[QUOTE="loamer, post: 65963, member: 981"] The Minelab coils are fine Stevo, you should do OK. Some people have personal preferences - I have changed over the Nugget Finders (you will see them called NF on the forum). I would have a play with the Minelab 11" mono you should get for a while just to get the feel for the detector. The 11" is a good starting coil and a for a lot of people, its their coil size of choice. Its good on small stuff and has a pretty good coverage and will find bigger gold as well. When you get used to it, you may find you want a bigger coil - 14" + etc, to chase bigger deeper gold. I know you will be asking 'how deep will they go?". If you are concentrating around shallow ground, mullock heaps, quartz dumps and the like, the 11" is fine. A smaller coil may also be a handy addition if you want to chase small gold on mullock heaps. In summary - Minelab coils are a good coil that should do you OK. As you progress, then I would contemplate progressing to a more wider range to suit your hunting as the costs do add up. [/QUOTE]
