Craig Peri Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 COILS: Small v's BIG Coils. This was the day I was using a BIG COIL. My friend was behind me with an 11" DD He asked if I checked the tree that I just passed by. I stated my COIL was TOO BIG to fit inside the HOLLOW of the tree so my mate detected it. This 12 oz nugget was hidden inside the STUMP of the TREE. The Moral of the story is BIG isn't always better especially when you miss nuggets like these. 7 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28339-coil-size/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 In Nevada, we call that a “Woody” and it’s very rare. Usually forms deep inside the trunk of the Golden Cypress as the inner trunk is rich in carbon that precipitates the microscopic gold into a large nugget. Often surrounded by Trumpet plants that announce the nugget. If you listen carefully you can hear the announcement by the Trumpet plants and follow directly to the mineralized Golden Cypress. That’s why I carry a chainsaw. 🤥 2 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28339-coil-size/#findComment-296487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
