprint means it's processing a tighter area on each sweep, which translates to cleaner, more confident reads on targets that would otherwise blur together or get masked entirely. It's also lighter than the stock coil at 400g with skidplate, which makes a noticeable difference on long hunts.

If you regularly hunt sites where you're pulling nails and junk out of the ground and wondering what you're missing underneath them, the M8 is the coil that answers that question.

Best for:

• Trashy parks and iron-infested areas
• Tight spaces and dense targets
• Hunters who want cleaner signals and more confident digs

Why choose this over larger coils:
If your priority is finding good targets hiding among trash rather than covering maximum ground, the M8 offers the most reliable improvement you can make to the Manticore.
