Show off your old bleeper, coils or Bugg storys...


I don't bleep much any more and just use my bug for hard rock, to make sure I don't destroy a big piece in the vein and keep me on the lead.
Heres a pic of my trusty gold bug and the coils I used in my mining. The big coil cover with holes was one year that treated me very well I think I have 500 miles on that one? The hole went through the coil also. I don't really have any nugg pics from the old days just lots of memories.

The round one is my favorite hard rock coil and has done very well for me, its also worn through, it chased a lead with me 36 foot deep in solid rock before we lost the signal.
I have only tried one other bleeper, it was a mine lab I liked it and would probably own one if I ever had the $$$$
