Thanks for all the great feedback I have given them all a run to see what feels better and as you say they all have advantages and the country around here there is opportunities to use them all so I think my go to so far is the 17x11 and use the others where appropriate. Cheers Rod

The 1711 is spoked unfortunately. I have been using an equinox 800 coin/relic hunting for a while now so use to the coil style getting caught up regularly. Are there any advantages in running a smaller coil like the 128 or is it more a dis advantage re covering less ground.

Hi all I recently purchased a 2nd hand gpx5000 and it came with a few coils I am very new to gold detecting I am interested in what coil out of the below you would use. I am located in the pilbara WA (paraburdoo) I'm not sure what the ground is like around this area but there are iron ore mines...

I'm thinking of getting a gpx5000 or maybe an sdc2300 what's your thoughts? And...

Thanks for the link I have sent him a few pics.

These are the coins I found no cleaning or wiping of any coins so not a great pic.

I think your right about the lead bag seal I did some research and it defenatly looks like one I had not heard of them before. Is there a way to find out what it may of belonged to or were there thousands of these things back in the day. Cheers Rod
