Was expecting to see an ice block!

They are great coil;s Brian. I got a 15" recently and have been stoked about the depth and finds on old ground with it. These flat winds, whether NF or CTK, take GP,s to another level. Love em!

All good oldies. Nothing wrong with a 4g bit.

You guys find gold in places that look as picturesque as that?????? Seriously?????? Where I go it has a picture in our AUS dictionary as an example of UGLY! Lucky rats.

Great stuff Ray and great pics too. Glad to be back here and see after my it,net got smashed.........again. Nice finds Ray.

Happy birthday mate. Good to get a bit the happy day!

Sheesh, can't go wrong with those prices, that's a 2 thumbs up deal for sure. If only our Oz dealers were that good, alas not so.

Hi Rob, no its just stuff I learnt knowing people in the game. Iv swung a couple of the prototypes.

That's true, the 7000 does have gold types and ground types where it does have the advantage. With the flat winds the greater performance increase is seen in the smaller coils, 11 E & 12 NF. Reason being as all coils have the same length of windings in them, an 18 inch has the same length as an 8 for example. Meaning as a coil gets bigger the windings get narrower, less surface area in width. This means that the percentage of performance advantage of say a flat wound 12 vs a standard 12 will be greater than that of a flat 18 vs standard 18. The performance increases therefore vary depending upon the coil size. Big increase with the 12, let's say 20% for example, but less on an 18 say 8%.

You have a good one too mate and stay well.

Thanks guys but I'm only doing as good as others that are swinging these down here. Had it since the release and am still amazed each time I use it. The other day I got a signal in really ironstone infested ground and thought it was gonna be a bb size shotty pellet just under the topsoil or on the surface, really sharp good signal, but after scraping it was still there and ended up being a .8 seven inches down! Another bit that day was a good dipping signal that had me thinking it was a multi grammer, nine or so inches deep and it turned out to be 1.2g. The 5 screamed when the coil was dipped into, he hole. Ended up that day with another bit which weighed 2.4g at 10 inches and a tiny .05 that was just under the surface. All right next to some recent raking. A few blokes I know have said these flat winds are noisy but I suspect they may be trying to run them in Deep audio. They will sound off in bad ground in deep which on this coil I don't use because of that. Cruises in normal and really does its stuff. Game changing coil on a GPX.

Ps. Let me know if the picture came out ok as this is from my phone, I was off air for months as my PC got smashed by a virus and I am not going to use one again. Cheaper to replace a phone than get a PC fixed.

Detecting in those conditions is what Robson Green would call "Extreme Detecting". Awesome!

Awesome little coil Rob. Here,s some of what it shines star bright at finding. All from flogged ground and from unheard of depths for a GPX in bad ground. This coil stays on my 5000.

You could put it in your fish tank. Knew a guy once who kept a 20 oz nugget in his.
