Admin nuggethunting Posted November 23, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hello All, There is always debate about detectors and what is better, so here is a picture of two short trips back in September of 2015. This is an area myself and 3 buddies discovered and pounded the hell out of. It produced a bunch of gold, most was shedding off a quartz ledge (at least be believe). We actually found the area with GP & GPX units with 14x9's and 17x13 inch elliptical coils. When the GPZ was released, this was one of the spots I wanted to revisit right away due to the characteristics of the gold. Majority of the gold was really rough, some contained ironstone and quartz. Two trips almost an ounce of the good stuff with the GPZ. I didn't have much experience on the unit at that time, but did revisit the area several more times and found many Grams of gold missed at depth. Both units are great, but I love the GPZ 7000.

oldies1955 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Boy, your not kidding its rough! Nice gold for sure. Get the shovel out. Bet you could drywash some nice gold in that area. Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyy Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice gold, Rob. I recently got a GPZ and went to a pounded out wash. Every coil I had, had been over that wash. But the GPZ found 4 pieces right in a row. It was a very surreal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted November 24, 2016 Author Admin Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hey Andy, Right on. Just goes to show it will find more gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I believe the coil field of the GPZ is also a greater help. The monos go to darn near a point but the GPZ is documented showing that it does not lose much diameter even at full depth. Downside is you really want to keep all metal to a minimum, now. I could get away with some stuff on the GPX but the GPZ is just far too sensitive. Where you carry any pinpointers, guns, gps can and will have an effect on hearing the small or deep stuff.
