Azavsfan Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Never get tired of looking at that stuff. Thanks for sharing and great job. I love my SDC but if the price were to drop on that Z I may have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted April 12, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hey Goldstudmuffin, Very impressive finds for hammered patches. No question, the GPZ 7000 is finding more gold than before. For years I would re-visit old patches with new Minelab's and be lucky to find 2-3 nuggets from old patches. I'm now finding on average 4-5 if not more and I already cherry picked most of the small deep gold on these patches with the SDC 2300. My numbers would probably be 10-15 nuggets from the patches if I didn't hit them already with the SDC. I scored a nice 8.1 Dwter today at depth with the GPZ 7000 in High Yield and Difficult. No questions I missed it with the SDC and GPX 5000 in the past. It was down around 15 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldstudmuffin Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks gentlemen,I've had a blast digging all these nuggets, the new detector and the exercise have really helped my health condition for now, I'm not sure how to get the exercise when the summer heat gets here.

That was near Gila City placer down by Yuma, never went back because I would have brought my AR-15 with me. We were only hunting at night because it was in the month of May and lot cooler at night.Hey Russ, Stay out of "Difficult" would ya .....

Russ forgot to ask, did ya sell the 3500 when ya got the 7000 ??No I really don't want to sell it, I've found to much gold with it, same with the 2100.
