Ron (CA) Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Well I switched to SPECIAL so I could take advantage of the FINE Gold timings. I'm learning! I played around a bit with some of Pete's suggestions and checked a test nugget until I felt I was in pretty good shape. Took 10 steps and got a faint sounding hi-low and about 3 inches down out pops a 7.1 grain picker. A few hours later and several bullets later, I get a similar hit and out pops a 4.2 grain nugget.The 5000 is pretty sensitive to small gold with the 11" mono. I was pretty impressed! Everyone has told me that the place I am hunting is POUNDED so I am happy as I have pulled 6 pieces out of there so far. 20 grain nugget from last week.Thanks for the info guys!Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notoriouskelly Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Pretty durned cool, Ron! I switched to my mono round for awhile to try it out.Frank's 'Vampirus Nugatus' in a beaten area should give us all hope that there are sweet prizes still out there for the diligent.
