Just wondering how well the iron check works? Where I detect there are virtual oceans of old tins, rust etc

I have tried both Minelab and Garrett pinpointers in the holes with big nuggets and they have not helped, relics I cannot comment on. It is very frustrating to spend an hour on the demolition hammer and the nugget is in the side of the hole I suppose if I had a small coiltek coil to put on it...

Interesting, I love my Bloody Marys!

Legend! Is clamato a typo? Oh BTW I use a 6k with a 17" exclusively (i also scrape with a mini digger) Got a 27.5 today and a .1 next to it with the 17" so it works well and yes deep also, up to 400mm in cemented caprock for 1 - 40 grammers, noisy? depends on the ground, but when you learn what...

Do aftermarket coils really make a difference to the standard coils? Why if so?

Learn to listen to the 6000 it tells you all! I only use the 17" coil and scrape with a mini digger generally 3-4" depending on conditions. I work an area which is a virtual ocean of metal scraps from the old boys (thanks a lot guys!) the depth of topsoil cover in these areas goes from surfacing...

Goldchaser, you aint pushing your quad hard enough Critter!:rolleyes:

Mate hands down do not go past SunF Scorpions (Bike tyre city Perth) I have had these for years on my Canam a bit lower profile than the original tyres but when I first fitted them. I would repair them for no gain, somtimes I have done 12-15 patches as I use it like a bulldozer, just live with...

Make sure you work the area you want to peg an SPL intenslely, as soon as an SPL is applied for you get every muppet get a 40E and hit it, think what could be down more than 500mm and is it worth pursuing? If its deep ground maybe, but when I scrape its rare to get past even 200mm at times to...

Never discount bucky quartz, pry more! I used too, not anymore.

15" Evo is my goto followed by the 12x8

We are about 100 kms to the east. Im using a 4500

I am east of Menzies and the ground is noisy all year

Has anyone used one of the Nuggetfinder 25" DD X coils in our WA noisy grounds?

Thanks Grubstake, answers my question. I have a quartz reef assayed at 15gpt so i might be able to handpick some specimens.
