srferjo714 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Will it started great temp about 68 with the Santa Ana winds ( it's a so calif thing ). And then it started, walked about 1/4 mile and forgot the pick. Back to the truck. The rest of the 6 hours was spent digging lead and brass. For you guys thinking about the sd2200v2 buy one. Had a faint tone started digging the more i dug the louder the tone. Then at 2 1/2' feet (no joke about the depth) and 80 deg thinking it was going to be a nice nugget it turned out to be a 22 cal bullet. Last time I go to Auza caynon. Next week will be Ord mountain. Well back to repairing rides at Disneyland for another 40 hr And running my company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apw5746 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Glad you liked it. I just ordered one yesterday to compliment my Gold Bug 2. Should have the best of both worlds.

Bob777 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hello Prospectors,,,I have been running a SD2200v2 for a few years now. I agree finding targets 2-3 feet deep. I think this is a great machine. I find targets in this range easily. But I also been using that 14" elli. mono Goldstalker coil too... Nice combination. Pocket Rocket, Black Widow phones. Hey Rob looking to buy that 6" Goldstalker mono coil soon, don't run out of them. And send me a few Coiltek decals too...Hope Coiltek has a new decal...(Logo) Oh, I know those 4000, & 4500 are quieter but I am happy with the SD22002v...Does what I want...Bob777...

srferjo714 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I call it a 20min hole. also the sand was still wet it might be why I was able to pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 31, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hey Sfrerjo, Good to hear you're finding some deep targets. I received your phone message about the machine being more stable in the field vs. at home. Like I stated, it was proably just EMI Interference from Powerlines, which you stated were in the nearby area. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call or email. Thanks once again for your business.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
