mn90403 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have my coil! I've already sealed it with some silicon to keep the sand out. I'll go out tonight north of Los Angeles. Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I went to my meeting on Friday night and I just had to go on to a gold field after for a night hunt. The first picture is of my 'finds' for the month at the meeting. The next picture is of my 'finds' with the 6" coil. I didn't get any gold but I got lots of 1s, 2s and 3s! It was the best area I could think of on short notice. Now I think I would not go back there but to another location. Next weekend it is off to the Sierras. The coil performed well. I found more bird shot than any time I've hunted. I used Gold 1 mostly in multi and some Gold 2. I've been over much of this same area with my 11 inch and my 7000 and we still left many shot. The sensitivity was set at 23, 24 with tracking mostly off. It identifies a target in the scoop very easily. It would have found many nuggets in this location just a couple of years ago. Now I have no excuses about equipment. It is all location, location, location. This will be a fun coil to prospect new location Mitchel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
