Diamond ring was just found recently in chest deep saltwater with the Coiltek Nox 15 inch round coil. I had been out wading for an hour or so with little results, but then a nice sounding target low tone came through my headphones.
Most places in Canberra have been heavily detected over the years. This was my first outing with the 14×9″ NOX coil. As we were driving to the next spot, we drove past a small park at the end of a road divide.
When a new accessory for one of my favourite waterproof metal detectors comes out, I always want to know how and where it will make a difference at the beach. I have four different size search coils for my CTX 3030, so where does the waterproof 14×9” CTX help me as a beach and water hunter?
After trying the Coiltek DD 10 x 5″ elliptical Joey coil at an old ruin with great results, I decided to try some of those trashy high traffic areas around the club rooms at a local football oval and some local netball/tennis courts. Surprise, surprise, the football oval was no different than most with a multitude of pull tabs, screw tops and bits of squashed up foil littered everywhere making it very difficult to detect successfully.
I recently visited the Gold Centre Maryborough shop in Victoria wanting to trade in my detector and coils to upgrade to a second hand MINELAB GPX 4500 and I chose a COILTEK 10 x 5″ Joey coil.
