Testing a new 14" round goldstalker

Had a chance to try a new goldstalker just picked up today from coiltek by a mate,ideal for comparison as I've been using the 14"NFA for the last few weeks.First impression was very light,no falsing to speak off it was rock solid through rocks,leaves,sticks and scrubbing.Sensitivity is excellent.The 1g piece was at 10".I noticed it required ground balancing slightly more often as seemed more responsive to changes in ground mineralsation.This was a hard coil to hand back to the owner.
The 2g was found with the 14"NFA at only 2" and the smaller bit at 3"

Can't believe you got to detect today was pouring here all day , non stop . Interesting regarding coil sounds really stable awesome stuff . cheers papoutsi

Hi Papoutsi
Dry all day today,got out for a short time this evening after work.I haven't used a goldstalker for a long time after the issues on the last one.

Papoutsi, Mate we live on the right side of the Great Rock Wall (great divide) no rain here today, and always good for detecting

Duetran very interesting about the new goldstalker coil. What size were you using and was it a Mono or DD? I don't know to much about them, but what you said and the results you got it sounds like a good coil.

nice pieces deutran

i was up in wombats neck of the woods yesterday and a couple of times it threatened to rain but it never quite made it,didn`t see a drop all day.
cheers dave

Well done on the finds Deutran and by the looks of it either coil brand would serve you well,thanks for the feedback.

Cheers Eureka Dreams

Nice finds and well done Deutran.Just like in the days of old,the 14 inch round Coiltek mono's and DDs ruled the roost.Not much more has changed today.The 14 rounds in both DD and mono configuration are still what I believe to be the best power to weight ratio for small and large nuggets at depth.

Cheers kon61.

Hi Kon61
I only wish I'd known 12 months ago,these new detectors are truly capable with the larger coils.I've been following your posts lately and its really what I am thinking.I don't have much experience with the early DD coils and machines so that part of it is still a bit of a mystery but trying to make sense of it.

Hi Wombat
I'm only using mono's and both coils were 14" rounds spoked variety.

Well done Steve
Jeez,you do well mate very nice finds,reckon if you walked around with a stick in your hand,you would still pick em up,excellent keep it up.
Cheers Moffa
