Thanks for your assumption of the coils,have just bought a 14x9 coiltek, awaiting arrival,using the 11inch now and working a treat as you say,very small bits, but the right colour,cheers 🍺👍
@martinneale27948 күн бұрын
100% agree, I have a coiltek 14x9 and nugget finder 12x7 , but after 12 months with the 6000 my favourite coil by far is the standard 11, I’ve found gold with all 3 and all are good coils, but every time I go out the 11 is on my detector almost all the time now just love it
@rumpig8458 күн бұрын
Absolutely I'm a believer of the 11" coil. Many times after pulling back a patch of loose overburden to will on another piece the slight hum of the threshold change is instinct. I'd even cleared the middle of a creek to the green clay and had a mate with the nugget finder and he couldn't definitively identify any target. I'm on my 3rd 11" coil but I'm content. Nice bit. Cheers 🍻

@chrisc8856Ай бұрын
Hard to believe the 11" is out doing the 9x14 or 5x10 coiltec. It is very true that having too much sensitivity or gain can have a backfeed effect and diminish performance so it is logical to assume a less sensitive coil could be a benefit in some conditions. Always good to have a reality check in the field. Thanks for taking us along.

I just went to a very popular area near Durikai with dig holes like craters on the moon, I got not one piece of gold but 2 small pieces of wire with the stock 11” then after morning tea I put the 9” on and all that afternoon I was busy and the next day until after lunch when it rained I got 36 bits for 1.78g, tiny tiny poop that everything missed, it’s not worth writing home about but in desperate ti es it’s $200 petrol or food money, love your videos Smokey you legend.

Thanks Smokey, may I ask if you had a GPZ7000, lived in Brisbane, and had no 4WD where would you go that would give you the best chance of finding nuggets, based on your experience? I don't mind hiking a fair way, I need to get some funds in before I go far north.
@techguru44482 ай бұрын
Thanks Smoky, I was thinking about visiting this site and I was not sure if it was a worthwhile prospect or not, so it is great to get a visual on the area. If someone was just going to use a gold detector and they did not have a 4WD but were willing to hike what area would you recommend in Gympie if you don't mind me asking?

Great ears Smokey. It's unreal how small the targets can be and at depth. I'm convinced the technology is at its peak. Like, how much deeper do you want to be picking up those size targets. Or 1 gram at a metre. Great to see you out on another adventure. Cheers 🍻

Yeah we found it quiet this year too. There was. Spot I found a few in and never went back. The first right after you leave town from the family hotel side. This takes you down a track with the town on the right. There is a gully along that with heaps of mullock heaps. We found a few up out of the gully below the rocks.

Hi Novo, yes data was and is expensive to use for upload on the go using our phones and we don’t get much from YT to cover costs, hence the lower quality. I’m pretty sure our latest are 720 which will be better.

Nice to see you guys are still plugging away finding gold, met you both about 3 years ago when we went down to Karara and stayed there a couple of nights. I was sat with my mate and I heard your unmistakable voice across the site lol It was like meeting a movie star lol I spent a a few months looking for gold but never found any, I then gave up but still kept detecting. But recently I decided to try again but not go all in and get a GPX5000 again. Decided on the new Algoforce E1500 with a Coiltek 9" mono to get me started without breaking the bank lol Keep the videos coming as your efforts are not at all in vain, you have taught so many so much of the years and had fun at the same time. If you take gold hunting too seriously it will the better of you. Keep having fun and making more views for us all to watch we do appreciate you both and your efforts :)

Im at a site where the 7000 is no better than the 2300 ..... but where the 6000 is king. After 2wks at same sight, running same dirt: 1st run 7000=12 nuggets, 2nd run 2300=9 nuggets, 3rd run 6000=180 nuggets and still climbing. You do the math

Hi mate, I have moved on the NF coil now although I think that is the better of the two in my opinion. I stick mostly to the 11 now to greater depth and ease of use. The NF is slightly less sensitive on the small shallow ones than the coiltek 10x5 but runs a bitter quieter on the chatter from my experience. Both great coils though. 👍
