Talking about Cancel I detected with a fella a few years back who always used cancel with a 14x9NF mono.We tried in vein to explain but he was adamant his 5000 ran so quiet in this mode.He did eventually walk on a very shallow patch of about 3 or 4 pieces of a couple of grams each.

Sounds like an excellent coil.At the moment we are using 2 x 14" elites and the 14"x9"Evo.These are our favourites of the range of flat wounds.We also had the 11"Eite.Durability wise I would go for the 14"x9"Evo,this coil is proving to be very robust and finding gold regularly.We did have to buy a heavy duty skid plate for it though as they wear quicky unlike the Elites.

Some nice pics there Ash,I love the stamper.

Nice to see some more gold come to light Dave well done.

I think you summed it up nicely Steve.The SDC is one of Minelabs best ever releases particularly in the golden triangle here where it handles difficult ground so well.Its affordable for the weekend detectorist and doesn't make them feel left behind in the technology.

Your on a roll Enio,good job.

Hi JW We can only detect very early mornings or overcast days.The pictured nugget was 8.5oz and in a patch of 3 which have just over 13oz of gold in them.It was a few years back and haven't been able to crack the oz mark since then.Plenty of deep holes but the wrong colour

Yes there was good gold to be found years ago,can't seem to match finds like this anymore.Anyway the cooler weathers coming and we'll do our best this year.

Hi Flakmagnet One thing with the sovereigns is a lack of sensitivity to gold.My favourite from the PI's was the 2100 on the beach with an older 16DD white fiberglass nugget finder that was quite light with great depth.The standard 11DD also found me quite a bit of gold.

Thanks Wombat

Hi IDdesertman Both coils are finding small deep nuggets very well,the larger Elite is quieter to use in noisy ground and I can use slightly higher Rx and Stab settings.The Evo is a fair bit lighter,the skid plates are very thin so we bought a heavy duty one.The Evo can find the tiniest gold I've found 3 less than 0.05g. Hi GoldEn Nice to catch up,looks like you,ve mastered that SDC.An enjoyable weekend for us all.

Good day to all.Many people would know me from another Aussie forum.The name Deutran is colour blindness to Green.My name is Steve and my wife is Carol.We have been detecting in the golden triangle for quite a few years currently using 2x Gpx5000's with 2x 14"Elites and a NFevo 14"x9".We live in the west of the triangle and regularly detect Wedderburn,Inglewood,Kingower,Stuart mill and surrounding areas. Hope to gain further knowledge from this forum and contribute anything I learn or know that may help.

Nice to see you get this you certainly deserve it after the last hole was a duffer
