[QUOTE="BumbleB, post: 50435, member: 722"] Mate I believe you said "No detector currently made will detect a pull tab a metre deep". I then questioned the statement against my 5000 & 18-20" coil, & u stated "With a 20" coil on a 5000 you would detect a pull tab at a metre deep - if it was still attached to the beer can". I don't think I misunderstood your comments or took them out of context. Anyway, I emailed Nugget Finder last night for clarification, so will see what they come back with. I haven't got an electronic engineering education, but I can confirm to you that with a standard 11" mono on my 5000 in highly mineralised soil in Clermont, dug a 3g nugget at approx' 500+mm (the hole was past my knee), so as I said, it would surprise the hell out of me if an extra 61% in size of coil didn't equate to a substantial increase in depth- why else would people spend $500+ on a 18" or 20" coil?? With all due respect to you Ben, either you are plain wrong, or thousands of prospectors around the country are being fed a crock of crap & Nugget Finder, & Retailers are selling rubbish........I'm pretty sure Nugget Finder aren't selling worthless rubbish. In your opinion, generally speaking, what increase in depth should that extra 61% coil size achieve? [/QUOTE]
