George, that detector looks show room.  Where & how did you find it?  And more importantly, how are you going to use it?

Looks like it's never been used!  That stock mono coil (called Oz mono and/or Aussie mono) is a good match for the detector, IMO, at least when you're going after the deeper stuff.  The dual-field mono (which looks the same and was stock on the /SL) might be more useful if you also want to find small stuff closer to the surface.  For me, I've got other detectors for that and I bet you do, too 😏 unless possibly in extremely mineralized ground.  I also have the NuggetFinder Sadie (6"x8") for hunting the small gold nuggets, plus several other coils.  But those two (12" stock mono and NF Sadie) are all I really need.

Did yours come with working rechargeable batteries?  Those small box TDI's eat disposable batteries for lunch -- maybe 4 hours and they're done.  Rechargeables don't necessarily run longer (depends upon the type and configuration) but at least you don't have to throw them out when discharged.

I found this on YouTube. 

Cool detector, George.

Yes it has rechargeables and I have several other coils to Include the Sadie and it's two other Nugget Finders and several different monos and DD. I can ony hunt about less then four hours.

Now George, your going to have a whole house of detectors mad at you for bringing another home.

Good luck with it and hope it brings many new finds for you.
