alaska detector Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I took the 10x5 out again and aside from finding more gold, I found a treasure I consider even better. I was detecting in the middle of nowhere up a hillside, and checked under a boulder that I wouldn’t have been able to reach with the stock coils, and pulled out this beauty. Given it’s age and where it’s at it certainly dates to the local gold rush. I have no intention in selling it so I cleaned it up, and I think it turned out great. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Nice, those tangential finds are sometimes the most rewarding. Another nugget is...just another nugget sometimes. Pretty cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAU? Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I’d think that that was a bit of money to lose back then, nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 1 day detecting in 90-100 degree heat in the full sun. No melting tape and still good. Thanks Ron! While it’s great protection, just realise it has a pressure relief valve as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phrunt Posted August 18, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2022 To follow on from the earlier part of this thread as to if my GPX 6000 11" coil was faulty, it was replaced by our Minelab service agent, they were able to fault it which I'm very happy about, it means I hadn't gone crazy. Now I will be able to compare it to the Coiltek coils properly, knowing it's a more fair comparison without the 11" being faulty. For those wondering where the Minelab coils are made, this is from it's packaging. I removed my serial number! ? 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
