Yeah that was me. Im not apologizing though. Sandwiches are special on the claim and the damn dog ate it while I was filming. Surprised thats all I said. I could of got real colorful.

Man Im struggling to get depth out of the Manti. Granted I have barely used it. But today I ran it for about an hour on some old tailing piles. Pulled a shallow piece of lead probably 3-4 grams. So I decided to re bury it and test the machine. I put it about 6 inches down. And reburied it. I was in prospector mode recovery speed 4 and 17 on sensitivity. It made not a peep. Reese and I air tested it on a nugget this summer as well on a 1/2 grammer and the coil lost it at 3 inches. Im perplexed.

🤣🤣🤣

I run manual 9 or 10 in the mornings on open ground then go to Auto +. If Im dig and detecting I run in Auto + unless Im checking tailings for missed wee bits then Ill run 9/10

Why buy new when I can pick one up used for less money. I was one of the first 5 owners in the US. So Ive been using it since the ground was frozen here. My smallest nugget .026 at 4 inches my deepest was close to 20" and over 3 grams and a couple hundred this season in between. I havent even put my 11" on this year. Reese had the 10x5 last year and it was missing gold and it doesnt glide or hold ground even close to NF. I have not seen the edge sensitivity problem some have. Mine is hot right to the outside. The best part of this coil and where it really kicks the 11" coils butt is that it is super stable especially in the high EMI times in the afternoon when the 11" gets to the point that its almost unusable. So you dont lose the faint whispers when the 11" does. We have 5 6000s on the claims at times and a couple 5000s. The last two years we have pulled many many ounces with the 6000s so Ive got a pretty damn good idea on how they behave 😘

If anybody is selling the 12x7. Ill take it. Need another. We are using them on our mines here in Montana and are killing it with them. We had the 10x5 last year and sold it. We have another 6000 that I want to put it on. Thanks

Good read. We mine primarily with the 6000s. But one of our claims has ALOT of trash in the form of nails and tin on its lower end in some old timer workings. And it its rough with the 6000. So I just picked up a manticore to weed through it. And to use on the shoulder season near town where the EMI is too much for the 6000.

Reese Townes for sure

Reese Is a gold detecting wizard no doubt.

Part way through the season I through a rock on my coil. Got a new coil from Minelab on warranty. So plenty of experience with two stock coils. Doesnt hold a candle to the 12x7 for sensitivity especially when the EMI kicks up in the afternoon.

The 12x7 continues to shine. This was a few days ago. Today I found a few more, one was .027 and I hit a 1/4 gramer at over 10" deep in rock layers that sounded alot bigger than it was. Last year I commented how I was only finding bigger nuggets with the stock coil and thought I was missing the crumbs in our claims. The 12x7 is proving that was the case. This coil impresses me everyday I use it.

Reese had it and didnt like it and sold it. I have never swung it. I pulled a .026 at several inches with the exceed this spring. Im really looking forward to the bigger coil coming out. We have alot of ground that needs surface prosecuted. Hopefully its as smooth running as the 12x7.

Pulled this 3.17 gram nugget at 20" out of our claims with Reese Townes aka Gold Seeker 5000 on Sunday. It pinged real loud. Had a great day with 4.35 grams total in the last hour of digging. Always good to hit a "patch". Worked my hole hard before it finally showed. I absolutely love this coil. Really smoothes out the 6000 and finds little bitty crumbs and big gold at depth. Game changer for digging and detecting our claims.

Cant wait for the 16"x10" Ive had tge 12x7 since January and its a game changer on my 6000. Just ready for more depth with tge bigger coil

Gold Seeker Adventures of course

Haha! Nice... You made me famous. Boy its true the camera adds a few pounds lol. It had nothing to do with a winter trapped inside with nothing to do but eat 🤣🤣. Ohh well digging at the claims should tune me up a bit.

Is weed legal in OZ or am I missing something?🤣🤣🤣

Put the 11" Minelab back on after running the NF 12x7" for the last couple of months, to run over some nugget patches I found with the NF. Right away I wished I had the NF back on. It is so smooth and stable compared the the stock 11" . I found nothing else in the patches. And hunted around the rest of the day with it. No gold. A few pieces of small iron trash and a couple birdshot is all. One thing I noticed on the stock coil is the lead shot is definitely louder on the 12x7 and the little wire and iron is ALOT louder on the stock coil 11". I moved settings on the stock coil all day trying to get it tuned in and settle down a little since my ears have gotten so used to the 12x7". Finally just settled in to the noise all the while wishing I had the NF on. After today I dont see the stock coil going back on much and am definitely looking forward to NFs release of the bigger version.

Ha! Yeah I should probably stop thinking about it too hard and just work on beating my 257 nuggets of last year and concentrate on my 500 nugget goal this year.

Reg what settings are you running the trash can lid in?

Killing it buddy! Great video

Ill have to read it. Im curious as to what makes the detectors pick up a plane signal and not emit back. Chase- Just read your post. Thanks for that.

Haha I should of said Kinda reputable but that being said. We can hear them everytime they pass over with our machines as they are. So debunk the myth and explain why their is no effect on their systems. I havent had the chance to be told why not. And yeah If I was betting it will be a deep machine. I have no doubt one is coming eventually the sales and technology have to go on.

Ive heard some talk as to why the delay in release of the 8000 and it had to do with the FAA and disruption of airline travel comms mostly from the US regulations I think. It a came from a fairly connected source. That makes my brain think they are striving for depth well beyond the 7000. Why bother with small gold in the shallows when the 6000 has that more than covered. All though it would be great to get the bits past the 6000 capability too. My money is on more sensitivity at depth, because really isnt that where every generation of detector leaves off? For me I want a mining and prospecting machine for our claims that will go deep real deep. But I suppose thats a little narrowly focused for the masses.

Thanks buddy, couldn't have got here without you. The true tiny whispers on this machine are hard to teach and it took me time to finally hear them. I know we found alot of gold with the 11" but this coil is gonna be a game changer on the claims this summer. I know I left small gold in my tailing piles. Especially in the afternoons when the EMI cranked up on the 11". That is when this coil is gonna really shine.
