schiara Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I vote 8" x 11" coil water proof for creek detecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm finding some ridiculously silly tiny itsy bitsy nuggets with the stock coil but smaller would be my second choice mainly for poking into snake holes and thorn bushes. I realize that most of the forum members her have Super Man strength but I only have his good looks so a stock size coil that weighed half as much would be perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.B. Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 20 inch for deeper ground and probably 11 inch for around scrub any smaller and you'll need a microscope to see the nugget you just dug a deep hole for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Hound Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I hope minelab are listening! If they don't bring out a big coil like a 20in round or even better if its bigger there will be a lot of dissaponted pro's out there. And its us that find the bulk of the gold that make them look good and if we are out there pulling out lumps its free advertising for them. Give us a 20in or bigger coil! Any smaller will just not do for us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sourdough Scott Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The only positive I see for having only one coil. Is not worrying about someone breaking in your truck and stealing the thousands of dollars of GPX coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 I thought it would be interesting to revive this thread in light of the release of the GPZ19 coil to see how close Minelab came to the suggestions. I tallied up the numbers and averaged the large dimension for both small and large suggested sizes but all the info is there to draw your own conclusions. Next up - I want that small coil. I do think larger first was best for most people but sooner or later a small coil for the rest of us would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
