Popular Post 1864hatter Posted October 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2019 So today I decided to take my old SD2200D coupled to my 17x10 coiltek mini ufo coil up a local creek that I has been very heavily detected. I also took along my Fisher gold bug with its 5 inch coil. My plan was to walk right up this creek detecting with the SD on the way up and then the gold bug on the way down. We have not had any decent flooding for a looooong time so any exposed bedrock has seen multiple coils by now. My plan was to target deeper areas with the Sd and then try to find some missed crumbs with the gold bug. So long story short I got a 0.6g and a 1.2g piece. Both were on the edge of bedrock areas where deeper gravels start. Having not had the sd and it's selection of large coils that long I was surprised at the comparatively small pieces it was able to detect.(when compared to the massive coil). I ran out of time to use the gold bug much but I've used it a lot in this area before so wasn't expecting much. Thanks for looking! 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I still have a couple older SD and GP detectors. Good to see some gold finds recovered with the older PI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1864hatter Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for your comments guys. I've promised myself that once I've found enough gold to cover the cost of this detector and coils I'll upgrade to a later model PI. Or a dredge... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
