SoCalJohn Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi all, I usually hunt for gold nuggets and meteorites, but with the hot weather we've had lately, the beach seems to be the place to be. I purchased an Explorer II recently and just added a Coiltek 15" WOT coil that I bought from Rob. Rob wanted me to post what I found first off with it and give my opinion as to the performance of the coil. Well I must say that the depth is superb and target seperation is fantastic as well. Took it out this morning for a test and this is what I found in 2 hours. Thanks Rob for having what I wanted in stock and the super fast service. Till next time, happy hunting, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 SoCalJohn... You are right on target... The beaches seem to be a good choice. I was at the pier (San Clemente) Sunday. 1:17 PM was low tide; but as the tide came back in, the waves were "angry." By about 3:30 rogue waves were churning up pebbles and other stuff. But, I could not take advantage... I tried by digging a low conductive signal originally in the surf/wet sand zone; but suddenly was up to my waist in a rush of surf. I use a PI-type diving machine, but stick to thewet sand as close to the surf as I can be. I have a balance problem... bad left knee.I only use a short handled scoop. with the handle pointing in the opposite direction... so I chop down. There has been a lot of visitors at the beaches the past month... Detecting at Huntington was/is good... fresh drops. Small world, I'm also into meteorites... By any chance do you know "Mas K." ?To cut to the "quick" I will be in the AMDA hunt on Sunday at Laughlin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalJohn Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi dutch john, sorry, but I do not know about Mas K. Even though there has been a lot of fresh drops, this coil was punching down deep along the towel line and picking up stuff that the others can't reach. Good luck in Laughlin.

Big Ed Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi socaljohn,Abit off subject, no - the Coiltec WOT coil, on the Eureka Gold is also great for nugget hunting I would like to see more allterrain coils...Coin, relic, or nugget hunting these coils give you more search area, land & wet I was talking to Rob, and he wished they had a WOT coil for SD/GP detectors, that would be great, even better in DD PRO P.S. COILTEC? ALLterrain coils Take care,Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted August 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hello John, Thanks for posting the reports of your new Coiltek 15-WOT for the Explorer. This coil is a sleeper in my opinion and due to the amount sold. Coiltek really need to think about designing this coil for other detectors like the new X-Terra series. Right now the Completely Waterproof Coiltek 15-inch Round WOT Searchcoil can be used on the following detectors -American Gold Striker XT 17000XT18000Eureka GoldAll Minelab Musteteers ModelsAll Minelab Sovereign ModelsMinelab Excalibur All Minelab Explorer & Explorer II ModelsNormally I have at least (2) for the Explorer Series in stock. I'm averaging one sale per week on them. I think this would be hot selling Mono coil for the Minelab SD/GP's, but what the heck do I know ... John, thanks for the recent business and hope you success continues. Best regards,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downntheholler Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Wow American Gold Striker is what I bought back in 1999 did not know they were still around...am needing a battery pack for it. maybe even that coiltec you speak of.

Admin nuggethunting Posted August 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hello downntheholler, I don't believe I have any of the batteries left for the American Gold Striker, but would have to look. I can get any parts for a Minelab within a few days if I don't have them in stock. I do have the Coiltek WOT coil for the American Gold Striker in stock though. P.S. The American Gold Striker is an old detector, but I found a lot of gold with it back then. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirechief Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Wow John that is a nice chunk of change you found there ! I really like the Coiltek stuff and also have used the WOT 15 " on the Sovereign GT. I try to keep a couple of Coilteks around too. Ok John thanks for the quick chat and I hope you keep hauling it in. God Bless.John Tomlinson, CET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
