Coiltek Goldhawk Is Impressive On My Gpx-6000

[Aureous]

The reversed signal activates upon the conductivity of the nugget in question. Thicker, heavier ones will trigger the 'inverted' dipping signals (probably channel 1). The 6000 seems to 'trigger' the inverted signal on smaller gold than previous GPX's. Ive had even a .9gm one do it. And yes, as JP suggests, the ground conditions and use of 'difficult' certainly appears to have an affect.

Nice day out with the 9" Goldhawk Coil in a new spot in the Inglewood/Wedderburn area. Some of the recovery wasn't the greatest in the thick bush.

So what would you say the benefits of this 9" coil are over the stock 11" other than a slightly smaller size?

It's difficult to know which coils to get.

It’s my favourite of the three Goldhawk coils, but I prefer circular coils over elliptical (personal preference) normally. For a small coil it does punch deep and has great sensitivity and manoeuvrability in thick bush.

More coils are added benefits in certain situations.  We all love the GPX-4500/5000 as there are probably close to 50 different coils to select.  Yes that's over kill and I don't know anyone who owns that many.  I did have about 10 different coils for my 4500 and each served a specific purpose.

Simon -  If you are trying to decide on the best GOLDHAWK coil for you., 10" Ellip vs the 9" round.  Here's what I have learned so far in testing them.

The 9" round has better depth on the small stuff, but the 10" Ellip can get into tighter areas.    Both coils are better than the stock 11" round, when it comes to signal cleanliness and strength on the smallest of gold.  I actually have customers needing both the 9" round and the 10" Ellip as they each have their place.  I expect the 10" Ellip will be the most popular for US sales, as it is like many of the 10" Ellip coils on the market (which that size if most popular on so many detectors).

An added bonus to the 10" Ellip is the ability to get the toe of the coil into the smallest or tight areas.  Also for optimal pinpointing.

Thanks Gerry, I ended up ordering the 14x9" Goldhawk as I've now also ordered the two smaller coils from the "other" Aussie brand and I'll get some of the X's too given time.  That should just about cover all bases.  I just preferred the other Aussie sizes in the end, I really wanted a 10x5" but then I decided I'd prefer smallest available coil for the most small gold sensitivity and then getting a 10x5" seemed too close in size so I went with the other brands slightly larger size instead of the 10x5" and their smallest size too ? It's really great having a good range of coil sizes to choose from right off the bat this time.  The other Aussie brands coils are more expensive though so the Coiltek's are certainly the better priced coils.  The 14x9" is costing me less than the smallest size in the other Aussie brand.

I always liked the 14x9" size on my 4500, good ground coverage and decent sensitivity on them but that was obviously spiral/flat wound coils, this time around with the 6000 it doesn't seem that is the case so I'm hoping the extra sensitivity the hardware of the 6000 provides makes up for the coils being bundle wound, it certainly will on the smallest sizes, not sure about the 14x9" though.

Because I prospect amongst tall grass, I often resort to following wild horse trails (brumbies) to virgin patch hunt, with very little side to side movement of the coil in the swing (linear detecting). In this application the ellipticals shine for obvious reasons but I`ve always found round coils, as Gerry has illustrated, give better depth for coil weight, thus if your not pushing your coil into tight spaces, between rocks or clumps of grass the rounds shine unless your chasing more coverage and not more depth.

谢谢 Gerry，我最终订购了 14x9" Goldhawk，因为我现在还从“其他”澳大利亚品牌订购了两个较小的线圈，并且给定时间我也会得到一些 X 的线圈。这应该几乎涵盖了所有底座。最后我只是更喜欢其他澳大利亚尺寸，我真的想要一个 10x5"，但后来我决定我更喜欢最小的可用线圈，以获得最小的金灵敏度，然后获得 10x5" 似乎尺寸太接近，所以我选择了其他品牌的尺寸稍大，而不是 10x5"，它们的尺寸也是最小的?这次有多种线圈尺寸可供选择，真是太棒了。其他澳大利亚品牌的线圈价格更高，因此 Coiltek 的线圈肯定是价格更优惠的。 14x9" 的价格比其他澳大利亚品牌中最小尺寸的要便宜。

我一直喜欢 4500 上的 14x9" 尺寸，良好的地面覆盖率和不错的灵敏度，但这显然是螺旋/平绕线圈，这次 6000 似乎并非如此，所以我希望6000 的硬件提供的额外灵敏度弥补了捆绑缠绕的线圈，它肯定会在最小尺寸上，但不确定 14x9"。

Hi how you feel about 14x9 coil now?

I haven't used it since, I've just got too many coils and detectors and not enough time in the gold fields to use them all ? I use the ones I think will find me the most gold on the given day and with small gold being the most common the 14x9" doesn't suit my area as well as the 10x5", although I may have the wrong mindset and be missing the deeper bits by doing so, but I just like going home with something in my gold bottle and the 10x5" is more likely to do that for me ?
