^{Great article Steve. Can you talk about the test nugget a little bit....You said it was a grain I think, and you has excellent signal response from it?}

The SDC gets a nice sharp response in an air test on a 1 grain nugget at about an inch and what was interesting to me is it was in the middle of the coil, not on the edge as I normally see with mono coils and small gold. But I will be frank and tell you that in my opinion it is all about found gold not air tests. PI detectors generally suck in air tests. I plan to be pounding some small gold areas starting June 16 or so with the SDC and I am far more interested in seeing what it does in the field. If people want to put money down on one fine but they can also hold off a few days and see if a couple pounded locations I know of give up any gold in the near future and just how small it is. Though I do have to tell you that despite all the small gold talk I intend on finding chunkier stuff with the SDC. I just think some pretty small stuff will happen along the way.

There is a sort of hot spot in the coil to the inner right hand side but I simply have tool little time on the unit to have figured out all the little tricks.

Thanks Bill. Great unit, should sell well.

Off to Alaska in the morning - long drive and a couple stops along the way so I will be a bit scarce for awhile. Best of luck to everyone!

Have a great trip to AK Steve and wish I was going with you, getting hot here in the desert now
