pondmn Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Gary you need to go back to your old detector or trade Gerry for his MXT. He's giving you Minelab a bad name with his MXT Just kidding Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onion gold Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Grubstake, do you know how deep these pieces were? I have used a MXT and didn't have any luck.Onion Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 They wern't very deep, he got them all right in the stream bed. One of them he did not even detect, just crevised and got it. but the others were right in the dry stream bed. I dug lots of ball rounds, 36 caliber, 22 rounds, square nails, and just plain junk, some down 2 ft. Its not the detector, if it goes over it it will get it with out a dought. The coil just has to getr lucky and pass over a chunk. Grubstake PS, I put the SKUNK in a burlap bag! And I'm giving it to SHEP on SAT. As a Christmas present!

onion gold Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Grubstake, we all get a piece of humble pie from time to time. Just makes us appreciate the next nugget even more. Onion Gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Grubstake . Don't despair. Many top nuggetshooters had a slump when first switching from an SD to a GP. It takes your mind a few days to switch languages and get the confidence up. The longest skunk I can remember having was when I went from an Sd 2100 to the Extreme. Within 2 weeks the old SD went up for sale. The skunk ended with 6 ounces in one day and I've never looked back.----Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I don't mind, I don't think I have been missing targets, I got about 4 pounds of mostly lead rounds in two days. this place has never been detected, it has been in a family that runs cattle for over a hundred years, and there not into detecting. 4000 ac.s is a lot of ground and they worked it back in 1849- it was part of the original Fremont land grant, and there was miners and cabins all over this place, the chimnees still staning on some. I am pretty sure if I get over gold, I'm going to getr it. I just haven't passed the coil over any yet. BUT I WILL> Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
