Garrett Infinium

Anyone using the Infinium for nugget hunting finding many nuggets with the 10"x14" mono coil or mainly the 8" mono? How about the DD's? Do the smaller coils seem to perform better than the stock 10"x14" DD? And responses appreciated.  Thanks

Hello Rod… the attached links describe a bit of my experience scanning for native silver with this unit. The primarily diabase substrates here are inundated with an endless variety of large and small iron debris, conductive pyrrhotitic rocks that produce a wonderful PI signal, and of course miscellaneous modern trash. 

The Infinium is not deepseeking compared to the Minelab offerings, but does offer an advantage with larger coils over VLF units in these ferromagnetic minerals. It possesses some iron handling capability, an important attribute in northeastern Ontario’s silverfields, and that is described in detail in both reports linked below.

In the TDI report, bypass the TDI information and go to the section pertinent to Infinium for a quick, definitive summary. The Infinium report will give you my assessment of the DD coils with respect to depth / sensitivity, and relative iron handling ability.

Our silver is generally much larger than the gold posted to forums, and either the 14” mono or 8” mono are quite serviceable. If searching for gold, utilize the 8” mono for improved depth / sensitivity to smaller targets compared to the 14” coils… as detailed in the Infinium report.
