When to use the Sierra Goldmax 8 x 14

For a Goldmaster owner who mostly prospects open, washed ground, the 8 x 14 inch Sierra Goldmax is a coverage coil: its long footprint sweeps a wide strip, and 50 kHz keeps it tuned for the small gold that prospecting is about. Where the ground breaks up into boulders, roots and tight cracks, a long coil is hard to keep flat and close, so we would switch to a compact Goldmaster coil there and save the Sierra Goldmax for the open stretches between. Ground balance again after any coil change.

White's GMT manual warns never to lift a wet coil above the height of the control box, because water can run down the rod into the electronics. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
