[QUOTE="guipago, post: 476237, member: 4170"] Your experience is a mirror image of mine using a Xterra 70 a long while back when they first came out, using a DD 18.75hz 10x5, could pick up every hot rock in the creek as well as every piece of rubbish, noisy as, I guess if there was a nice nugget in the creek it would pick it up. but not the stuff the miners were getting, it didn't have the goods to sort thru the smaller nuggets or specks vs the rubbish, mineralisation was also a problem & we have plenty of it, the coil couldn't cope, worked well in america where the soils are quieter, I think that's who this coil was designed for(might be wrong), there might be someone in OZ who got on top of it(I never did), findmall.com has an xterra section which could help, an american site, the sdc 2300 i have went over the exact same spot a couple of years ago & got NO hot rock hits, plenty of junk, 1/4"barbed wire tines at 8", no gold, so maybe try the river bank for coins the miners have dropped just to get a good target, it's what the xterra was designed for.
