Cowkiller Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I have been hitting a new area for the last few months and just knew there was gold there... Well skunk after skunk I decided that this place only has one nugget... The one I lost last week. Well I go to some new ground in an old area, a system that has been worked by the old timers they filled it with trash and left some gold. I dug about a thousand boot tracks and old wire coils from brushes assume and a few nuggets. The first one found was the nugget with the arm then a .75 g sunbaker! The two biggest bits are the same weight at 1.25 grams each. Total weight is 8.72 grams my best day in a very long time. Also thank you Rob for your consistent great service. The new control box and coil covers are on and look good. Edited January 6, 2018 by Cowkiller 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom you're right this side of the ground makes every day that much better! Walker yup they are pretty small.... The 7k found them alright..... Found them before the nugget they were right next to.

Admin nuggethunting Posted January 7, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hey Guys, The GPZ is amazingly sensitive to small gold. I just conducted some training today with couple of guys from North Dakota. They both purchased GPZ's from us. I laid down a small, under 1 grain nugget on the bedrock so they could see how sensitive the unit really is. They were just amazed and even thought I was pulling their leg, so they moved the small nugget to another section of bedrock, scanned over it and BANG! I think the most amazing thing is not so much the technology of the GPZ, but the sensitive of the 14x13 Super DD coil. I would expect this from maybe a tiny small Mono, but a DD.

Walker Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Oh you edited your picture and now the two little fly poops are missing. Did you throw them out so they would grow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowkiller Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Walker check the quarter. Rob it is pretty awesome. Lately I have been running the sensitivity at 3 or 4 and still find the tiny stuff. I still wish for a 8 by 6 in coil for it tho.....

Gravelwasher Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Nice batch of gold!! You got that Z figured out and dialed perfectly from the looks of it. Congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowkiller Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Gravelwasher I wouldn't say that. I got pretty lucky with this spot. Many of the nugget were screaming at me along with the thousand pieces of trash I dug. Next time I go to this wash will be the real test on the detector! I'm excited to get back.

Cowkiller Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I got back to this wash. Did pretty good again. Pulled this 4.5 gram slug. Total for this trashy wash now is just over .6 Troy and a pretty cool old pick. I also found my first gold coin.........? But it's only worth 1 dollar dang sacagawea how did she get there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Tom Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Justin, that coin has got to be worth more than one dollar. I'll give you two dollars for it. Old Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowkiller Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Two blue dews and change! Now I feel I got the short end of the stick ?. I sure played my cards wrong! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyy Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Funny, CK. I get the same blue dew .. Sometimes the gold we find with the GPZ is so small, it barely covers the cost of the dew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
