Hi Steve/All
My name is Gerrit and live in the Netherlands.
Late 80 started prospecting the Swiss mountains with pan, sluis and shovel, later on, build a 5 inch dredge
and played around with it in a swiss creek for fine gold.
In 95 had a try in the yucon on the steward river with our own claimes, great adventure, butt not having big equipment killed this project lol
Sinds then, waterhunting in a drysuit is my thing, for this I use a excalibur 2 and a at pro with 3 coils.
For the roman and celtic fields for the moment I use the deeptech vista gold with 3 coils, mostly with the small eliptical because off the gigantic iron content.
Had a gpx 4000 with 4 coils for a while, specialy for hoart sites, never had any luck with it.
Used many detectors like many minelabs, ex 2 se etrek and many moore, even have a goldbug 1 with 2 coils somewhere in the house.
Steve, congrats whit your great and honest site.
Regarts from Holland
Gerrit
