  1. ☹️🔫 So, you think you are good with your detector, and then boom! Lol! So what am I to do with this gorilla arm now from all the hours on the ZED??
  2. Hello Mike! If you change your mind on the sdc please call me ok? 530 927 7910 thanks bud have a good one!
  3. So I have hardly ever used the big mono coils, one is a coiltek 11” mono and the other is a 12x15 minelab coil. The other 12x15 is a DD. The gold bug 2 I cannot figure out. I think it may need a trip to fisher. I did inquire about it, I’m just not using this, I inherited it from my father in law who never used it. To be honest I don’t know what to ask for the gb2 and I would like to see all three coils gone at once so I can get a Joey for my gpx. All I do is snipe. I don’t use them and they are in like new shape. You can email me at sierragoldseeker@aol.com thanks. I will remove when sold
  4. I would trade my coiltek 18 mono or 12x15 mono minelab coil for a joey DD. just trying this before I buy the mono..
  5. paratrooper, it must have been so. It dried out, and works as good as ever. I am so relieved! My trip was just as I had hoped for. I did well enough to pay for next year with the whole family! happy. Now back to the record low creeks for the rest of the summer.
  6. Ok for now, it seems to be working fine! I am so happy I cant find the words. Anyway, I took off the one cover, filled it with rice, and replaced it. I then set it on the nose of the locomotive while I went across the blackrock desert today. When I got home, I dumped out the rice, and fired it up. I live in very hot ground, and it still found a 3gr nugget that I just threw out In the yard. (with tape around it) it sounds just like it should. So I am off to the claim at 8am for one last try. hope it works! Thank you all, I will report back!
  7. I'll try to answer you all here! First, yes I do have a backup detector, (t2) I found lots of nuggets with it, but nothing deep. I do like it a bunch... BUT its not my elephant gun, as some say the gpx is. I am going to the place I have dreamed about since I was a kid. At least I am still going! As for the box, ok I will open it. just wasn't sure! I am out here in elko now, so headed over to Walmart to get a tool set. I brought just the box with me. I haven't posted on here in a long time, but I appreciate the help. Chuck, great story! I know exactly which whites you are talking bout. My buddy has one that is in perfect condition, looks like new. You know in 07 when they took our dredging, I wanted to keep diving. I better try a AT PRO, if I am going to keep this up. This is a first for me in 7 years of detecting the creeks. Maybe I am getting old though. I have never fell so fast! As you all know, the creeks are very slick this year, and WARM! Dave, yessir, I hope this does it. Thank you I messaged you on fb, but it didn't go through for some reason! I read a post where you said that before. If it comes to that, cool. that would be a wash with the gold I found just before the dunk. just bad timing! thank you all, joe
  8. well, the title says it all. I slipped while dredging with my platypus. I don't know how I didn't keep it above water, but its done now. I turned it off immediately, but it was making some weird sounds first. I fired it up today in the house and it sounded fine. So off to the claim I went to see. I guess the heat made the water inside vaporize, and it started showing on the lcd screen. I took some grainer nuggets with me, and it sounded off to them fine, but then it acted up. SO, Is there a poor soul who may have done this? I don't have a star type to get the bolts out, but I was thinking about taking the cover off and putting it in rice. My daughter did that for her cell phone, but who knows here. Anyway, it sucks bad, as I love this detector. I feel there couldn't be a worse scenario, because I leave for Alaska on the 18th for ten days.. Thanks for the help!
  9. I hope you are talking about the middle American, not feather!
  10. I just took a guy out yesterday who bought a 3500 fron Doc in 06. He never used it at all, so i was more than willing to help him out, i wish i had someone to do that for me when i bought mine! Anyway, this thing right out of the box, was a great. stable, easy to use detector! I was very impressed with it! I say just use what you have, as i think for the ground that i was helping him on is the very worst ground in ca. I also think it was a tad more stable, but not as deep as my 4500. As far as modding, is it the same guy that goes by woodypoopoo on youtube? I have used some his pointers on ground balancing and freq tuning religiously! cheers guys
  11. I'll get a better pic. And yeah no other coils will work as well in this ground. Got another nice one yesterday, but no camera! Oh well. This was going to be my best year, but i embarked on training my Lab for hunting this fall. Well, he jumped out the window of my jeep doing about 20mph. Long story, but two ounces of gold later, a new hip and a three month recovery has taken a lot of my time this year. Dang! I'm not getting any younger thats for sure. Take care, joe.
  12. mines may 8th. i'll be in duns. i sent you some good stuff.
  13. howdy, i was swinging a 4500 and settings were- deep, very slow, gain 10, special, sens extra, target 48. with the joey dd, it was around 8 or so inches deep. Not bad for a joey!
