Tortuga Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Finally got out to detect the other day after taking a break since January. I even had my GPZ 7000 for sale at one point a couple months ago. After a few buyers flaked out on sending payment I got a little frustrated and ended up keeping it. Found a little half grammer a couple inches deep down in the red clay. I clearly remember detecting the exact same area last year just a few feet away. Goes to show you never know what you'll find under the next swing. Weather was great that day too. Love this beautiful area in southeast Arizona. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 They aren't biting right now, not like in the summer. The grass is still really bad, but I just put a little OFF! spray on my legs and boots and didn't get a single bite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortuga Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Yes I do like the humm of the GPZ. A friend brought out a Gold Monster the other day and just seemed so unstable. Beeps and targets everywhere. I do prefer the PI/ZVT style of detecting, just listening for the little changes in the threshold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted November 12, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hey Tortuga, Congrats! What about the recent ones from Bill's outing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Here ya go Rob, with a couple other pics I took. Nuggets were hard earned, little over a gram total. Wash had been detected hard by a couple skilled detectorists with a GPX and a Gold Bug 2. Were classic GPZ nuggets, small, deep and in difficult ground. Outing was a lot of fun but damn do I hate those crappy roads out there at LSD ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted November 20, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hey Tortuga, Ya, those are classic GPZ nugs. No question the GPZ can find them little buggers deeper than the GPX or any other detector. That being said, I can also say they find the much larger nuggets that others technologies have missed. P.S. What about the most recent additions? Stop holding out .... hehe ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
