PastorShep Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm new to the forums - just went out with "Shep", my brother, to Gold Basin and found a nice 6 pwt., 1/3 oz nugget the first day. I had a White's MXT but was using my new GPX5000 I got from Rob. The nugget was about 14" down and the target signal was real strong. Tom (shep) had been through that area so I thought that he had already cleaned it out of any gold; hence, I thought it was a big piece of trash. The Garretts pinpointer helped speed the recovery of targets all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swestgold Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cha-Ching, Nice, Would look great in a display case. Great thing about that specimen size or bigger they get way over the spot price when you sell them usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found my .6 gramer at about 6", with my 4500 and a coiltec 14" eliptical mono.Good luck, find a bunch more. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Darn nice chunk for a first nugget, but I am guessing your Bro is an excellent teacher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's not that I'm a good teacher, but he's a fast learner! He almost beat me with his 6dwt'r! The big ones are easy- just get the coil over it. Now he's gotta listen for the little guys!I got a 7dwt'r and 3 little guys and 6 meteorites (total weight 396 grams). The biggest is being slabbed at this time, for a necklace piece for my daughter.You did good bro!Shep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
