  1. No chaps for me either. Have a pair of Whitewater snakeproof gaiters for years and I would not be without them. Try Cabelas. Great for cactus, thorns, brush, and general lower leg protection. The buckles are sturdy, and the gaiters have held up well. They do get hot, but I guess that is the price you pay for protection. I have had a few encounters with rattlesnakes, but fortunately never tested the gaiters.
  2. Always nice to hear from the "pros" to keep us amateurs motivated! I have the GB Pro stock setup with 5" coil. Been using it in S. AZ for a few months now, but no nuggets yet. Looking for some advice - seem to be a lot of hot rocks out there. In All Metal (Gain about 11:00 and nice smooth threshold) a typical hot rock will show between 3 and full iron bars, and I will hear the threshold die as I get over the rock and increase as I move away from it. There are no signals at all if I go to DISC mode. I can GG directly over it and usually it will balance out. I do have a .3gram test nugget that I found with my recirculator. It gives a nice zip sound up to a few inches. In DISC mode it gives 43-45 with almost full iron. How do you guys handle hot rocks? How to identify them easily with the GB PRO. Best way to distinguish a nugget with this machine. Many thanks, good luck and stay safe. TSB
