Heres some of the gold I found with the new 18.75khz six inch little wonder.
It was all found in open public access areas within the Victorian Golden Triangle region. The largest, if you can call it that, weighs 3 1/2 grams and the smallest .1.
I find it very similar in sound wise, from targets, to the 10x5 Elliptical 18.75khz. Targets close to the coil absolutely crack in and have you thinking they are twice their actuall size. Many were found simply sunbaking but in difficult to get to areas coil wise. Lots of scrub and other debris.
This coil is nice and stable, very much like once again, the 10x5. It handles the bad mineralisation nicely allthough I reckon the 10x5 in the really hot stuff is more stable. You would expect that though with the added sens the smaller coil offers. How much more sensitive is debateable and sort of hard to define.
Especially when your out detecting alone and have not got the option of calling your mate over to see what he hears with a different coil on.
Testing things out myself though has showed a noticeable, not huge so dont expect that, increase in sensitivity. I was getting the same sound with the little 6 on a half g bit set on 22 as I was on the larger 10" set on 30. But its not right across the board as some bits dont sound much different no matter what you do. It appears the smaller the gold gets the better the 6s advantage. I did find though some really spongy gold that is 1 g in weight which on the 6 just, and I mean just, registered, so thats a good thing for where that type of gold abounds.
But, its no magic bullet for anyones gold hunting woes as you still have to ultimately 1 find out where the gold is, 2 put your coil over it and 3 know your machine backwards forwards inside and out.
All up I love it. Sweeeeeet.
