Admin nuggethunting Posted August 25, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Minelab GPX 5000 scores some specimens!! This last weekend I managed to escape into the goldfields and give the GPX another workout. After a few hours of metal detecting, I was able to score 3 decent Dwt+ pieces in a small ravine. You can view the pictures below, including the one specimen (gold and Quartz) piece hiding in the bedrock. The second part of the day I played around with the Minelab SDC 2300 and scored 4 small ones. Ended the day with 7 nuggets for a total weight of around 1/4 ounce. P.S. Notice the amount of lead and casings I dug during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted August 30, 2014 Author Admin Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hey Guys, Thanks for the comments. Yes, that is the stock Commander 11-inch Mono Searchcoil, which is very deadly on the GPX 5000. Placer Chaser - Skunked? What is that .... LOL I will never get skunked going back to old patches, but will get skunked prospecting for new patches and locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
