[QUOTE="loamer, post: 137796, member: 981"] I have taken quite a shine to the 12" NF mono running full-time for [u]general[/u] searching on my 4500. Why? gotten older, coil is a hell of a lot lighter and I have found that it gets me a start most times. Then, as the boys have stated above, be prepared for some smaller/bigger patch clearing coils. If I hit a dry spell, I revisit my research and do some detailed analysis of the soils, topo, geo etc. Ground too deep for a 12"? Duffer spot? etc etc. I have found the joey coil is great fun on mullock heaps - super duper small gold finder guaranteed. The issue I have with small coils on the 4500 on mullock? The whole set-up gets out of balance and quite frankly can be a bit of a strain. To test this wack on a joey and walk up and down and around mullock heaps for a couple of days. Soon gets you back patch hunting pronto. ;) [/QUOTE]
