Bearkat Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Whats the smallest nugget I could hit with the big coil? You might be surprised...check it out: Part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It is always surprising how small a nugget a large PI coil will detect on edge. The problem is the field is more like a hula hoop with a big dead area in the middle. This can really mess a person up digging for the target dead center when the target is on edge. That has caught me a few times. Excellent video Alan, thanks for posting. I have not been able to talk myself into the big ATX coil. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Bearkat Thanks for your trouble on making the video. You done a great job and should help anyone on what that loop can do. I was just wondering if you ever been out nugget hunting with it on extended time? I can see you can cover lots of ground if it's open and flat country.

Bearkat Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hey Chuck... Yes; I went out nugget hunting with it a bit the other day. It was surprisingly easy to swing per its size. Seemed even better balanced than the stock coil. It did punch deep...but alas no nuggies. I could definatlely swing it all day if needed. You will most likely get most targets at 1 gram and up with decent depth. Bearkat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
