Trying to get a 4' extension for my Vista Gold thru Deepwoods Detectors.
Most of my hunting is in the lakes. I have a bucket of sand in my living room as it's 20F and snow on ground. I buried a 0.89 gram 14k gold ring that barely fits on the tip of my little finger in the sand at 12". Both the Orx in the gold modes and Deeptech Gold w/ gb negative hits that ring at 12" with the coil raised about 3" to 4". And the Vista Gold was using the Super 6, 8x6 coil. That's amazing. Simplex and Lobo would only hit the ring at 8 1/2" and Equinox was only 9" w/ 11" coil. The Orx & Vista Gold were hitting it hard. I was amazed the Vista Gold did as good as the Orx in the gold modes. I don't know why the Equinox didn't do better. The Equinox had no hit at 12".
On iron tests in the house the Orx, Vista Gold and Gold Kruzer were all about the same. The amazing thing with the Vista Gold is how quiet it is in iron.
I going to put the Vista Gold in a waterproof bag w/ the battery. Then put it in a small backpack and take it in the water. It should be awesome in the water and that Super 6 will sweep easy. As quiet as it is it would be perfect. Also giving it a thought of getting a straight carbon fiber shaft with a handle for water hunting with the Vista Gold. I thought I would be hunting with the most with the Orx. Now I think it will be hunting most with the Vista Gold if I can get that extension.
After I hunt the water with the Orx or Vista Gold then I will go thru with the Gold Kruzer with the 7.5x4 coil for the smaller gold.
I sold my Equinox 800 w/ 11" and 6" coils, carbon fiber shaft and the Simplex.
My detectors now are:
XP Orx w/ 9" hf coil
Gold Kruzer w/ 9.5x5.5 concentric, 9.5x5 dd, and 7.5x4 dd
Deeptech Vista Gold w/ 11x7 and Super 6 coils
Lobo ST modded gb w/ 8" and 5.75 concentrics (trying to sell it)
