    Hotfoot RUG detector

    Hello Big Johno. I tested one of those Rug detectors in open country on a gold-field behind a quad, about 10 years ago. The ground mineralisation was medium, we tried it over un-buried nuggets of small and large sizes, and at different speeds. We could not get enough adjustment on the PI, to...

    Detech 18" Concentric Coil

    Hello Ironrock. Re your questions about, can better coils be made than the current commercial coils that are available. The answer is yes, as what the manufactures and designers have to take into consideration, is ease and cost of manufacture. Re: time spent on each coil in an assembly line...

    Best Coils for GPX 5000 in the WA Goldfields

    Hello Mr Bullwinkle. You have the perfect combo there, I assume that coil is an Evo. Perhaps you could get a larger elliptical mono coil for patch finding. Chase the big gold, and you will also get most of the little ones too. Good Luck. ozziegold.
