Admin nuggethunting Posted August 7, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hey Mhlak, Congrats on finding a new patch! Very nice nuggets you're finding. Are they from Arizona, California, Nevada? Hope to hear more about your new find. Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver dog doug Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Great looking Gold , I can't wait to find my first nugget using the 4500. I think that I would go back and try the patch one more time. Find some more and feel good. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhlak Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Here is the first batch of gold found at my new patch with a GP3000Rob it is alaska by the way. maybe you can answer a question. About 200 yards away from this patch there is anotherbut the bedrock is so hot I cannot tune it out using a DD coil any suggestions?I did manage to find a 1/2 oz. nugget at the edge of the hot bedrock area so I know there is more there.

Admin nuggethunting Posted August 8, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hey Mhlak, You're probably detecting on top of some of that Graphite type bedrock, that is very hot in Alaska. I've never personally seen it, but have heard of many nuggetshooters talking about it. Have you tried using the "Auto Tracking" with the DD coil at this location? Talk with you soon,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhlak Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Rob yes and it still sounds like a nugget every square foot. does the new advantage coils help with this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted August 9, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hello Mhlak, Ya, sounds like it's a very mineralized location. You might just have to deal with the ground noise and raise your searchcoil off the ground a few inches. You might miss some small ones, but this will still allow you to hear the larger ones at depth and elliminate most of the mineralization. I seriously doubt any DD will work there regardless of the brand. If one don't work, then another DD wouldn't make any difference. If you have a larger DD coil, you might try it. A larger DD will not be as sensitive as a small one, so a small DD might allow you to hear more ground mineralization. Have you tried playing with some of the settings on the GP? Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggetslayer Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 What if he put his machine in cancel with a dd coil? I know that is more or less for the em's but would it knock enough off for him to be able to get those larger shallow ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhlak Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I have never used cancel, I tend to be a creature of habit, so what does it do on hot bed rock?my gold patch is 120 miles from Fairbanks so it's not easy to go out and test settings on location.Thanks for your input.
