Bought a Whites DD 6x10" elliptical coil for the GM3, to replace the concentric coil for highly mineralised areas. Should compliment the 6x4" Shooter as a general detecting coil.
Today I BOUGHT

I bought a Garrett Pro Pointer and received it today ...
My son bought the Minelab version and we have used it for a couple of weeks. It does the job but the Garrett is more sensitive and goes deeper from our preliminary testing - I will let you know how it goes in the field.

Needless to say, I won't be getting any Christmas prezzies, went down to Miners Den to get a beach scoop came back with a small gold nugget scoop, and a Coiltek WOT for the XT17000 instead, especially upon reading Argyle's comments on this coil with the Eureka/XT18000/XT17000. Funnily enough, it is currently the same price as the Goldsearch 11", plus being fully water proof made it an easy choice.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes. Same as Loamer, I'm looking at buying one also.

They both have their pros and cons, the Garrett may be more sensitive, but their track record for quality control regarding dodgy sensors and the infamous button issue was enough to put me off. No issues with the Profind so far, even think I'm warming to the Nokta RS now. I think Phil at the Gold Mining Centre in Adelaide is still doing the Propointers for $160, plus $10 postage or free pickup. He has fixed many propointers over the years, and personally checks the functionality of each one he sells so you don't end up with a doa pinpointer, or one with the known issues.
Warranties are great, but who wants to ship their pinpointer back and forth all the time getting things fixed or totally replaced, when they should just work properly in the first place.

It's a bit like a holden vs ford thing really, both pinpointers will do the job, just have to remember that they are pinpointers, not detectors.

they released that short handled shovel just in time for Santas Elves coming off shift and starting their holidays digging the creeks around Oz.

An 11" Anti-Interference coil for my 5k. Amazingly quiet in places I couldn't get before 'cause of EMI.
