Nugget Shooter 4,474 Posted July 14, 2017 The small coil for working areas with allot of obstructions and tight areas, bedrock, etc. for small stuff and the 10 inch for all around hunting.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
North Pines Gold 22 Posted July 14, 2017 Bill's right on. I was out today working some eroded hillsides with brush. Had the big coil to start but switched to the smaller one and it was a huge difference. A lot easier to poke around with. Didn't find anything but it was much easier to use. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azdigger 1,439 Posted July 14, 2017 Tried the small coil but it does not seem as sensitive as the big coil...........we will see tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mn90403 878 Posted July 15, 2017 Rick, Go to an area where you KNOW someone has found a nugget and grid, grid, grid that area because now you truly have a machine that will find any nuggets that have been missed. Don't get too hot in the process. BELIEVE! Mitchel 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azdigger 1,439 Posted July 15, 2017 Well , I did not make it out this morning . I had to replace a hydraulic hose on the tractor today instead. Going to look for a cool morning and head for GB . try over a patch that was pointed out to me by a "well known" pointy finger. See if it does any good. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mn90403 878 Posted July 16, 2017 Rick, It is still there waiting on you and your Monster. Get out there early, early on the GPAA claim. Mark out a 10x10 square near where they have been dry washing. You don't have to limit yourself to a pile but don't skip them either. Get every target in that 10x10 under your coil. By the time you get to your 3rd 10x10 you'll have a couple of nuggets. If you don't go a few hundred yards away and try it there. When I get one that is what I'm going to do. My wife Lu did this with the 2300 last year and she found a meteorite and a couple of nuggets that people had missed. Mitchel 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
