Rockpile Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just thought I'd share my finds from the first two outings with my new gpz. It should be said that the ground I'm searching in the second(second picture was my first time swingin my gpz) pic has been hit by every other detector under the sun. The grass is tall an dead, very tough conditions. The first photo is in a new area I found with my gpx4000. Again, extremely tough area, heavily forested old diggins with sticks everywhere! The duff was about 3" thick, hot rocks were a serious issue with my 4000... all I can say is that I absolutely love my new machine! (The 1852 3¢ piece was found on my first trip out) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted October 19, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hey Rockpile, I have to agree, I didn't realize I left that much gold behind at depth with my GPX 5000 and prior detectors. I was a bit "concerned" about the real performance of the GPZ 7000, but it didn't take long to prove out to be a great detector, especially for depth and very crystalline or specimen gold. I wish it was a few pounds lighter and a bit more ergonomic, but I guess you can't have everything! Congrats on your recent success with your Minelab GPZ 7000. Wishing you many more nuggets under the searchcoil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Very cool finds, Rockpile. I find that I have to move a little bit slower with the GPZ than I used to with the GPX5000. But that could just be me. My method is to detect the area at a moderate pace and slow a little more with each indicator. 3 indicators and I am crawling. But that is just my method so that I don't grow old trying to cover a few gullies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
