[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 159255, member: 1582"] I purchased the 6inch DD, waterproof and 18khz for my 70. At the end of the day, apart from great iron discrimination and ...yes it will ping on gold..... I would not be recommending the Xterra for Gold no matter what people say. It will ping on everything else too and unfortunately in hot ground, that's not a good thing. If you were to find a reef...different story! So as much as its a great Coin/Relic, id keep it at that. If you are prospecting as a pair...perfect. Having a PI and a VLF combines both strengths. So my opinion, don't waste time on new coils for the VLF, look for a second hand Minelab PI or comparable Whites etc. You will not look back. On a footnote, my F1A4 (PI) was having issues pinging on ironstone similar to the VLF....was almost too sensitive. Switched to a larger coil and it now runs very sweet in hot ground. Hope that helps.
