Goldseeker5000 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I went up to my claim yesterday and hunted a sloping meadow with my Gpx5000 and the 25" NF DDX coil and dug a few iron trash targets and then I got a signal that was the best signal of the day. I scraped a layer back and it got a little better sounding. What popped out was a 1.06 gram nugget, to my surprise. This was the first nugget I have found with this coil since I bought it in 2021 from Rob. I got it on video so that will be coming in a few weeks. When I got to my claim I realized I had left my bungee cord on another shaft with my 15" Evo. I had to swing that 3 lb. Coil on a sloped terrain without it. Not fun. Wore me out quicker.

Lynk Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It's amazing how small that very nice gold looks on that massive coil. A lesson in perspective for sure. Congrats and well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 That's the bonus of small coils, my nuggets look bigger sitting on them, that one gram is a good size nugget for me but looks tiny on that coil 🙂 You'd have to have very specific needs to use a DD coil that big.

Goldseeker5000 Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 We have had lots of 1, 2 and 2 1/4 ounce nuggets come off one claim and the other claim has given up a 6 1/2 ounce solid gold nugget, so yes this coil has a purpose on my claims. It is also to seek out new deposits on our claims since it can punch so deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
