iggy Posted February 12, 2007 Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hey Steve, Thanks for returning my chap,now I have a pair again. I picked it up Sat. Also found a small nugget on the #4 push Take CareTerryGreat to hear you found a nugget with your 4000. I would have expected a picture but you know " you seen one nugget you seen them all" Not really but I thought I'd say it.See you soon. Iggy Quote
Admin nuggethunting Posted February 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hey Terry, Good to hear you got a nugget! Congrats!!! Any size to the gold nugget you found? Regarldess, a nugget is a nugget, and I'll take all the smaller ones I can find. Take care,Rob Allison Quote
DigAU Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hi Rob and Iggy My nugget was pretty small, like less than a 1/4 gram. If it had some size to it I would have posted a picture. But on the bright side, if I can hear a nugget that small, the bigger ones should be easy.Hope to see you soonTake CareTerry Quote
Admin nuggethunting Posted February 12, 2007 Admin Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hello Terry, You are very correct, if you can find the small ones the big ones will be found easily. However, keep in mind, a small or large nugget at depth will just be a slight whisper sound. For the most part on the pushes, the nuggets will be pretty much near the surface. Was that your first nugget? Rob Allison Quote
DigAU Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Hey Rob, No it wasn't my first nugget. That came about three weeks ago off the #5 push. The day it snowed in the valley I was on the hill. Pretty much had it all to myself. Guess I had paid my dues and the gold gods gave me another sub-gram nugget. I am very happy with the Minelab GPX 4000. If there aren't to many other machines around and you did all targets, It will find gold. But you already know that!! ThanksTake CareTerry Quote
Admin nuggethunting Posted February 13, 2007 Admin Report Posted February 13, 2007 Hello Terry, I have to tone down what I say about the GPX-4000. I guess I promote it too much and people don't like it. I find it to be the best hand-held metal detector for gold nuggets hands down. Use what works best for you, but I won't be using anything less than the GPX-4000 for now. Would love to see an American PI detector, but until then I will continue to use Minelab. Minelab Metal Detectors have allowed me to find several hundred ounces of placer gold nuggets over the last 10 years as a weekend warrior. I wouldn't have found the same amount of gold with any other detector. Thanks for your business and friendship. More nuggets are in your near future. Rob Allison Quote
