Admin nuggethunting Posted May 6, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hello All, Leaverite and I have been doing some exploring and found a few areas that are loaded with smaller gold. The biggest nuggets that I have found in this general area have been around 1/4 ounce, but a lot of smaller gold nuggets, fines and flakes. These spots have never been worked by the old-timers, they must have figured they were too unecomonic back then. After about 4 hours of hunting we recovered the nuggets on the searchcoil below. All nuggets were found with the Minelab GPX-4000's and Coiltek Joey Mono Searchcoils. Probably the best combination of detector/coil available for smaller gold nuggets. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted May 8, 2007 Author Admin Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hello Guys, It's always fun to find the bigger nuggets, but I will take all the small ones I can find. The GPX-4000 is amazing on smaller gold at depth. I can honestly say the GPX-4000 is the smoothest metal detector I have owned and operated. Minelab continues to build the best "deep seeking" metal detectors in my opinion. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
