I purchased a 6" Coiltek from Rob for my Eureka, it works great! I also have a minelab 8" round coil and a 15" WOT. One for each frequency :-) .......the original elliptical that came with the machine was not impressive, if I would not have tried other coils I would have sold the Eureka by now. It's a very versatile machine with all three coils,

Thanks Chris

What detector did you use? Just curious.

Found the item on your site Thanks

Here's the new bochure for the CTX3030! 4907-0509-1 CTX 3030 brochure USA English (4P)_web.pdf

I will as well, if the CTX3030 turns out to work as well as it should, I think I'm going to end up with my GPX4500 and the CTX3030. It should cover everything I need. Charlie

Update to next machine........I think there's a CTX3030 in my future!!

Hi Bill, Sorry I didn't catch this posting earlier.....it's the Minelab Goldsearch 800.....with the Eureka I can discriminate for ferrous iron but dig most other targets....sometimes I can tell it's aluminum. I also take my gold bug pro and use it for the mineral ID.....I use them because it's what I have....I think there might be an E-track in my future... Charlie

Try the 8" round Minelab coil on the Eureka, I have the WOT as well but in parks the 8" is killer. Coins 6-7" all day.

Ron, what is the real difference between the GB2 and the GBpro? Which do you recommend for sniping gold nuggets?

Rob, I have found several pieces that look just like your pictures,,,,extremely heavy for their size. Here's a recommended test off the internet that might be of some help. STREAK TEST Iron ore is the most common meteor-wrong. Magnetite especially is very magnetic (hence its name) and hematite may or may not be mildly magnetic. Both these minerals may possibly be distinguished from meteoritic material by a characteristic known as 'streak'. You can test the streak very simply. If you take a common ceramic tile, such as a bathroom or kitchen tile, it has a smooth glazed slide and an unfinished dull side which is stuck to the floor/wall when installed. Take the sample which you think is a meteorite and scratch it quite vigorously on the unglazed side of the tile. If it leaves a black/gray streak (like a soft leaded pencil) the sample is likely magnetite, and if it leaves a vivid red to brown streak it is likely hematite. A stone meteorite, unless it is very heavily weathered will not normally leave a streak on the tile. You say that you don't have a ceramic tile? You can use the bottom of an ceramic coffee cup or you can also use the inside of your toilet tank cover. (the heavy rectangular lid on top of the tank)
