Coiltek Now Selling From Their Own Website?
Norvic replied to Rob Allison's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
No doubt its not looking good for dealers but I give em the yeh for the day, back in the "heyday" my dealer would send up to me on spec a new detector or coil to test, he knew gold was my thing and understood the new item was going to be a benefit to me, a relationship we both gained from, me no doubt more so. When he retired Minelab acknowledged he was the than longest serving OZ dealer they had, note he was a multidealer not just a Minelab dealer. I definitely give Dealers the yeh for the day. -

Coiltek Goldhawk Helps The Gpx-6000 Find Gold- Update
Norvic replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
No doubt about it the 10x5 goldhawk is a top coil, gives the 6K even more sensitivity/versatility. -
On ya, start em early, can only comment on my son he used his eyes until he was about 10 (now approaching 45), his biggest was a 43gram solid by eye, he reckoned they glowed at him. Young eyes close to the ground perhaps I don`t know but he kills me with a detector too. I just think it calls him.

Nuggetfinder Coils Release Dates For The 6000 & 7000?
Norvic replied to Sourdough Scott's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Nah, Nah NK, prospectors dont retire they just keep on reFiring.🤪 -
I found a use for the Axion backpack, it makes a tidy bag for coils in Toyota, old fella small coils to 14" that is. 😉 But a good backpack was/is a must for prospecting, current ones a Camelback KUDU20, made for cyclists but suits prospecting.

Detector Unit Consistency (long Brainstorm)
Norvic replied to GB_Amateur's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Too many variables for there to be a conclusive test other than consumer popularity of a product. eg. the current thread on the Trash Can Lid coil, some consumers got good results some didn`t or the current thread on the QZ80 detector, some will buy and swear by them. Tolerance of electronic components and even coils is far finer than tolerance of the individual consumer. -

Minelab Wall Hanger Trash Can Lid
Norvic replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Many of us joined the 1Koz club in no time behind that rubbish lid, to a certain extent this success was/is being replicated by the GPZ w/. X CC coils more recently. -

Minelab Wall Hanger Trash Can Lid
Norvic replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Yeah come with both the 2000 and early 2100s, two first ones I got worked on one channel only, third worked OK on both channels (no worries ML replaced quickly), they definitely got gold and taught us early on PIs + big coils = big gold deep. The ML plastic 18" replacement was much more reliable. Did not see many users using the small coil in those days, nothing wrong with it just those door stoppers at depth in mineralized ground way beyond the VLF capability was the go. -
Still no joy, think it might be something to do with my Satellite Internet, can load others but not that particular "amended and updated" version from that website. Not to worry it is a rich history we share some of those adventurers as they must have viewed the world as their backyard even with the difficulties of transport etc. of that era.

" A good horse will only drink sweet water" good jockeys know that.😉 -
Yeah MN not wrong weather probably can go to all extremes regardless of where we live, but I wonder, when I think California or Australia , I think gold, is it that lovely heavy stuff that draws the mongrel weather? Or is it just our feverish hobby mucking up our thinking big time, well mine at least..... let me out of this cabin..... 🤪

VicR, Aye picture I posted does show (apparently) size of OZ vs US with states and territories of OZ and the 52 US States combined, I say apparently because tis from internet???? thus maybe not accurate just a rough idea. I thought OZ would be only roughly half size of US, Strick thought maybe would be bigger, initially I`d found one showing California vs OZ and that got me thinking OZ is big in comparison, all good.
