monsterguppy Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Been using a minelabs eurka gold for a little over a year now and decided to upgrade to a gpx 5000 from Rob a little over a month ago. I,m just now getting the hang of adjusting out the EMI and will be taking Rob,s class this fall when the weather cools down. Spent yesterday out at one of the club claims I belong to out in Randsberg getting the gpx 5000 dialed in fo the location=lots of EMI, the claim is between 4 military bases. After detecting for around 6 hours or so digging the usual trash I decided to call it a day and started walking back to the truck. I was swinging the detector like I was swatting flies up a small wash when I got a hit, thinking it was going to be another bullet, boot tack, or nail I got the target in my scoop and finished walking back to my truck. Once I found the .3 tenths of a gram you would have guessed I found a gold brick I was so happy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterguppy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thx all for the well wishs everyone, Ugbomb only advise I can give is to dig all targets, think outside the box if your working club claims, and keep swinging low and slow. Hears a little nugget porn found while drywashing in the same randsberg area by someone else with a gpx4000. 3 ounces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
