Admin nuggethunting Posted March 16, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hey GS, That searchcoil you purchased is a sleeper for DD's. The problem anymore is many electronic prospectors experience areas where the mineralization is still severe (bedrock, soils, hotrocks). I know for example, some bedrock areas here in Arizona is almost unhuntable unless you either lower your settings so low that you loose more of your sensitivity or raise the coil several inches at a minimum above the bedrock. Some of the Graphite and Serpentine bedrock areas in Alaska and California are also just as bad. The Detech coil we sell, along with many others really opens up some areas that are very mineralized. I have even found areas that my GPZ 7000 don't like even in "Difficult" ground type. Congrats on your recent finds, some real beauties.

G S Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 so much of ground i hunt is very hot. also the high voltage lines run through much of the gold fields here. the emi can be unbearable. this coil performed very well, even with the charcoal everywhere from the fire. i havnt found a place i can run the 14" mono elite in anything other than enhance. took the stock mono out today and it performed great also. it found a small one the detech missed. i was able to run in normal but it was more sensitive to the charcoal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing8046 Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 G S Looks like you are in the burned areas that mess with your detector falsing on every piece of charcoal even when you tune them out. The bad thing is as fast as that fire cleared that ground the plant growth will retake it in a matter of a few months. Enjoy hunting ground that a detector has never touched for the next few months. Thanks for sharing can't wait to see what's next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G S Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 before the first rains the falsing wasnt that bad. it still isnt enough to drive me crazy. you can clearly see the outline the machine will hit on. i detected a burn thats about 3-5 years old around weaverville and the charcoal was much more of a problem. i still inspect the really loud ones, and got a 1.5 gram out of a charcoal manzanita outline. youre right, a lot of the roots are still alive, so those will grow back fast.

WHawkins Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I purchased a 15 inch spiral DD Detech coil a while back and first day out in very soggy ground picked up 6 nuggets for almost 15dwt. It’s a little heavy but not as bad as the 7000 coils and a bungee works just fine. Great coil. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted April 13, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hey WHawkins, The new Detech 15" is getting great results like you mentioned on the GPX series for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
