biggrin.gif Rob,

There is nobody else, that I would recommend to a friend, and I just told a friend, from Denny,CA on the "New River", to get CT Platypus coil from you, he has a GPX wink.gif

Any new's on any new Allterain coils from Coiltek?
would, like to see a larger DD Pro like the "Wallaby", but Allterain tongue.gif

P.S.
I'm not going to dredge, this year cool.gif I thought I'd never say that - but I'm hooked on detecting blink.gif

Take care,
Ed

Denny - I havent been there in years...... but I had a number of advertures there way back when.

Used to be a fairly dangerous place - pot growers and booby traps out in the hills.

Had some good gold though!

And very beautiful country.

Hello Big Ed,

It's great to know I have a good friend over in the Mother Lode! biggrin.gif The Coiltek Completely Waterproof Platypus Searchcoil is a "Hot Seller!" It's really the only reasonable sized searchcoil that you can use underwater for the Minelab SD/GP series detectors. I'm just glad I never jumped ships on Coiltek. huh.gif

I gladly appreciate any business you send this way. smile.gif

Well, for the time being the new Coiltek coils probably won't be seen. I was hoping to see a prototype before I went to Moore Creek. I talked with Trev @ Coiltek and it sounds like everything is on hold for the time being. The minute I hear something different I will let you know.

I tried to convince Coiltek to make a 15-inch WOT for the Minelab SD/GP series. The WOT is so freaking light. The Coiltek 14-inch Round was the hottest selling coil when Coiltek first started manufacturing aftermarket searchcoils for the Minelab detectors. I think the 15-WOT design would be a good all-around coil, plus it would be waterproof! cool.gif

Talk with you soon,

Rob Allison

Hi Rob,

Yes, I like that WOT coil, I got from you for my Eureka Gold but have not put it to the same use, since I got the GP 3500 & CT Platypus rolleyes.gif What is your opinion on the full size Coiltec UFO coil? and if my ground is to hot for a large mono like the UFO, would it be worth having?

I plan to use the Eureka/Wot combo on the hill sides this fall, to check around some outcrops, and cooler weather wink.gif very very steep ground...

Take care,
Ed

Hello Big Ed,

The Coiltek UFO is a 24x12 elliptical mono that is completely waterproof. It's very light and will find some pretty small gold due to the size. When it comes to these web-type designs, it a matter of preference. There is no doubt this coil will get more depth over the "Mini UFO" and "Platypus."

Both the Mini UFO (17x10) & UFO (24x12) Mono's come with a FREE Lower Shaft also.

If you think the ground might be too hot for a mono, I wouldn't purchase the UFO.

Talk with you soon,

Rob Allison

Hey Ed:

It depends on how you define "locals".

When I used to go back there in regularly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, there were loads of growers up in the hills - they may not have been there year 'round, but they were up there for the growing season. Pot was by far the most valuable crop in the Shasta / Trinity area. There was like a whole hippie commune of them in old Denney. As there are no roads to old Denny, they brought everthing in and out of their camp on mule back - they had like a dozen or so mules.

Both the growers and the miners hated the forrest service. There used to be a forrest service office at the campground at New Denny, but the "locals" burned it to the ground one time when the Forrest service folks were out of town for a bit.

I have not been there since around 1996, but I hear the feds have done much to go in a root out the growers and get rid of them. The growers were a dangerous group.

Chris

Hey Chris
The USFS closed the Ranger Station in Denny last year, so no more patrols in the New River District, meaning the Dope Growers will be having a "Hay Day" again.
