Nugget Finder Coils

Nuggetfinder coils were first manufactured in the early 1990’s, by Barrie & Rohan Johnson of Barrie Johnson Detector Service in Wedderburn, Victoria; a small country town renowned for its’ rich goldfields. Consisting of a small range of lightweight, fiberglass coils, these products were very popular amongst the Australia prospecting community. Constructed entirely by hand, Nuggetfinder offered prospectors high performance coils without the excessive weight associated with similar sized coils manufactured from plastic. Read More

 10 inch Elliptical Mono
10" Elliptical Mono Measuring approximately 9” long by 5” wide, this hot little monoloop coil is renowned for its’ uncanny sensitivity towards small gold. Capable of locating nuggets weighing less than 0.1 of a gram. Its’ small size, ease of maneuverability, and heightened sensitivity makes this coil ideal for bedrock sniping, crevicing, getting between thick brush, or for working dry-wash piles or mine dumps. Actual weight of coil including skid plate, cable and connector is 1.19 lbs.

10 10" Round Mono This 1.56 pound wonder retains the qualities of the classic 8” mono while giving the operator added ground coverage and precious depth. How’s the sensitivity? Some of the nuggets found in Arizona during field testing were so tiny they would not trigger a digital scale! The 10” round is an excellent all-around prospecting coil that can be swung for hours on end with little fatigue. It is highly effectively in brushy or rocky country and for running creekbeds and washes. Also, because of its’ round shape, detectorists will notice a slight edge in depth when compared to the 10” ellip. mono.

14 14" Elliptical Mono Measuring approximately 14” long by 7.5” wide, this coil has quickly become one of the most popular weapons for the serious creekbed and gully hunter. The 14” is monoloop in configuration and elliptical in shape to offer maximum sensitivity towards smaller sized gold nuggets. It weighs 1.6 lbs. and comes standard with our robust black plastic skid plate and mounting hardware. Because of its’ narrow, knife blade-like design, the 14” can be easily maneuvered into tight nooks and crannies, beneath boulders, and amongst brush where other coils have difficulty reaching.

14" Elliptical Monoloop Super-Lite this coil is ideally suited for use in areas of heavy brush and boulders. Its slender shape allows it to “jabbed” beneath rocks and up under bushes and cactus where many nuggets have been missed. The heightened sensitivity around the rim of the coil allows for quick and easy pinpointing of targets when turned on edge. What sets it apart from our standard 14EM coil is its spoked design. The coil has been hollowed out to dramatically reduce the weight, which means you will be able to detect longer with less arm fatigue. Measures approx. 14” x 9”.

14” Round Monoloop Super-Lite is one of those coils that really offers the best of both worlds. The mid-sized diameter gives plenty of depth penetration and ground coverage, but still retains the feel of a small coil allowing it to be maneuvered amongst obstacles such as brush and rocks. This highly versatile design can be used on a day-to-day basis, and in virtually any gold-bearing environment. It is just as much at home on a quartz strewn hillside as it is in a dry, desert gully. Its’ ample depth capabilities and heightened sensitivity has made this coil a favorite among serious nugget hunters. Measures approx. 14” x 14”.

16 16" Super Lite Mono The SL’s are essentially a “spoked” coil. They are built using the same proven techniques as the solid-fill NF’s (i.e. fiberglass and Litz wire) but sections of the coil have been hollowed to noticeably reduce the weight.The 16” SLM weighs in at a mere  860 grams. All SL coils carry the full 12-month factory warranty and includes heavy-duty skid plate and mounting hardware. Measures approx. 16” x 16”.

17 17" Elliptical Mono Super Lite No frills, no hype - just solid performance! In fact, this model has been one of our best sellers to date! Currently being used by professional nugget hunters across the Western United States, the 17EM is ideally suited for seeking out new patches or for pulling smaller nuggets at depth on “hammered” ground. This coil combines ample amounts of both sensitivity and depth making it one of the most versatile coils on the market. It is larger in diameter for added ground coverage, but because of its’ elliptical shape it is considerably more maneuverable in brush and rocks. The 17EM can easily grab those ½ gram (and smaller) bits of gold off the bedrock while still having the ability to reach out on the bigger nuggets at well over a foot! Measures approx. 17” x 11”.

20 20" Super Lite Mono A big coil with even bigger performance! Its’ monoloop configuration and “above average” size allows it to pick out faint targets at greater depths than its’ smaller counterparts. The 20RM is proving itself to be a solid performer; in fact, one of our Australian field testers plucked 80-ounces of nuggets in a three-month period using this very coil! It is ideally suited for wide open spaces where maximum ground coverage and depth penetration are needed. Measures approx. 20” x 20”.

24 24" Elliptical Super Lite Mono This design offers the user a tremendous amount of ground coverage and above average sensitivity for such a large diameter coil. The monoloop configuration causes the coil to be “hot” around the edges which aides in pinpointing, plus it helps to maximize depth. Comes standard with a full 12-month factory warranty and includes heavy-duty skid plate and mounting hardware. Measures approx. 23.5” x 12”.

25" Round Mono Deep nuggets are no longer safe! Dubbed by prospectors as “The Big Easy”; Attach one of these to your Minelab GP or SD detector and you’ll out-punch just about any other machine on the planet! It may look heavy, but first impressions can be deceiving. This coil falls into Nugget Finder’s Super-Lite Class, which means it is spoked in design. The center portion has been essentially hollowed out to dramatically reduce the weight, which means you will be able to detect longer with less arm fatigue. The newly designed skid plates are custom molded to fit the support struts of the coil and offer maximum protection.

What is this coil primarily used for? The 25RM excels in two areas: patch finding, and searching for large gold nuggets at depth. When exploring new country for patches it is important for a prospector to cover as much ground as possible per day. A large diameter coil like the 25RM makes that possible by allowing more ground to be scanned in less time. Along with ground coverage, depth penetration is another area prospectors are always striving to improve. Simply put, a bigger coil equals better depth. Try out this coil on those supposedly “hunted out” patches and you might be amazed at what is hiding 2 or 3 feet beneath the surface. If you are looking for pure penetrating power the 25RM is just the ticket! Measures approx. 25” x 25”.
