Title: new coil Post by: legio11augustus on October 19, 2014, 05:25:17 PM i decided to buy a new coil from a well known auction site,ive just bagged myself a job after being unemployed for a year so i thought ,hell i will treat myself to a 2nd hand coil.
being a tight wad i didnt want to go to mad as the month before i bought a set of chef phones(what a difference its made). so i spotted a stealth x-12 for my explorer for a reasonable price and won it with a maiden bid. with my new job i do a lot of travelling ,so i parked up fairly near to my home waiting for my job to come through on my app ,and spotted a field with the maize cropped. so next day asked for permission but the farmer was reluctant,but said he had another field that had been cropped. to be honest it was a horrible looking field buisnesses all built up around it and near the railway line,i was expecting tonns of scrap,and i wasnt wrong . but 30 mins into the field i had a signal,and bamm! out popped my first ever gold coin. if anyone can value this for me i would be grateful,so i can give the farmer his share because i would like to keep it Title: Re: new coil Post by: bristolminelab on October 19, 2014, 05:28:27 PM nice one fella the farmer will be happy to give you more land :
