Ship of fools
Mat. T
I got a 6 as soon as they became available, one of the first released.
The very first thing I did was go over a mullock heap that I know I had gone over with the five thousand, I pulled 12 shot gun pellets out of that meter square, about three to four inches deep! I was left scratching my head, what had I been doing wrong with the five thousand?
I continued the day on ground I had been over with the five ( auto one no threshold) quickly found two small bits, then a patch of hot ground that just seemed different! I dug that up took it home panned it for six very small bits. The rest of the afternoon turned into my best day to that point! Beaten on the next two consecutive days!
I had trouble with the 11 inch coil, it would overload on start up and shut down but I knew this was because it was a hot coil. Eventually the coil died and replacement came very quickly but it’s a lot closer to the DD coil than the original coil, no more hot patches to pan.
