howdoo dirt burglers,i met up with ysbytymike yesterday to do a deal with him for a 15''x12'' sef coil for my recently acquired sovereign elite.what a nice guy.
 anyway first time out i have been blown away by the depth on these coils on a sovereign,hit gold within 3 holes at a depth of 10'' ,nearly blew my ears off loland a silver earing at 18'',gets 5p at over a foot :o.
 the ring is 9ct and 7gms ,weehee who needs a job anyway lol

if any newbies are considering hitting the beaches i can thoroughly recomend the s.e.f coils.i have a 15''x12'' on my etrac which i have done really well with ( check my posts). cheff geoff our very own detecting guru sells them so give him a pm.
 happy days weeeeeeeeeheeeee more gold more gold more gold

Well done Mike happy days!!!! :)

cheers herb mate ;)

Very nice, keep them coming.
Well done   :)

will try but they are a bit scarce this year compared to last years finds lol :)

way to go mate

Well done Mike, that is a great set-up of coil and machine and the same as I used to use. People will say that the Etrac and Explorer is great on the beach but I don't know how it does it, but the Sov leaves them it its wake.
I look forward on seeing some older finds coming up when the October storms start hitting the beaches ;)

cheers geoff will be getting even bigger coil off you before then mate for my collection ;)

Well done Badger - good to see you back in the gold!

he.s only gone and done it again.lol...welldone badgers great finds mate..keep it up !!

Nice finds, how does it compare weight wise against the sov coil.

nice one badgeski!!!! :0)

Cracking result Mike, got a great set up there buddy, look forward to more bling post's soon ;) ;) ;) ;)

Nice find, I'd be made up with that  :) I've been thinking about getting a sef coil for my xs-2a. Have you tried it inland and if so how did it do?

its obviously heavier than the tornado coil it came with but i have fibre glassed the main control box to the rest underneath the arm rest and it deems pretty balanced out.
 i'm used to swinging the 15'' sef,been doin it for 18 months now with the etrac but i do use a harness with that ;)

i aint tried it inland yet but will do at the gileston rally on 23rd mate,watch this space to see how i get on ( normally dismally at rallies lol )

Good luck at the rally, Let us know how you get on with the sef.

Well done, they are great inland too found me roman finds at extreme depht... :o

Although i use the SEF with an explorer its the best coil i have ever used on a beach and really good
even on small items inland WTG Mike...

great find and hope you get plenty more gold

went back same beach today with the sov and 15'' coil and got the deepest silver ring i have found yet.it was 12'' down and in 2'' of black / mineralised sand wow :o
 looks very old and has a crown on front of it,pattern on sides worn off ,some sort of hallmark ,two letters one is a v but cant make the other one out,any idea's peeps?
  :)
 when i learn how to use this machine properly im gonna be rich weehee lol
