Hi Hendo, It was my understanding it was one of his rentals, near his house, but I could be wrong. Regardless, it's a sad situation, but believe I read on Facebook or somewhere that it was a rental property and the renters lost everything, I think even a animal or two. Rob

You're very welcome. Thanks for always being a long time loyal customer to us at Rob's Detector Sales. If anyone ever needs anything, advice or products, we are always here to help. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ROB

Hello All, Sorry the forum is really dropped in attention, but thought I would post a quick one about some gold I found earlier this Summer. Decided to run out with a friend for a half day of hunting before it got too hot and we ended up doing pretty well. I rounded up a handful of small nuggets for over 12 Grams and a friend found I think 7 Grams that day. Since then, we have been back and removed another 20 Grams of gold from the nearly area. We were both using the Minelab GPX 6000's and hunting shallow ground and bedrock. Just some suggestions for Summer hunting - Hunt with a partner if you can, bring plenty of water, hydrate the night before. I suggest some Snake Gaiters, if not Doc's Snake Gaiters/Knee Pad Combo, Light colored clothes, Hat with a good brim and back cover, Sunscreen. If you start feeling hot, get out of there for the day, the gold is not leaving. God Bless,

Great Story Bob. Wow, talk about a close call there! A partner and I also had a nice claim on Antelope for many years, but never really enough water to really dredge, so we ended up selling the claim. The following year, there was Winter storm after storm and Antelope ran for about a month straight, crystal clear dredging water .... go figure! Rob

Great news, excited to carry them Doc. Keep us posted. Rob

Hello Fishing8046, Tons of footage, just don't have the time to upload it .... Hopefully we can get some traffic back here, always fun to chat with others. Any suggestions on getting more people to post/talk? Rob

Is everything better guys? My previous website guy let a bunch of stuff lapse and it caused havoc about 4-5 months ago. Everything is fine, but due to my site getting a virus last year, many of the anti-virus companies blocked (Blacklisted) my URL to - robsdetectors.com. My new website person has been actively working on getting it corrected, but it's a slow process to get it back to original. It can take months to be cleared from the Blacklists. Worst case, you can always call us at 623-362-1459 or text me at 602-909-9008 if the site is acting funny. Just so everyone knows, the site is clean, protected so there is no worries anymore Rob

Hey Guys, That is correct, I have plucked about a dozen nuggets so far from old hammered patches with the new GPZ 17x13 Z Searchcoil. Most of them have been smaller, .5 to 1.5 Grammers at amazing depth. I have yet to get over something to really write home about, but we all know the smaller nuggets in the Gram size are the real "beans and bacon" of metal detecting. I have nearly paid for the coil in just a couple times out over beat up nugget patches. Rob

Hello All, Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and an upcoming New Year - 2023. It's been hard to break out prior to Christmas, but managed to sneak out the day after for a hunt. I spent the entire day with the Minelab GPZ 7000 and the NF 12" Round Searchcoil and ended up with a nice handful of gold (small patch or pocket found). Not shown are the 100+ trash targets ranging from boot tacks, wire, can fragments, bullet casing, lead bullets and more. Glory to the Great Lord for allowing me to finish the season with a nice pocket of gold and hopes of a great 2023 prospecting/metal detecting season. 71.70 Dwts of nuggets or 3.58 Troy ounces of gold. Rob

Hey Guys, Really liking the new Garrett. However, I'm still getting fixed feeling about the Iron ID with the DD coil. Like all discriminators, especially on PI detectors, they are not super accurate.

Hey Guys, Due to my limited time, I haven't had much time on the new Garrett Axiom metal detector. However, my first impression on the unit were pretty good. First, the new Garrett sells for MAP of $3995 or 15% discount for USA Active/Retired Vets. I believe Garrett marketed this unit to fit perfectly into the budget of most gold prospectors and treasure hunters. They also give you the option of two packages, one with wireless headphones and a 11" Mono and 13" DD, or wired headphones and a 11 DD and 13" Mono. Many of my customers have been split on the packages, the ones that want more depth out of the box seem to take the larger Mono packages, while the ones that are looking for max sensitivity to small targets and nuggets go with the 11" Mono. Secondly, overall the unit is very light, lighter than any other gold hunting Pulse Induction metal detector including Minelab's GPX 6000. I also believe Garrett built a bit better design, haven't seen issues with a shaft turning or wobbling as of yet, seems like a stronger design from other similar manufactures. Finally, on the Goldfields, the unit was very stable overall. I used the 11" Mono the entire time the first trip out as I wanted to just get used to the performance of the unit before dabbling too much with the DD and Iron ID. That being said, Garrett does offer the Iron ID on this unit, where most other PI's have done away with any type of iron discrimination (GPX 5000 and prior). Many believe there is still a need or use for Iron ID in trashy locations, which I do tend to agree. The unit was simple to understand without even reading the Quick Start Manual. I charged the Axiom the night prior, let it charge overnight and removed in the morning prior to the hunt. I powered on the Axiom, adjusted the sensitivity, placed in Normal mode, Tone around 55, adjusted my threshold, used in Medium Tracking then did the EMI tune and started hunting. The unit ran really smooth and stable, the only time it was a bit unstable, which happens with most detectors is when a airplane flew over. This would last a minute or two, then calm down. Believe it or not, my first target in a very trashy area was a nice nugget (pictures will come). I couldn't believe it, had to yell over to a friend and say, "Dude do you believe this?" That being said, I spent the next hour or so digging through a bunch of trash and didn't find another piece until later. I only had a few small hotrocks respond, which could easily be ID's when seen. I ended the trip with 4 nuggets, two pretty nice ones and two smaller ones. I also had a nice pouch full of iron rubbish, as I was not using the DD or Iron ID on the Axiom at the time. This will be something else I need to experiment with, as I heard the Axiom does very well with the Iron ID mode. I was hoping for a bit more sensitivity to small targets, as I was running the "sensitivity" almost all the way, but realized later I wasn't in "Fine" mode, which I believe will increase the overall sensitivity to small gold even more than the "Normal' mode. Quick Conclusion - Garrett did a great job on this unit, it's priced right, performs well, very lightweight and will have other searchcoil options available. The unit is super easy to use, almost a turn on and Go detector. I know there are a ton of people going to ask, is it better than the GPX 6000, I'm not going to say that, but I think with the price, performance and a USA made detector, Garrett hit a "Home Run" here. P.S. I don't claim to be an expert on this detector, I have had very limited time on it, but do have over 30 years detecting experience now, so I felt I could give a fair, quick field test on this new Garrett Axiom. May all your targets be Golden! Rob
