Hello All, Here is an old video I found back around 2014-15. I was using the Minelab GPZ 7000 metal detector, working a small ravine where I found many ounces of gold throughout the prior years. This was one ravine or wash where I always brought the next best detector to give it a whirl. For at least 10 years, I have been able to return back to this spot and find a few pieces deeper that were missed. It's a hard spot to work at least with larger coils, as the ravine or wash is loaded with large cobbles. This particular day using the GPZ 7000, I managed only a few targets, but this one happen to be gold. It was a faint whisper type target under a large cobble. I managed to remove the cobble and this is where the video pretty much starts. The nugget weighed right at 1/2 ounce and was probably 18-20 inches deep. The ravine or wash needs to be handstacked and then detected. There is no question, there is probably several ounces of larger nuggets still hiding at depth. I have dozens of older videos I haven't uploaded to Youtube. It's just a matter of time uploading these darn things. Hope you enjoyed. It's out there and "maybe even where you find it!"

Hello all, I was able to purchase a GPZ from Rob a few weeks ago, and have had success cleaning out some old patches. My first run into took my girlfriend and her daughters out with me. I hit was wash that I had struck out with my old detector. I was able to find a few nuggets for 3.5 grams in about 45 minutes, then the girls got cold and wanted to head home lol oh well. The next day was to be a more serious day detecting. I met up with a buddy and went right back to that wash. I started pulling one nugget out after the other. Radioed Dave and he was striking out in another wash so I told him to start at the top of my was and hopefully he'd get his GPZ over some gold. I ended up with 20 pieces and Dave for 9. My best day behind a detector. 13.6 grams. I have since went back to that wash and got 2.5 grams each on 2 separate days slowing down, hitting the sides and moving rocks. I may even try to find the source. Thanks Rob for great customer service, on a great piece of equipment. Now I need to get the 19IN coil. Lol Can't wait to get back out this weekend.
