  1. Hey Chris and others, I just added the other pictures. Congrats once again!!
  2. Hey Chris, Those are some amazing gold nuggets! Congrats on joining the 1+ ouncer club. Many can hunt their entire lifetime and never get over a 1+ ounce gold nugget. Would love to see more pictures. If you can't post them, send them to me at - rob@robsdetectors.com and I can post them. Hope you clean up some more nuggets out of that area.
  3. Hey Guys, I know I haven't been posting too much, just got so much going on here. I have been out with the Gold Monster and probably have 20-30 hours on it to date. I have found some nuggets with it also. At first it was very hard to get used to with no threshold. I never really hunted with a silent metal detector or ran no threshold. I guess I'm always wondering if it's working, so will scan over my boot or some metal item. Sensitivity is very good and it works great on moderate to high minerazation from what I have experienced. The unit is very lightweight and easy to use. Luckily, I haven't had any issues with the coils falsing, but have heard others having issues. I would definitely rate it one of the top VLF's out there, but I'm still giving the max sensitivity edge to the Fisher GB2 metal detector @ 71khz. For $799.00 MAP, it's price great for two searchcoils included. Toss in the 15% Military Discount and you save almost another $100 on top of that price. We always have them in stock and will be doing some training on them if needed. I will get a few pictures of nuggets I rounded up with the new Minelab Gold Monster 1000 soon.
  4. Hey Guys, Thanks for asking. What I can tell you is that there is something that I find exciting getting ready to happen. I along with another will make an announcement about some things we are going to be doing, along with at least one outing yearly. More to come very soon .....
  5. Hey Scott, No, I will place you down on the pre-order list and contact you once they arrive. How does that work for you, Scott? Hope all is well.
  6. Hey Guys, Here is a nice little spread of nuggets that a friend sent me. He has been using a Minelab GPZ 7000 over some old nugget patches that have been hit pretty good with prior Minelab PI's. Hope you enjoy.

  12. Hey Hendo, No, he redone his - www.arizonaoutback.com online store, but I don't think he has a link to the forum on the storefront yet. Here is the URL to his Arizona Outback forum - http://arizonaoutback.ipbhost.com/ Hope this helps a bit.
  13. Hey Guys, Thanks for the comments. We do our best here to treat customers like we would want to be treated.
  14. Hey Fred, Thanks for the kind words. It's starting to get busy here as the Winter season is just right around the corner. That being said, we try to ship out all products the same day (if ordered early enough) or the next business day for sure. Anyone that hasn't ordered from us before, we would love to earn your business!
  15. Hey Gravelwasher, Thanks for sharing with us. Great group of nuggets you guys found there.
  16. Hey Chris, Thanks for clarification on that. I should have noted that. The Keystone was fun to hunt when Jim "Oakie" Malone used to own and operate the placers below. The old famous Lunker Hill was a fun place to hunt. Jim was always pretty good about letting prospectors come up and hunt for a percentage.
  17. Hey Jen, I'm sure I'm missing a few pieces here and there, but feel I'm getting the majority of them. Many of these pieces I have missed for 10 years with prior detectors, just reaching down to depths to get the ones I'm getting now. That being said, I have noticed in places in Northern Nevada and even Gold Basin I was always able to run a much hotter detector than other locations. I could even run the GoldBug 2 all out in Northern Nevada where it struggles big time on the ground I'm working now with the GPZ.
  18. Hello All, Pretty good article and short video on US Gold Corporation and their new project in Nevada called "Keystone." I have always heard about Dave Mathewson and his discoveries with many mining companies. You can read the article here - http://scienceofstocks.com/forget-overpriced-tech-stocks-gold-investing-is-making-an-impressive-comeback-4/ Dave Mathewson -
  19. Hello All, Spent some time with my Daughter fishing Lynx Creek. We didn't have any luck catching fish, but we wondered all around Lynx hiking and on a Boat. Some decent looking ground around there and it was about 15 degrees cooler than the Phoenix area. Curious if anyone has poked around the Lynx Creek area with a metal detector? I know they have the gold panning area down around that Gulch, so you would think maybe the headwaters of at least that Gulch might contain some nuggets.
  20. Hey Jen, Congrats on the new nuggets. I haven't tried Steve's settings, but I know for the most part on the ground I hunt, an increase in Gain/Sensitive means more ground noise. I have done well working with a Gain around 10-14, depending on the ground conditions. I have found plenty of small gold missed by my GPX 5000 that I'm finding down 10-12 inches. The biggest piece so far with my GPZ 7000 is the 6.8 ounce specimen (4.2 ounces of gold) at nearly 3 foot deep. Then again, maybe I'm missing gold not using those super hot settings ......
  21. Hey Guys, Here is the article wrote by Arizona Al in the GPAA magazine back in around 1995. It was shared by a forum member here. Thanks for allow us to view it.
  22. Hey Guys, A forum member sent me this over, it's the Article Arizona Al wrote in the GPAA back around 1995 about T-Bone's large nugget.
  23. Hey Rod, Good question and I don't honestly have an answer. I have emailed my Rep to see if she could give some more details. I will post back when I hear something. Thanks for your business and hope you're enjoying the GPZ 7000 metal detector.
  24. Hey Jen, Ya I had a late day at work, but will ship tomorrow morning US Priority Mail to you. Thanks for any referrals and your continued business with us!
