We have a few Western States Prospecting Association openings available. PM me with your email address and Ill send you information and an application. Were a limited membership capped at 100 paid members. Dues are a family membership for $135 a year, seniors pay $100 after the first year. The claims are proven to hold detectable gold with locations in 3 western states CA, NV and AZ. Like big gold? This one came from one of our NorCal claims!

sadie coil ?
nvchris replied to deathray's topic in Youtube Prospecting & Metal Detecting Video Forum
Nice coil, perfect for tight ground! https://youtu.be/m2SBiXL-Id0 https://youtu.be/tfKAuGw-6V0 -
Yes, The Gold fields program and a custom (in the next slot) that shares opposite settings. No iron discrimination on program 10 with 0 reactivity and just enough ground notch to quiet it down. Then program 11 with full (5) discrimination, reactivity @ 3. What nice is its ability to customize the coin/ relic modes to suite hunting small conductors. It's deadly on cut hammies in the iron choked medieval sites. This translates to success for coins and nuggets in our "modern" sites.

Accurate ground balance is the key. As it's a near silent search when properly GB'ed. My unit came with the 9", but have and like the bigger coils. In gold fields mode try reactivity @ 3, iron discrimination @ 5 and sensitivity at 85% Moderate fast coil speed. You can put the big coil on and whip it patch hunting.

Stock (and some normal c cells) batteries are too small and a good whack causes them to loose contact. Give them a single wrap with tape to improve the fit. The rechargeable ones Rob sells don't have this problem.

Most of the Fly Ranch geyser photos have been photoshopped to enhance the colors, not that impressive when seen in person. Here is a data base for Nevada Hot Springs. Some are killers. http://www.hotspringsenthusiast.com/Nevada.asp As for gold deposits, it's the ancient hot springs that I like to explore around, not the active ones.

GPZ7000 UNDER POWERLINES
nvchris replied to Bullit's topic in Gold Nugget Hunting & Prospecting Forum
I tried it out directly under power lines, while you can hear the 60 cycle interference it still hit hard on test targets.
