What is a fair price for this Coil??

14 January 2012 - 11:16 PM

I picked up a new coil and don't think I need this one. Was going to offer it for sale and want to have a realistic idea of its value. Prefer not to deal with FeeBay.

NuggetFinder 14" x 7" Elip Mono with cover. (Coil only)

Thanks

Not very big--but a couple more!

Snuck out for a bit today and slowed down and bumped up my settings a bit.

I was very happy to pull a couple more pickers from the red dirt! They are not very big but they are starting to add up!!

New settings and a couple of pickers for my efforts.

Well I switched to SPECIAL so I could take advantage of the FINE Gold timings. I'm learning! :blush:

I played around a bit with some of Pete's suggestions and checked a test nugget until I felt I was in pretty good shape. Took 10 steps and got a faint sounding hi-low and about 3 inches down out pops a 7.1 grain picker. A few hours later and several bullets later, I get a similar hit and out pops a 4.2 grain nugget.

The 5000 is pretty sensitive to small gold with the 11" mono. I was pretty impressed! Everyone has told me that the place I am hunting is POUNDED so I am happy as I have pulled 6 pieces out of there so far.

20 grain nugget from last week.

Thanks for the info guys!
