Second-first Day With The New Nugget Finder 12" Round Z Searchcoil For GPZ 7000

I purchased the 12 inch Nuggetfinder Z coil from Rob last week. I took the stock coil off and held the stock and Z coil in my arms held straight out. What a significant weight reduction on the new coil. 

I had a couple of hours free last Sunday. So I went up to a beaten patch of mine that I've found  100s of small nuggets in and a few bigger pieces.  I found this nugget in 2 hours of looking. Not sure how I missed this with the stock coil, but I did. I had to have been over that spot dozens of times. Never heard anything there. But 1st pass with the Z coil it gave me a down low with a slight warble. About 10 inches down it popped out. I also have to say  pinpointing is so much easier with this new coil. Reminded me of pinpointing with the NF coils on the gpx 5000. The weight difference and pinpointing are a major plus in my book. The 8.2 Pennywight darn near payed off the coil in 2 hours of detecting. I'll be getting out  this weekend for a full day of detecting and can give more information on new coil.

Looks like this coil may be the answer to my "I own a 7000 should I get a 6000" dilemma.  By the way, I like the old name tag better than the new one--looks more "professional".🤓

Hey Guys,

   I have a few testimonials on it so far, but here is one -  

Hey Rob, got the coil yesterday and got out for a couple hours in the evening. Worked an area where I’ve found good gold and have worked to death with the stock coil and a gold monster. I like the Z search

Aye ML no doubt can be taught little about detector manufacturing but they could take a leaf out of the aftermarket coil manufacturers book and produce even better detectors or let the aftermarket fellows do what they do best. Contentious issue I know but it is for us users benefit and users/purchasers are what tis about.

Norvic,

  I agree, Minelab could, if they really wanted to, hurt or really eliminate the aftermarket coil business, but they again why?  I think the aftermarket companies have probably increased Minelab sales over the last 20 years, allowing the customers to even have more options over other manufactures.  

The one advantage to date is there are so many items such as coils, headphones, boosters, battery system, headphones, covers, heavy duty skid plates and more available for the Minelab metal detectors and very little for other manufactures.  

Just my thoughts,

Rob
