[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 604783, member: 3149"] Goldchaser & Kingswood, to answer your questions on the 14, yes as you'd expect some performance is lost compared to the 11" mono which is just super hot. But, it is still very sensitive and in places with a lot of emi it runs a heck of a lot smoother. I took it to a spot with some old workings that sit right up against an electric fence. With the 11" mono I need to be about 70m away to avoid the continual ping every 3-5 secs. With the 14" DD I could be 10m from the fence. In an hour and a half I managed this lot.

A couple of the bigger pieces had some depth to them too. I'm sure there's gold there, just need to spend more time and get the coil over it. During field testing I was working a spot and the ground was very wet, and this spot is known for having very bad clays. The 11" was moaning and not real happy so I strapped the 14" on. It was a lot quieter and I was able to run the sensitivity 2 clicks higher. I only dug one target and it was a flat bit of gold maybe 20cm down. Can't recall the weight but I remember thinking, "is that it?" So yeah, it is going to come in real handy when the need arises. [/QUOTE]
