Grubstake, How do you like that Platypus coil?

[grubstake]

I love it, when this one wears out, I'll just keep replacing them. Best coil I have ever used, got and found more gold than any other coil I have used, and I have tried all brands, they all have good and bad points, but this one is all good. Grubstake

Hi Grubstake,

Very nicely done Could you please repeat the secret location where you found those. I must have missed it

Again, excellent finds and thanks for sharing!

Fossil, yes I'm still running my 2200sd, with the coiltek lithium battery system, and a DOC's Deetac amp, Blackwidow headphones. The only mode is one I did myself, I put a switch on the handle for ground balancing, like the 3500's have, just a momentary switch wired into the GB switch, that way I can run in fixed, and if it gets to bad, I just hold the switch down and reground balance it. other than that its just a stock 12 year old 2200. But if it gets over gold, it gets gold. Knowing your detector is the secret, not the machine. I hunt with guys that are running GPX's, 3000's and 3500's, and I still get more gold than they do! Because I know my detector inside out. Grubstake

You can get one from ROB Allisons forum, or Doc's Yank Assie forum, from DOC. They just amplify the sound on the 2200 or a GP, run of of the detector battery, and plugs inline with the power cable. $100.00 if I remember right. Just go to www.nuggethunting.com and look in his online store, or ask him in a post. Grubstake

Nice score Grubstake! Did you by chance have Shep swing his coil over some of those targets? Would have been interesting to see if you could hear it and his could not...good going on the haul!

Well its my opion, that since he was running a mono, he was not getting the same depth and sens. I was, but he's hard headed. My uncle and I tried to tell him you need a DD up there, because of the mineralized red clay. We have 2200's and he has a 3000, I think he though or thinks he can use a mono with his set up, but mono's will drive our 2200's crazy and mask all the nugget sounds. I use what produces gold for me. Everyone has there own style of detecting, my gets me the gold, so it must be right for my machine. Grubstake

About three years ago, I requested that Coiltek make a waterproof, ten inch open web coil. They said they had no plans of doing it. I am glad to see they changed their mind and that it works so well. This will be my next coil, Thanks for the feed back Grubstake. Take Care, CH
