Steve Herschbach 12,929 Posted March 30, 2017 New Treasure Talk blog at http://www.minelab.com/anz/go-minelabbing/treasure-talk/gpz-19-compared-to-gpz-14-nugget-dig "The nugget was recovered at 22+ inches depth, weighed in at touch over 26-grams and was a beautiful water-worn crystalline “Herring Bone” nugget. A few days after Christmas I returned to the location and scored a fantastic 30-gram piece right out in the open with dig holes all around. I know for a fact that I have had my GPZ 14 coil over this exact ground, and only very recently. The signal was a real eye popper and what I would call an easy “dig me” response; more proof the GPZ 19 coil is providing an ‘edge’ over the GPZ 14 when the gold is present. On New Year’s Day I returned in 40 degree Celsius temperature and ‘nailed’ a solid little 12-gram slug at reasonable depth, taking my total for 12 hours detecting at this location to a tad over 2-ounces!"

Guest Jennifer Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks Steve... AWESOME video.. great to see JP back out there... I've missed seeing him working a machine... hopefully he starts doing more... Jen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 846 Posted March 30, 2017 Steve & JP Thanks you Steve for posting it and JP for making the video. Everyday we turn around the GPZ with the 19" coil is making history. For all the other detectors I could have had a GPZ but for me it's not so much cost but the weight. Oh well my Birthday is coming up in May and I'm sure my wife will get it for me.ha Chuck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davsgold 190 Posted March 30, 2017 I watched the video yesterday, great work JP, and it was an excellent comparison between the two coils and different settings, "General Difficult" is the way to go with the big coil. Thanks for taking the time to video and compare. cheers dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,233 Posted March 30, 2017 where would Minelab be and where would most of us be without Jonathan Porter? Three cheers for JP...hip hip hurrah ...and so on... Seriously, if anyone can wring a little extra from his detector it is the Man from Queensland. Norm was unkind enough to loan me his 19 for a while. I didn't realize what a wimp I have become...that swing arm and coil nearly killed me...I need some strength training or maybe drywall to hang... I would adapt if I knew there was one lunker waiting... fred 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jennifer Posted March 30, 2017 Sheeeesh, video's like this make me want to run out and pickup a 7000 after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flakmagnet 378 Posted March 30, 2017 Yet another video showing not only the power of the GPZ with the 19" coil, but the thoroughness and the expertise that JP brings to the detecting community. It's easy to forget that the time and energy JP invests in these videos are essentially gifts to all of us. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike54 139 Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks Steve & JP, for sharing this vid, it was a great dig for you JP and thanks for the comparison between the 14" & 19" coils it was an eye opener to see the difference between the two coils. . A big congrats to you JP for your nice find and a very nice Christmas present as well. Cheers. Mike. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
