LuckyLundy Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Rudy, now don't be giving away all our secrets! I know there is less gold in Rye Patch after each trip we make there...lol. That coil in the hole doesn't do that dig much justice. The hole goes deeper behind the coils nose into the bedrock. Once we zeroed in, we didn't want to waste time busting out all the bedrock, just where it counted. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzyoc Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm gonna give away the best secret. If it beeps dig it! Also no threshold and a very high sensitivity helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I dread to think of the work in digging that hole...at least the target was gold not junk... Lucky, what is that white collar on your detector rod? fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLundy Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Fred, Thats Rudy's GPZ. He added and extension to the lower shaft to swing the 19" coil. We have 4 of the 19" coils in our group and no one uses them...well except for serving pizzas ?. The extension works great if anybody does swing the 19". Rudy's size 14 feet and that coil wasn't working out for him. There is flex in the lower shaft with the added length. To me it seems like it would break. But, Rudy made it Rudy tough!

benzyoc Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 There's hardly any flex. I get a extra 6 inches. Gives me a nice wide swing and it keeps that coil away from all the metal on me. I never understood why minelab made the length so short. But I used the extra long lower shaft from doc on all my gpxs so maybe I'm just use to it.

fredmason Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 oh the temptation is hard to resist...but, I will. Modifying equipment to suit the user and the need is always good. fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzyoc Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's just a 1 inch adapter with schedule 20 pvc. Any longer the cord would be too tight. It's a little tricky fishing the cord through but it's not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
