    Do you have a small coil for your Nox? Some people swear they’re better than even a gold monster at finding small gold...

    That's a nice shed/workshop/doghouse! Spring will be here before you know it and you'll be back out in the desert. No worries!

    o_O You know I can stuff and hide a body down that trap door also! :p

    But seriously, It’s more common to do that than you think. I used to work for a rafting company up near Angels Camp, and their property was an old mining camp - it had some old miner’s shacks that had trap doors on the floor with locks in them that lead into their mine adits- those miners were paranoid about getting mugged down there.

    Took a crack at swinging the old ground today.
    I haven't had a coil to the soil like that in over two years. Love the hum of a minelab!

    I have a CoilTek 11"x17" I don't use. It's not flat wound though. I've had it out several times but have found no gold with it. It is a bit heavier than similar coils from other manufacturers.
