Admin nuggethunting Posted November 27, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hello Allen, I've personally never used a Coiltek Platypus on the GP3000 since the coil wasn't available when I owned the GP3000. However, I would recommend "Fixed, DD Mode, Sensitive/Normal" for smaller nuggets and smaller nuggets at depth. I would also suggest this mode for meteorite hunting to increase sensitivity a bit. For larger stuff, I would recommend this setting "Fixed, DD Mode, Normal/Deep." The ground at Gold Basin from what I remember is low to moderate unless you're right down in the bottoms of the washes. Some of the washes have a high content of black sands, but shouldn't effect the DD much. I would recommend running "All Metal" mode and just turn the discriminator ON/OFF when needed. I wouldn't recommend running "Disc" the entire time, but some prefer this. The Platypus is a great, lightweight, waterproof searchcoil. Hope you find some Space Rocks and Gold Nuggets! Good luck out there,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
