The 11 commander coil will sniff out small gold, only reason to consider a Sadie coil is if their is a lot of tight spots amongst the rock clustered together . Save the coin for fuel to scout out other locations. No matter what coil you have on if their is no gold their their is no gold. Try...

Have faith with minelab 11" and 15"x12" commander coils, very stable and sensitive, this two coils account for the majority of my gold finds.

G'day Dig'n-it don't be afraid to use the 15x12 mono that came with it, it will find 0.1g and up no worries, just go low and slow and don't be afraid to experiment with the gain and stabiliser, a bit more gain might just perk up those faint targets.

Your welcome washgravel.

For me it's the techni ice 60l fridge freezer. It's been good for me up here in the N.Q. And draws little power as well. Plug it in the night before heading out bush on the 240v throw a couple of cold tinnies in to help cool it down quickly, and then run it on the 12v system

What I use on the GPX 5000 is the minelab commander 11" round mono and 15x12 mono, nuggetfinder 14" round and 18" round mono. My favorite coil out of this lot is the minelab commander 11" round mono.

Good video, thanks for that Lee, good to see gold coming out of the ground from up here in N.Q. It's giving me the motivation to head out detecting again for some gold up here in N.Q.

G'day Goldfield Joe, I've found sennhieser HD558 to be good for detecting, much better then the minelab ones which are supplied with GPX5000. The one thing with them though you can hear outside noise like when you are scrubbing your coil on the ground and the wind and you can hear also if...

:) :) G'day Lisa and welcome to the forum, hope you have success on your adventures, the only advice I can give you right now is research your area that you are interested in with the type of minerals and associated rock that is associated with the gold from the area which you might be able to...

Well no I wouldn't buy a SDC, I don't why people are giving up on the GPX5000, with this machine with the right settings and coil selection you can pick up tiny bits of gold as well. Oh well each to their own, well what ever detector one chooses so long as they are having fun in this great...

Nice vid WalnLiz keep them coming they are quite good. Just what I needed to inspire me before heading out detecting tomorrow

Hello and thank you for your replys. I ended up asking somebody About this situation and at the moment I'm using pool acid which seems to be doing the trick at cleaning them. But one should take care when handling any form of chemicals and adhere to all the warning labels on the products.

Hello Kim-Margret maybe you could try inland from were you are situated at Clermont if you want to give your 4800 a run

Hello just wondering if anyone knows a safe way to clean specimens which have quartz and ironstone infusd with the gold without having to dolly it up to remove the quartz and ironstone.

Hi all just my 2 cents thoughts on this topic, I personally use the GPX5000 and have found it to be a good detector in fine gold up here in N.Q. I've managed to ping small gold with it in the .1 , .2 , .3g and up the biggest piece so far for me personally is a 3g piece Im only new to detecting...
