No, I was a young kid back in the late 60's and early 70's so trash dumps in the desert were very common.  One of the best places to go target practicing back then.  As we get older and more wise, we become educated and some of us change our ways.  

Today, so many folks dig up a piece of trash and toss it back on the ground.  Whereas those of us who've learned over time, we tend to dig up a piece of trash and pack it out, so we don't find it again.

Yes in some areas and laws (which I don't agree with) if you do dig up a nail or rusty tobacco tin, you are supposed to leave it there and not remove it?  Why is that.

Because Jerry we need to leave those Historically significant items for the up and coming stuffy and overly zealous pompous Richards that they are Archeologist of the future. As well as for others to enjoy of course.

So I'm now...I'm either labeled as a thief who stole history from the future or....I'm label a lazy a$$ liter bug.   One thing is for certain, as I'm becoming of age, I realize trying to please everyone is just as crazy as trying to educate everyone.

It's unfortunate that (some) metal detectorists and (some) archaelogists despise each other, since working together would benefit both.

And I'll go one step farther -- it's not the childish "they started it!", either.  There's an old saying credited to Abe Lincoln but which had its origin prior to him.  Paraphrased: "the best way to get rid of your enemy is to make him your friend."

I think that falls under the category of "privileged".  Some people are so privileged that they don't have to show respect for the property they detect.  Put the trash back, or worse leave it laying on the ground, and worst of all, don't fill the holes back in.  Some people are their own worst enemy, and unfortunately also the worst enemy of those who exercise the proper respect.

Nice job! That's a lot of trash for the San Domingo placers. It's always fun to hang out with Bill. I did the audio fix and have the Coiltek 9 round mounted on the 6k as my default coil. It is a great coil for tight areas and fairly stable.

Gold Catcher - Any thoughts on the Coiltek 9 round vs the stock coil?  Others have been very positive on lack of y-axis noise with the other two Coilteks, but I don't think I have seen commentary on the 9.

Hi Lynk, the 9 inch coiltek runs smoother than the 11 stock, at least that has been my experience thus far. I also just got the NF 12x7, will make a comparison soon.

Thank you and and I am looking forward to your thoughts.  The majority posts have been about the Coiltek ellipticals, so looking forward to hearing more about the 9 relative to other coils.

Is Chris AZO selling them and are NF’s available in the US now?
