Steve Herschbach Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 https://www.whiteselectronics.com/product/6-concentric-gmt-coil-micro-tireur/ DETAILS Previously only available in Africa, this 6 inch “Micro Shooter” coil for White’s GMT has been made available for the general public as requested. It’s been called “The Patch-Killer,” “That French Coil,” or “I Can’t Pronounce the Name,” but tireur is French for shooter. If you are after every bit of gold in an area, this shooter coil belongs in your GMT’s arsenal. Specially-tuned for mineralized ground, this nugget-sniping loop is a beast on small gold. Coupled with the GMT’s high 48kHz frequency, it’s highly sensitive to the smallest flakes of gold your machine can detect. The small profile makes it ideal for detecting in brush or rocky hill-sides, and with the small detection window you can more easily pick through tailing piles and areas with bits of iron from past mining operations.

Hard Prospector Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I bought two yesterday and interestingly, coil covers for it were difficult to find at White's. Apparently this coil which has been around for a while for export to Africa, never saw a demand for a protective loop cover. Further investigation led me to believe that the African placer miners are very superstitious and believe coil covers to be "bad luck"......I'm not kidding! I can't wait to compare it (on my GMT) to my GB2 on bedrock. My hunch is that this coil will breath new life into the Goldmaster series and I'm glad.

whitebutler Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Steve, I have seen this set up in action and I heard a trick to these coils. They are super hot and will blow your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeOzDigger Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well i'v been keeping quiet on the subject but... it works quite well, I did compare it to the 4x6 shooter on a few targets but swapping coils each target started to pi$$ me off so I came to the conclusion pretty quick that the 6" stayed on. sorry for the audio as I was using headphones "oh" and the naughty word too' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeOzDigger Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Here's a photo' all the smaller nuggets were found with the new 6" the rest came from the same area or close by' hoping to get back there end of the week. a few of the tiny flakes only gave the weakest signal when tested against the 4x6 DD but the 6" was a Better responce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rileyrace Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi Steve New to this forum I have a whites Gold Master 2 and am wondering if this new coil will work, And if there would be an advantage over the stock coil. I plan on using it at Happy camp next year because I cannot dredge. Thanks in advance for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
