I have a 11"dd on my 2200d and want to use something else, I gather using the same setup as everyone else i am disadvantaged. I detect in central vic (fairly hot ground)
I have spent a good 20 hours plus detecting around tarnagula, vic in a total of 5 gullies, I found some junk, a belt buckle - but no gold. I was with a guy that had a gp he also found nothing so I think the areas we tried were already detected i am sure there is gold still out there - but diff coil setup gives u more flexability.
any suggestions which coil I should move up to?

thanks

joe

Joe, try the 14''DD from Coiltek.

Peter what suburb are you from?

How many times do you get to go up?

Have u used the 19" ufo dd round coil?


Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe
I'm from Bendigo, and I go out most days. I use a modified SD2000, usually with the Mono coils,have never tried the 19"
Cheers for now, Peter.
ps. Where are you from Joe??

Hi Peter how are you?

Im from the western suburbs (sunshine nth) only 1 hour and 40 minutes to Tarnagulla.

Im using an sd 2200d and will be purchasing a 10" epp mono coil and a 14" dd on Friday.

I am also updating the battery pack to the 12 volt system. I am told it gives out an extra 10-15% in depth because on the normal pack as the battery is used up it looses the depth.

Feel free to email me - joe@labyrinth.net.au maybe we can meet up at tarnagula.

Up to you


Im a good young bloke and I am good company and not a pain in the butt.

Talk to you soon

Joe

Hi Joe
Good to know that your keen, Think about the battery idea, if you change batt's every 3 hours you dont run them down too much.
Would love to meet up some day.
Ever think of joining a detector club, there are outings every month to different areas and you make some good mate's, thats what I did and have never looked back it opened up a lot of ground that I didnt know about.
My Email is { doddpc@netcon.net.au } if you want to stay in touch, and if you want to join a good club you can come with me as my guest to a meeting and a field trip the next day. Anyway think about it.
Cheers for now, Peter.

Hi Joe

The coil set up The coiltek 14"dd and 10"mono are a good choice as is the 12 volt battery system...
