adam Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) 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?

Steve Herschbach Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) 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.

Steve Herschbach Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 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!
