Admin nuggethunting Posted July 19, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hey Mono Man, You really can't go wrong with either. I've found many ... many pounds of gold with the Coiltek 14-inch Mono Round on all the Minelab PI's. However, it's a solid design so it will be a bit heavier than the new Coiltek 14-inch Elliptical Mono Lightweight Searchcoil. The round 14-inch will get a bit more depth if you're paying close attention. The 14-inch elliptical will be a bit more sensitive and can get into tighter spots easier due to the elliptical design. It's really a matter of preference. My coil arsenal selection for my GPX-4500 are: (1) Coiltek 10x5 Joey Mono (for small gold nuggets near surface)(2) Coiltek 14-inch Mono Round (for prospecting patches)(3) Coiltek 14-inch Elliptical Mono Goldstalker (for small to mid-sized wash hunting)(4) Coiltek 18.5-inch Elliptical Mono Goldstalker (for covering a lot of ground, more depth, coil is super lightweight!)(5) Nuggetfinder 20-inch Round Mono (speciality coil for only certain areas that might have large nuggets at depth)(6) Coiltek Wallaby DD Pro 17-inch Elliptical (just in case I need a DD, hope I never do!) Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLORADO BOB Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Mono Man,I run the 14" Coiltek round mono, that I got from Rob a long time ago. I have many many hours on it, as its my main coil of choice.Its served me very well and has found a me a lot of gold and I have never had a problem of any kind with it and I do beat them around from time to time. If you take your time and listen to the machine and coil, I have not found to many places that I could not use it.Bob T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
