nugget7 1 Report post Posted January 5 Just purchased a used GPX 5000 with four coils. The machine just has about one or two hours on it, and it looks brand-new as do the coils. Actually, only one coils was ever attached to the machine. Just wondering for here in Arizona, if I just wanted to retain one or two coils, which would you recommend that I keep out of these minelab coils: 18 inch round Mono 15 x 12 elliptical Mono 10 inch round Mono 10 inch DD round Thanks in advance for your advice.

Jennifer Bond 82 Report post Posted January 6 Sell them all and buy a Nugget Finder Evolution.... once you put one of them on, you'll never use any of the others..... ask me how I know..... if you don't want to do that and want to use one you have, depending on where you are the elliptical is handy for under and between scrub.

Chris Gholson 1,065 Report post Posted Friday at 07:45 PM I would agree with Jen; the Evolution coils really brightened up my GPX. The 14x9" EVO is a great size for the AZ goldfields. If you can't go with the EVO, I would hang onto the 11" Mono and the 15x12" Mono. Good luck out there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with Chris, only add would be that if you're a relic hunter, hold onto a DD for discrimination. Jen (super excited as my new Nugget Finder Z-Search coil Chris sent should be here today scratch that, just checked, won't be here till Tuesday... Yay, thanks again Chris) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nugget7 1 Report post Posted Saturday at 04:53 AM Hi Jennifer, I followed your advice & found a new Nuggetfinder 14"x9" Evo. mono from a guy who got it in a package deal. Tested on a few sub. gram .03 & .04 nuggets as compared to the ML 11" mono. Really a much better signal. Thanks again.

I'm very happy to hear my guidance worked out, you won't be disappointed in that coil, Evo's are my favorite and have found me lots of color.... and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, see page 2 of the below link for a 25" DD Chris sold me.. in fact I just ordered one of their new Z Search coils for my GPZ which should be fun to use on my pounded patches... welcome to Evo ownership.
