Woo! A new video from you two! Glad to see you're still at it :)
+eyespliced ...Been flat out over the winter eyespliced, and prospecting has had to play second fiddle. Got a few new ones in the pipeline to make up for the absence. Hope all's been going great over your way.....Cheers Wal.
Fun to watch you guys! Wal likes his new coil.
+einsteindrieu ...Sure do like his new coil mate. Take care...Wal.
I'm impressed too! Glad to see you back with more gold video's W & L. You must be old Wal, "I'll bet London to a brick" hasn't been heard since Ken Howard died. It was amusing to hear it again.
+Walter Kerr ...You're right there Walter...I'm certainly not getting any younger, and the body seems to be telling me that on every hill I try to climb these days. Good thing I'm thick skinned and don't listen to it lol. Hope your Xmas was great and the coming New Year is golden. Take care...Wal.
Nice nuggets Wal n Liz. been a while but come back blazing.
Cheers and the best of the New Year to you both
Cliff
+Coyote Rider Thanks Cliff, it's been a busy six months for us and we've been missing the prospecting quite a lot. Hope all's been great over your way and may the New Year be golden for you. Cheers Wal.

Thx for sharing
Fantastic results there Wal and expertly videoed and captured by Liz, thanks for posting and all the very best fora big 2016! Ian
+Willo's Australian coin, relic and gold detecting ...Thanks Ian and all the very best for 2016 to you and the family. Hope the year is kind to you and your detector. Cheers Wal.
Wal n Liz , I always love your videos. Great nugget's. I'm from NH, USA and find only small gold. Happy New Year and I hope your year is great.
+Chris Hall ...Glad to hear that you enjoy some our vids Chris. Hope the New Year is golden for you, and though the gold in your area is small, I hope that a lot of it finds its way into your gold pan this coming season. Take care and all the very best...Wal.
I'm really thrilled that you guys have uploaded another video. A belated Xmas present and what a great Video it is. Great finds Wal and excellent editing Liz. Can't wait to see the next one - would be really fired up if it was a hi-banking vid in an exotic location... Myles
+Outlander 51... Glad you enjoyed the vid Myles. We've been that busy lately on projects that prospecting has been light on. High Banking time is just around the corner mate so pretty sure a vid will follow soon. Just not quite sure if it will be in an exotic location....lol. Take care....Wal.
good to see you out and about, great finds again - well done
cheers Joe
+TheJBK111 ...Thanks Joe...getting time to prospect at the moment is the hard part. All the best for the New Year...Wal.
Hi Wal & Liz - Happy New Year! - Great video - to share on New Years Day. I'm in a similar looking location in central Victoria - getting some nice flakes from the crevices - after seeing this - I might break out the detector and go up the bank - now that I've seen how it's done. Pretty sure I too can find one of those 100 year nails LOL. Cheers Thanks for sharing GL & HP Ian.
+IrocOn2 ...Happy New year to you as well Ian. 100 year old nails are a real challenge mate, but I'm sure you will set your sights higher to at least be the right colour. Hope all's great and the gold is being kind to you. Cheers Wal.
Congrats on the nuggets, great to see a video out by you two again.
+steve w #1 ... Thanks Steve. Been too busy with other projects for a while so prospecting has had to take a break for a while. Season is starting again for us so hopefully there will be a few more vids in the pipeline soon. All the best for the New Year. Cheers Wal.
You guys really look like your having fun! Great video and great finds!!
+NOTAPOLITECANADIAN ....Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the vid. Hope all's going great over your way, and all the very best for the New Year. Cheers Wal.
What a great video guys. Those shiny rocks were awsum. Time to dust off the detector me thinks. Good to see you guys are out and about even in heavy heat. Good luck on the next one
+Chris M ....You're lucky you didn't come down on New Years Eve Chris, as frying eggs on the exposed bedrock was a very viable option. We only lasted a day in the heat but fortunately luck was on our side. Take care and talk soon.....Wal.
Cool nuggets man well done
Great work guys, keep the gold vids coming! Always enjoy watching your new discoveries and learning about prospecting methods and new kit...Hope 2016 brings you lots of good gold! Cheers

Great coil and tips , I just picked up the 17x13 Evo 😁 thank you.we recently started a channel and subed😍
Love you 2 amazing couple Liz your so funny love your sense of humour keep up the good work guys xxoo
Thanks for the watching and the kind comment Rebecca. All the very best...Wal.
Awesome nuggets
thanks ive been looking for a straight answer on the 17x13 nugget finder coil
+Harold Harold ...Thanks for watching Harold. I' mainly run mid range and larger coils looking for the deeper targets. The beauty of these new generation coils is they are particularly sensitive on both the small and large targets.
I ran a Coiltek Elite mono in the same area and found it to also be a great coil, with not much difference in depth and sensitivity.
The reason for my preference to the NF Evo is the fact it is an elliptical and more versatile in the tight areas we have on the NSW fields. Also the elliptical I find has superior pinpointing ability, and for the larger coils this is a big advantage. Best of luck out there...Wal.
thanks again
WOW nice finds Guys and I'm Glad to see a new video. I always enjoy your Video's very Nice indeed.
Congrats........
+YFZMoto ...thanks mate and glad you're still enjoying the vids. Hope 2016 is kind to you and that luck follows you around all year. Take care and all the very best...Wal.
Hi wal and liz. I'm new to detecting only been out twice but have found gold both times. I have a ng 12" evolution coil on my 5000. I have been wondering if it would be worth it to get a 13 x 17 evolution. I guess I'm a bit impatient and tend to cover a lot of ground. Is it worth it to use the larger coil for patching or just stick with the 12"? Thanks.
The 17x13 in my opinion is too heavy for a patch finding coil, and what I use with great success for patch finding is the NF 17x11 spoked elliptical. I also run the 12" Evo and it is a sensational all round coil. My bet for a deeper seeking coil than the 12" would be the 15" spoked Evo. I'm working a lot in NSW, where there is a lot of undergrowth and uneven terrain and that is why I use the 17X13 evo quite a bit with great success. What to have as a coil selection is a very difficult subject to give advice on....but If I was to restrict "my" coil selection to 4 coils only, my choice would be a Sadie8x6, a12 Evo, a 15 spoked Evo round for depth, and a17x11 spoked for patch finding. Hope this is of some help and good luck on the nuggets. Chers Wal.
yay you're back!!!
+Jacktb333 Gaming ...Thanks for watching Jack and hope all is going great over your way. All the best...Wal.
Great Vid guys. Some beautiful water worn nuggets. I got an evolution whilst in WA and was pretty impressed with it. I will be heading down to NSW and VIC for Feb, March and Apr. Would be great to meet you guys if possible. All the best for 2016. Regards John.
+Aussie Bloke Prospector ...Be great to catch up John if you're down our way. Just send me a PM and I'll give you my details. We're hoping to get back to WA next winter but will be over here in the East till mid June. Take care and catch up soon...Wal.
Nice nuggets. 2grams and a bit is well worth digging a hole.Congrats.
GL & HH
+thomas101834... Thanks for watching thomas. We were fortunate to find the 4 pieces that day for just over 1/2 an ounce, but the heat got the better of us and forced us to abandon our planned stay for an extra day. Hope Xmas was great for you, and all the very best for the coming New Year. Cheers Wal.
Where did you get your snake chaps?
Hi, what model and make metal detector did you use in this video?
It's a Minelab GPX 5000 Tim.
You've sold me Wal, currently using a 17 x 9 advantage coil and upgrading to an evo...was gunna go for the 15" round but think I'll go gor the 17x13 now. Good video...cheers
Thanks for watching Turon. 15" round and 17"x13" are almost the same in every aspect...ie depth capability, sensitivity, weight, etc...but the reason i prefer the 17x13 is the ease in which it can pinpoint compared to the round. Good luck with it....Wal.
nice chunky nuggets ,,thanks for sharing
+robert betts ...Thanks Robert and hope the gold is being kind to you over there as well. Take care and all the very best for the New Year.....Wal.
I'm impressed too!
+Dennis Petersen ...Hope all's going great over your way Dennis and the New Year is golden for you. Take care, and all the very best...Wal.
how exciting!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching kitty. All the best...Wal.
Nice job I wash fly poop size gold from Swiss rivers but its fun. Keep the vids coming.
+Southpaw Davey ...Thanks for watching Davey and hope you have some good luck this season in the Swiss streams. All the very best...Wal.
yay, i missed you guys!
+Ksp Player ...Thanks for watching Kps. Hope Xmas was great and all the best for the New Year. Cheers Wal.
you too!
That was cool,thanks for sharing.It does not seem like an easy way to get rich unless you are very lucky.I wish you both plenty of luck and good fortune..Cheers
What type of metal detector is that?
It's a Minelab GPX5000 Appleguy. Take care...Wal.
Another enjoyable video thanks.I'm not going to ask you where the location is but just wondering which state.
Thanks for watching ozzy. This is in the Bathurst region of NSW. Take care...Wal.
Hello, very pleased that you appeared on UA-cam, the video is good that in the new coil, mono or dd? The name and manufacturer of coil?
+Rinat9746... Thanks for watching Rinat and hope you found the vid enjoyable. This particular coil is the 17" x 13" Mono Evolution, and is made by Nugget Finder. All the very best...Wal.
Pity about the nail but a great result. Good video guys (again).Making me itch to get out there again.
+Dan O'Hara (Detectist) Thanks for watching Dan, and I'm sure you would have experienced the negativity from those frustrating nails yourself. This one had me really beat, as the last 3 targets were all gold and in the same location. The old saying "you win some, and you lose some" seems to always stand true when swinging a detector. All the best...Wal.
Would you still recommend the 17 x 13 Wal?
Certainly would.. I use most of the time these days..
In 2:23 did you say Eliptical are better than round coil?
Thanks for watching Fabio. Elliptical and Round coils both have their advantages in your arsenal, and we use both types. The 17 x 13 evo and the 15 round evo are about the same in sensitivity and depth capability. The advantage for us with the elliptical is it has better pinpointing capabilities and is better suited to the vegetated areas we work. Best of luck out there....Wal.
What region is this within 100 km ?
It's in the Bathurst region of NSW. That's about as close as I will give but remember that "Research" is your best friend in prospecting, and very few will mark an "X" on the map for the general public to see. Best of luck out there...Wal.
Thanks Wal -- i appreciate your kind clue
I love your video
+maggie lowther Thanks for watching Maggie. Take care...Wal.
Hey there Wal n Liz,, just want to say love your videos and hope you keep em coming! hehe.. Do you think a Minelab Commander 15'' x 12'' mono would have pinged those nuggs ? Regards. AL
+Volcanic ...Glad you're enjoying some of the vids Volcanic. I've run over this particular patch with just about every coil there is, and I use the spot as a coil testing ground. I missed these few with the standard 17 x 11 NF and with both a 14" and 18" round. The 18" was a minelab Commander, and the reason i missed them was the particular area had reasonably high Tussock grass which didn't allow the coils to get close enough to the ground being non elliptical coils. The Commander 15 x 12 from my previous comparisons was pretty equal to the NF 17 x 11. Based on this I feel quite confident that the coil would have been right on the border line of seeing these nuggets. The signals were barely a warble and break in the threshold so would easily have been walked over by an operator not knowing just how rich this short section was, hence the extremely slow and methodical coverage required. Commanders are great coils, but I feel these new generation coils have a noticeable advantage....not huge...but certainly noticeable. Best of luck..Wal.
+Wal nLiz .. Thanks for the informative feedback Wal, i'm in the old coil dilemma at the moment, emm.. 17x13 Evo or 15 Evo or even the 16 NF solid.. im thinking if the 17x13 just heard those nuggs 'maybe' the 15 or 16 would just hit em a bit better (being round) if you could get them close enough to the top soil.. emm,, i wonder.. decisions/decisions.. All the Best.. AL.
+Volcanic ...That's where the dilemma rises Al. How many coil configs is too many. A 15, 16, 18 round would certainly pick them up deeper if flat ground wasn't an issue. The trick I guess is having a mix of elliptical and round to cover most bases. In VIC and WA round coils cover you more than adequately because of the flatter terrain. NSW with its mountainous terrain crates it's own problems and an elliptical in the both the small and mid range is of huge benefit. My personal presence is a 12", 14" or 15" and 18" round, supplemented by a Sadie and mid range eliptical. That gives a range of 5 coils which covers pretty well all scenarios. Best of luck with the dilemma mate....Wal.
+Wal nLiz I wouldnt mind having about 10 different coil configs for my 4500 Wal but i'll probably end up with around 5 as i have my old Minelab XT 18000 with a 15'' round & 10 x 5 elliptical coils and use the new Garrett AT waterproof pin pointer too. I search mostly around central NSW and know what you mean about the mountainous terrain, certainly gives me a good exercise workout! Hope to see you's out on the track someday! All the best, cheers.. Al
Wal nLiz, you don dig the floor jajaja just filming, anyway, nice job the men congratz for both.
+Fabio_536 Czibej ...Thanks for watching Fabio and all the best...Wal.
Nice finds
+finpainter1... Thanks fin and all the very best....Wal.
Wow! Watching how thorough you guys are in your vid's, it says a lot about the 17x13 that you went back and found more. I'm thinking about a 4500 at the moment, I'm guessing it would do quite well on that machine as well?
Thanks for watching JF. I have also run this coil on a 4500 and have several mates with 4500's running this coil in deeper ground who do extremely well with it. It does take a few setting changes, and runs best in Enhance with a slightly reduced Gain and Stabilizer setting. Good luck out there and hope the gold is being kind to you. Cheers Wal.
Thanks mate, that's good to hear. Sorry to be a pain, but can I throw one last question at you?
I've seen a spoked version of this coli on Nenad's site... would there be any performance difference with the spoked version, and would the slight weight difference make it more suitable as a patch finder?
No difference in performance JF and both are great coils. I prefer the solid as i tend to scrape the coil often in the locations i work, and the solid has less tendency to snag. My favorite coil for patch finding is the 17 x 11 NF Advantage as this coil can be swung all day long without fatigue due to its lightness. The Evo's come into their own once you are on ground that is giving up nuggets or has been heavily worked by the standard range of coils. Take care out there...Wal.
Thanks for you help mate... May your nugget finder keep finding nuggets :)
nice finds guys
+cssspoon ...Thanks for watching cssspoon. All the best for the New Year. Cheers Wal.
Wal, a contractor I once worked for bought some new tools for the crew to use. He told me, Sometimes there is a need to gratify an engineer for his good work, by buying his product! :-)
Old Fred was a good guy.
Good luck with the machine!
..Have you got a separate one for Liz?
rc
+Rusty Case Thanks for watching RC. You certainly best off with the right tool for the trade and in detecting this stands very true. I've run the 5000 for a long time and I consider it the best machine on the market....even when you throw the 7000 into the mix. Liz runs a Whites TDI Pro as she finds the GPX series too heavy for her. All the very best....Wal
Aha! Competition !!! How about a 4hr challenge ? In the morning, before it gets too hot? Biggest nugget wins. :-) rc
Then, of course, Liz will see it's well taken care of...
+Rusty Case Wal's going to win hands down as I'll still be asleep until it gets too hot to sleep in. :-)
Well. Okay Liz. You're the boss!
...and How is Pedro??? rc
+Rusty Case He's doing great Rusty. Got a couple more of his videos to be uploaded soon. Cheers, Liz
hey WnL, u guys done super watch out 4 the heat it will get YOU!, hope u have more vids 2 show i love them, BET THAT COIL IS HEAVY , like a ton?
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+MrCoin Digger ...Thanks for watching Digger and glad you like some of the vids. For a reasonably large coil they weigh only 990 grams and are quite manageable, even without a bungee chord. Take care and all the very best for the New Year. Cheers Wal.
liz i love all your vids my friend!!
GOD BLESS U BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!
+MrCoin Digger Thanks for MrCoin Digger and all the best for the new year. Cheers, Liz
Hello how are you doing Wal and liz
I've always had an interest in in gold ever since primary school when I learnt about it I have been watching your videos for probably about 4 years now and I like them very much I am 25 years old now in late last year I finally went out and bought my first metal detector a gpx5000 and would you believe it the first time I went out got a 4.7g and a 1.8g beginners luck I guess Found in qld Durikai I live in Brisbane I am hooked now I would absolutely love to meet up with you I feel like what I would learn from you would be priceless but I guess the videos are good enough keep them coming and
I'll keep watching thank you cheers Mitch
+Mitchell Paterson ... Thanks for the kind comment Mitch and glad you like some of our vids. A couple of nuggets on your first trip out is very impressive, and you've certainly got the best machine to swing out on the gold fields. We're in Qld quite often so there's always a chance we could bump into each other on the field one day. Hope luck follows you around with that 5000 and take care out there. All the very best...Wal.
+Wal nLiz thank you very much hope I run into you sometime and if you don't mind me asking what state was this in cheers Mitch
+Mitchell Paterson ...This is in the Bathurst region of NSW Mitch. Cheers Wal.
+Wal nLiz good to see you still getting Big nuggets out there
Thank you, must get out again to find some bullets.
+Chris B ...Thanks for watching Chris. I hope some of those Bullets end up being Gold in colour for you. All the best...Wal.
its such a downer to hit those useless irons. But I try to think positive and say to myself I just did the nature a favor and removed this rusty garbage plus got some free excercise :D
Also would recommend u a pinpointer :D
+Zorroborro ...Thanks for watching. Cheers Wal.
Cool :)
+Ty N Thanks for watching Ty. All the very best...Wal.
Why don't you guys get one or two of those pin pointers?
We've got pin pointers but find they are more useful for coin hunting than nuggets. Cheers Wal.
Another great vid guys, but where was Wal? Kept on hearing him but couldn't see him through that moving shrub 😝 but all seriously looks like an awesome coil who needs a Z hey 👍🏻 cheers
+Buzzthemuzz ...Thanks for watching Buzz, ...that moving shrub is almost a necessity these days mate...lol. I've run the Z and though it's a great machine I find the versatility of the GPX, combined with the new generation coils, a far better investment. All the best and stay safe...Wal.
+Wal nLiz thanks mate love the vids, do u you think this coil would Run the same on a 4500 ? Cheers happy digging mate
+Buzzthemuzz... The 4500 and 5000 are pretty well the same machine minus a couple of Timings. I'm sure it would run exactly the same in Enhance, and probably just as well in Sens Extra. It's extremely sensitive to moisture in Sens Extra and I tend to usually knock the Stabilizer down to half the Gain setting for these situations. Cheers Wal.
Must be worth a bit! $1000???
+Celtic Saint ...Thanks for watching Celtic. It certainly pays for the outing, but we mainly do it for the challenge and the hobby. All the very best for 2016. Cheers Wal.
Happy New Year to you too.
who was that videoing to the left... see that spy?
plz be safe...
pay day.
+Bob N Thanks for watching Bob. All the very best for 2016. Cheers Wal.
use pinpointer dude
+wearediffrent ....Thanks for watching. I find as a general rule they don't speed up the process much. They can sometimes be of benefit with the larger coils, but there is drawbacks when using the larger coils in that the pinpointers interfere with the detector when the settings are boosted close to max. The old saying goes...some like them....some don't. Mine's been sitting on the top shelf of the cupboard for many years now. All the best...Wal.
I bought a new old stock Minelab 1600 in the early 90's and found a 4gram nugget 3 and a half feet under a sandy shore next to the river... it worked on the 6.4 kz frequency...I had the best time ever watching my new 19 yr old girlfriend dig it up in her micro bikini.... it don't get any better than that boys!
+Mike Smith ....Thanks for watching Mike. Great to see that you have had success with the gold, and it certainly is a great hobby to be associated with. All the best...Wal.
