Using that thing would be a total waste of time imo.

From a pratical and easy to do stand point I would be happy with some improvements in ergonomics, just put a 2300 or an ATX in a 3lb box, I wouldn't care if I had to change batteries every 3-5 hrs.

Not to interested in 11"" coil, but am anxiously awaiting the elliptical and the 40kz.

I don't look at it as buying a new coil, but as a new detector with 4 new freqs. By adding an other shaft and handle (which l have a lot of) I have 2 detectors.

Yeah, It's not a machine that impresses me, but for some reason the guys/gals that have them always seem to have the finds but there again I have searched the same ground and dug what they have missed, most likely through their bad coil control than any thing else, and there is some wild claims out there one of which I posted here yesterday, If I had to pick either the CTX or the Deus I would choose the CTX for one I trust ML and those $500 coils really hurt, and because I need the recovery speed without the expense of those coils has kept me using the machines I have, but our friends from Makro are about to change all that for me.

Yeah, it's great that ML has such inexpensive coils.

What would the specific gravity be? Would it still be a light weight metal?

I also have had some sucess with the Deus using the godfield program, but I still prefer my GB2 for small pieces. Am waiting for V4 too, if it dosen't turn out to be what l want i'll probably get a Gold Racer, but l plan to keep my Deus. lMO its the best all around detector available. lf l could have only one vlf  detector it would bethe Deus.

eolian placers can be explained, but  some shallow  gold nuggets  seem completely out of place. I found a half ouncer on the surface,with desert varnish on it and no  nore near it.

If gold goes to1500 I may buy some dollars with some of my gold

Steve..  Factory IMask defauld on the AU Gold finder is 6, but it  sounds like it should be operated at a lower number unless a higher number is needed for quieter operation. Is this correct or am l reading it wrong?

In a mountain stream gold will migrate down until it reaches bed rock, then in a  violent  flood it scoots along the bottom until it finds a hiding place ,like a crack , a hole or some obstacle to hide behind .Imo gold does not travel far from the place It entered the stream, most of the gold that reaches the oceans which is very little is very fine and take eons

Will they work with the AUgold finder?

Thanx Steve, right now all I'm interested in is the DD. Why are they  the same electronics and the coils ar the same but they are two different companies??? 

How many coil options are there and are they all DD?

Some random thoughts.      A hundred and fifty years ago there wasn't a tree to be seen around Lake tahoe. they were cut for the mining industry in VC.  If gold were so necessary, why is palladium half the price of gold and way more rare, but has more uses?    Two wrongs don't make a right. The world was a different place a hundred and fifty years ago. Destroying a a few hundred thousand acres wasn't a big deal and there were a few billion fewer people in the world. IMO suction dredging in Ca. (or anywhere else) is not harmful to the environment. Probably should be limited to 5 in. The mining scars in Peru is way worse than me forgetting to fill my detector hole.The planet will probably still be here long after the people are gone and there will be no sign of mining activity. Think I'll grab my ML and go detecting.

No bugs in my 3.2, , tis better to wait and have no bugs. 

I thought ghosts wore bed sheets with 2 hole cut out for eyes, not shorts.

 You made a good point of having that extra detector. My trouble when I started detecting I couldn't afford another one. In 66 I think I had to pay about 160.00 for A White's BFO. Before that I made one from a kit. It worked but not to the point I'd say great. I did find coins with it. That BFO was like stepping into new world. I was like Buck Rogers with it.haha

swing low and slow

Chuck.

I too started out witha Whites BFO Gold Master and it left a lot to be desired when compared to my buddies fisher T 10. KMVs. Little monster was just as good as the Gold Maaster, IMO.

A gold pan.

What difference does it make, few nugget are the exact same weight and shape and orientation. Just dig it

You compared the cost of the Deus coil to a Garrett ATPro, I compared the cost of ML coils to Deus coil.

Minelab, Coiltec, and Nugget finder charges a bundle for thier coils and all the have in them is wire.  

I,ve never found any placer gold below 5000 ft . In Colorado.

. 

The. Larger nuggets come from the head piles. I used to find lots of nuggets in the old winnoning piles, they lost morre gold than the dry washers.
