    Info on Nugget Finder XP coil

    Cheers Jaros, 4500 and 5000. I found that the XP handled power line noise very well in normal and enhance timings better then running a mono coil. Jack

    Info on Nugget Finder XP coil

    Hi Guys, Has anyone had any recent experience with the Nuggetfinder XP coils that came out a few years ago. I have had recent success under power lines when using these in Enhance timings with the XP in the 'on' position, both in depth and running quiet. Playing around flicking it back to the DD...

    Detecting Agreements With Your Buddy.

    Hi Guys I have always worked on the agreement that you keep the first 1 oz per day (or trip)...anything more goes into the 50/50 (or how many other equal share split) pot. If you find a nice size piece you want to keep you negotiate a 50% or other depending on number in syndicate buy out price...

    Coiltek Gold Extreme 10x5 and 14x9 Comparison

    Great review there Les..what about commenting on depth, whats your opinion on the depth of the 14x9 on say a target over a gram compared to the 10x5 coil. Any comments??? I see this as two coils that maybe compliment each other for those who only have a SDC2300. Jack

    NuggetFinder 25" DD X-Search First Impressions

    Well done Nenad...what a great write up. I am so looking forward to the other XDD coils coming out and will always have one or two in my arsenal. I can see a 15 XDD on the end of my 4500 in areas down here on the NSW far south coast where monos struggle on the hot clay domes. Jack

    The Worth Of The 2300

    Hi Guys.. Just my two bobs bit. I have old patches that I hit every time I upgrade to a new detector, from the time I first found them with the XT1700 up to the 5k. Whilst some new models resulted in more pieces being had and some not, I think the biggest jump for me was from the XT1700 into...

    Nugget finder 12 Inch Mono evolution

    Mate..I dont know how you can say they are a dud. They are a great little coil suited for the GT. Sensitive, quiet and do go deep. Stick with it...and run it as low to the ground as you can. Regards Jack

    SDC2300 aftermarket coil information and questions

    Hi all, I have actually pre-ordered the 14x9. I love everything about the SDC with the exception of that silly rear knuckle arrangement. I have never folded mine up and it is always fully extended (no pun intended). I love the idea of the elliptical coil as my go to area is in heavy bush and...

    Sweeper Induced Metal Interferance

    Mate I run a 4500 with a 15 inch evo coil. I find that the aluminium upper shaft will cause murmurs whilst detecting due to the whip in the shaft/camlocks....car keys in my pants are readable and hit... pick in a belt holder on the waist hits and GPS and mobile phone causes annoying murmurs. All...
