Admin nuggethunting Posted October 19, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hello All, A partner and I done some exploring Sunday morning on quads. This was my first outing with the new software updated loaded to the GPZ 7000. The first location we tried, the GPZ 7000 was really going nuts. I was really concerned the update screwed something up. I messed with it for about 15 minutes, but then realized after a friend said his GPX 5000 was so noisy, he couldn't hunt. There was some type of weird EMI going on. We ended up leaving this location and hunted several others. At the other locations the GPZ just purred along, pretty amazing. The unit seems more stable than before, but I did use the Ferrite Ring during the ground balance process. We ended up with 15 nuggets (9 of mine are displayed below). All found with the GPZ 7000. Nothing huge, but roughly 6 grams of gold out of a completely new area that shows future promise. It's out there ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted October 19, 2015 Author Admin Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hey Tom, Ya, the EMI was bad Sunday. My partner got so frustrated with the GPX 5000, he stopped detecting. He said it was bonging and beeping the entire time. The GPZ is a bit more immune to EMI, as I heard my partners GPX and it was going nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 When my detector seems to be acting up badly like that, I throw it hard to the ground or in a really prickly cat claw. Usually does the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Nice haul you got there. I hope to be on the gold again soon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
