Best Coil for gold in Oz

[C. Nyal de Kaye]

I am looking at buying an xTerra 70 with both coins and gold in mind. There is no gold where we live, so mostly we will be after coins. However we do go to the Golden Triangle in Vic each year and I would like to know what coil is best for gold.

Hi there C. Nyal de Kaye

The best coil to use with the X-Terra 70 on the Australian Goldfields is the HF DD 10x5" Elliptical Coil.

This coil is good for searching and pinpointing. It's the best choice for Patch searching and general Prospecting.
If you are finding Gold with this coil and enjoy Prospecting, also consider the small, 6" HF DD coil... but ONLY as a secondary coil.
But without a doubt, the main coil you want to consider is the Elliptical Coil.

Cheers!

You will want a higher frequency coil for those small nuggets. HH and good luck, Mike
