[QUOTE="Billy, post: 166668, member: 1111"] G'day Retro, I have the the 705 with the 18.5 elliptical coil and have found tiny bits of lead, staples, old timers boot tacks etc, but my 2 favourite finds are these: 0.23 gram nugglet: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1111/1436166655_gold_1.jpg[/img] and this: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1111/1436166655_6p_ed_for_g_forum_1.jpg[/img] If I was to buy another coil for it I would probably get the 6 inch coil for really getting in amongst the rubbish on the goldfields. I have no problem with pinpointing with the coil I have but think the smaller coil would be better for the really rubbishy areas. Great machine but as its a VLF it does struggle to punch through the mineralised ground that gold likes to hide in. Good luck with it and the more you use it the more you will find ;) Cheers, Billy.
