17" was due this year sometime - 2021 is quickly getting away.
Oldhand on here might know more?

Have a mate who's been using one for quite awhile and his exact words are "I'm not giving it back" It's that good he has a 6000 as well as the Z and he's packed the 6000 up. So it looks like a goer .................. is that a word ?
Some came in but not enough to satisfy all pre-orders. I'd say a few may head out for a swing tomorrow and this weekend.

Always the way
Picked up my 17x13 today. Its A nice looking beast. Just out of interest I put both coils on the scales. The Nuggetfinder came in 6 grams lighter than the standard coil. Yeah, I know, it’s not much but at least it’s not heavier. A mate wants to do some depth tests compared to the standard coil before he outlays some dough. Looks like I’m the Guinea pig. Will report back on comparisons. We will also look at undug targets in the future which is a much better way of comparing coils.
Make sure you try High Yield and General. I've found General to run a little smoother on the 17" which is the key to depth on the bigger bits. In High Yield you may need to drop Sensitivity a little as the ground is still so wet everywhere. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip. That will also be a valuable part of the comparison.
Les, I've been mucking around a fair bit, and in my ground (variable) this time of the year (fairly high emi, due to storms) I have been in difficult, general, smoothing on, low, and sensitivity 15. I went over the same ground I did last week with different settings, including smoothing off, and picked 2 bits that I should have, (sure I did) walk over. The smaller sized one weighed 5.6 grams, probably 4 grams of gold, was at 17". A full coil deep.
