phoenix Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Probably my favourite coil was my 24x12 Coiltek UFO, but there was 2 things I didn`t like about it. It only had a shaft mount on one side and the mount wasn`t in the centre of the coil so it was always toe heavy. So I modified it. Made it heaps better to use 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just to be different I will say 6" coil on a Gold Bug 2. That combination amazed me many times. It is the only coil I have owned and used for over 20 years. All the others have come and gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Why DD. A very brief synopsis. 1. Gold miners came to this area in 1850. By 1852 they numbered in the thousands. 2. Waste Management didn't have door to door trash pick up until somewhat later. 3. I am exceptionally lazy and I like exceptional quiet. 4. discrimination with a DD on a P.I. is not always accurate. Discrimination with a mono coil is never accurate. 5. If I were to detect in a wide open place with consistent mineralization, low EMI, little or no trash and big deep nuggets I would use a mono coil. I am not a good enough person to go there when I die. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au4Gold2 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 With all do respect to all the " I don't use DD Coils Ever," you have never taken up the challenge of detecting California's vast tailing piles......full of iron bits of trash. After a while you just get burned out on them, that's when you put on a small dd coil and go at it. After a nugget is found, than you clean it up with a mono. So for me, I would say I prefer, a mid size Mono, and a small dd such as a Detech 8" round or the Commander 10x5 DD. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
