What 11” Ron or Simon? The stock coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Yep, 11" stock, great coil except a bit noisy and reliability issues which seem resolved. Not often I'd recommend a Minelab GPX stock coil 🙂 but the 6000 one is really good when you have a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Thanks for sharing the hunt with us as I liked the videos very much. Great pieces of gold that you have found and I just wish you could find something much bigger. I know that NZ is not known for real gold nuggets (ounce or bigger) and can fully understand what your up against. Good luck on your next outing and I wish you luck.

phrunt Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 JW kindly passed on a few photos, his total gold from the day plus a photo of me detecting a slope, no gold on this one though 🙂 I circled me in the photo. He found the smaller bits, that little 10x5" coil is a powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon shared a video of one found in a stream bed a while back. It was palm-sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Nice lookin' spot . If I could drive my rig there I'd probably just park it for good ! 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
