I must have been asleep when I was getting 10". When the air test was redone I am getting about 4" on the ring, about 8" on Australian coins with the exception of 5 cent coin, it is about 5". took the detector out for the 1st time in the field and found part of a car and 2 pieces of fencing wire.

Kit arrived 2 days ago, very simple to put together. Hooked up to the coil and it lives. With the 8" coil I m getting about 10" on a gold wedding band. I was hoping for better but that could and from what I have read more likely the coil than the circuit that needs improving.

8" Coil finished and mounted. Question about weight of water proof coils, How does yours way in? This one is 369 grams Heavier than expected but it will be used in streams and creeks a lot of the time so the water will help support it.

How long do you get out of a charge? This is a photo of attempt 4, much happier with the outcome than the previous attempts. I think I will stop building coils until after I have given this one a good run. I have now filled with epoxy to water proof. Next stage is the circuit board, should be...

I like the idea of a 12v drill as a power source. Thanks gcause

Thanks for that OZDigger I will have a look tomorrow

As it turns out attempt 3 was not as bad as I thought. Not sure if shielding held. I guess I will find out when I hook it up. attempt 4 I used a much smaller wire only .25 ( this should make for a quicker coil), followed the same possess as attempt 2 with the exception of putting double sided...

Still waiting on kit but I would be surprised if I saw it this side of Easter. I have started to build a coil, well 3 attempts is more accurate. Attempt 1 This is some speaker wire wrapped in a flat spiral then put in a plant pot base. Still may work. Second plant pot base for the top...

I found this on http://forum.kimbucktwo.com/index.php?topic=5020.50 enamel wire, tight wound coil , 23cm dia, 20turns, .5mm swg How hard can it be???????????? Others have documented the process and that will make it easier, I will try to do the same. I also found this to be very helpful to...

Thanks Dave.m, I have had a look and that is where I have found most of my information. When the kit arrives does it have any paper work with it as in instruction or coil requirements?

I have just ordered a Surf PI kit from the UK http://www.silverdog.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=76 They are a simple but from what I have read affective PI detector. The unit seems to be simple enough to make but the coil will give me some curry, I have done hours of...

Hi Redfin, have you sold these?

Biggest hall to date, that is easy would have to be the 5 specs last week, tryed to weigh all the gold I have found to date. Put on electric kitchen scales that can weigh .1 of a gram. The scales read 0.0. Sad times 8.( , best go and get some more. :)

All the photos just make you want to do something. Here are some more that hopefully will have the same affect.

Makes my couple of specs look sad, great spot ;)

Thanks for the info, the more I learn the less I know. Thanks again :8

This maybe a silly question. I have found most of my gold behind rocks and I am not talking about large quantities. I know a good place to look is gravel bars and inside bends but does gold as a general rule simply stop in the deep water of a outside bend or does it always make its way onto the...

A couple of photos from my other hobby. I will have to take a pan next time and see if there is any yellow down there

Thank you all, I will try going the other way and see what happens. Where I am digging there was a cross current that is no longer there due to the water dropping. It may have simply moved the gold around the rocks but I didn't think it would have moved so easily but we are talking very small...

Thanks EternalChase, I didn't think we had moved more than a couple of feet but maybe that is enough.
