Admin nuggethunting Posted March 12, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hello All, Just recently I received this email and picture from a friend/customer. The person owns a Minelab GPX-4000 metal detector. Thanks for getting back with me Rob. I know you will have the best package! I wish I had bought my last 2 Minelab detectors from you. I told you on the message that I found 3 nuggets and 1 specimen yesterday and I have attached a pic of them that I just took. My coil is on the detector out in the truck. I you would like, I will take a pic for you with the gold on the coiltek coil. The specimen weighs 24+ dwt with a lot of gold showing. The nuggets are 2.4, 1.0, and .5 dwt each. The 2.4 dwt piece is leaf gold that has been pounded into a triangular shape. Pretty neat, but hard to see from the pic. I have been to this spot in the past, but never found any gold. I was using the normal mode, but I had the gain turned down to 6 and was surprised. I will be back to this spot asap.Wishing you the best of luck out there and Thanks for sharing your finds!

Admin nuggethunting Posted March 13, 2008 Author Admin Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hello Guys, The finder didn't mentioned what coil he was using, but I can find out. Not real sure if the specimen is up for sale, but I would pretty much say he is smart enough not to crush it up. That is one beautiful quartz/gold specimen. Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted March 14, 2008 Author Admin Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello Guys, Got an update on what was being used by the customer/friend of mine. He was using the Coiltek 14-inch Mono Searchcoil on the GPX-4000. What a great combination. He also mentioned he has found some beautiful specimens with the Coiltek Wallaby DD Pro. I would agree with him, both the Coiltek 14-inch and Wallaby series are hot searchcoils. Coiltek sure makes quality products that I'm proud to own, operate and sell. This friend is excited about getting the new GPX-4500 and trying a new Coiltek Goldstalker Lightweight Mono Searchcoil. Thanks once again for sharing your finds and story with us.
