Gerry in Idaho

Still time to take advantage of the Super Anniversary sale on the Manticore & Equinox 900. I just returned from the 3 Days Field Training and the Manticore really impressed us with the small M8 coil and the tiny gold nuggets we were able to recover with it. I'll post picks in a few days when I get caught up. We had some happy customers who were able to recover their 1st gold with a detector and the Manticore shined through.

That's right my friend. No Sales Tax outside of Idaho and you know me. As a proud USMC Veteran, I do offer of the 15% Military Discount with proper documentation to all who have served.

I'm out of M15 coils but can still get folks the M8 coil with their Manticore.

April 18th Australia time (about 7 hrs ago) when we could start posting prices. We were allowed to post the Teaser 14th. How come you have not called me yet and purchased one?

May 5th my friend. I already have a couple guys who put $300 down and promised the rest when they get their tax return in the next 30 days.

Minelab Manticore Only $1199, not an April Fools joke. Minelab Equinox 900 with 2 coils only $999. Yes I have a few M8 and M15 coils left. Call Gerry's Detector now at 208-345-8898. Why you evening looking at Mail Order & Amazon dealers who don't actually use these detectors for a variety of hunts and has Success? But some of you will and that's ok as it leaves much more treasure for those of us who know how to properly use these detectors. Call Gerry's Detectors 208-345-8898 now and get them ordered. I already know a few places have run out. As you can see from my Success, I use the Manticore for a variety of detecting styles and hunts. I can help you learn the detector sooner and hopefully shine with some wonderful Treasures of your own.

I don't have an XRF analyzer. I have seen some similar in a certain area in California that's very close to Reno. Also, some Chevron pattern gold has come from Venezuela and it's spectacular as well. Yes it would be interesting to learn how these rare pieces of art actually form.

Just amazing

The most amazing one I seen from RP was a 1 ozt. Stood about 1.5" tall and was a triangle with 3 sides and a bottom. Most amazing chevron on all 3 sides. The finding was an old friend from Reno area that used to stay down there weeks at a time in the 90's. The amazing piece in the pic below was recovered by one of my Field Staff just a few miles down the road. Beautiful gold has come from that country for sure. This is a pic looking from top of the rock, notice the hole. Pic below is the bottom of the same nugget. Most interesting, there is a hole right in the middle that goes all the way through. Left is 1.5 ozt and the right one is 1/2 ozt. Glad you enjoy seeing something different.

What is worse my friend, snakes or... big hairy spiders? Rye Patch has both.

Lunk some of our previous customers were out there the last couple days and each found a few. Rob scored 3 with his Garrett Axiom and DD coil. Looking forward to another great group of people.

One of the hardest things to do at Rye Patch NV proper, is to find a specimen gold piece attached to quartz. Not sure how many of my Rye Patch NV swinging buddies are left from the mid 90's but we all have agreed on a couple things when it comes to gold at RP. Chevron gold is the most desired and valuable. There have been some amazing high dollar pieces discovered at the patch. Specimen gold on the other hand (gold and quartz mixed) is most rare to find at Rye Patch than many realize, why is that? I personally have found thousands of nuggets and have seen 10X dug up from all the local legends back then. But to see a piece of gold with quarts on it that came from RP, just does not seem to happen. There's big quartz boulders and quartz pockets scattered all over that area. Heck, one of the locals (Peg-Leg) used to dig out some of the pockets to discover massive beautiful clusters and even single solid monster crystals, but he never found any with gold. This is the largest specimen I have ever seen from Rye Patch proper and it was found in 2005/6 by one of my customers (Scott from Idaho) with a GP-3500 right near the burn barrel. As for me and all the thousands of nuggets I've collected in my 30 yrs of detecting RP, I have only found 2 small nuggets in the 2 to 3 gram range that had a piece of quartz attached. Anyone else seen specimen gold come from Rye Patch? Do any of you geology experts know why we are not seeing it happen more often, especially with all the quartz rocks and crystal pockets that are exposed out there? On a side note - My 1st of 2024 Rye Patch Field Training is coming up next weekend. Anyone wanting to learn some real hands on Field Knowledge and up your chances of finding that beautiful and expensive rare gold, contact Gerry's Detectors at 208-345-8898 for details.

Glad to see some more Au bits coming from Rye Patch. Yes, a group of my previous customers were out there and I think they all found a few. I'll be offering our 1st of 2024 the group 3 Days Field Training next weekend so we should hopefuly get a little dryer weather and my Field Staff/I will be sharing knowledge on gold capable detectors. If you get the chance, swing by and show of some of your Au. Nice finds Lundy.

You find your biggest and best nugget of your metal detecting career and are so emotionless, it's kind of funny. I personally know so many folks who hunt gold and have yet to find a 3 gram nugget, let alone an 1/8th oz'er. Well done my friend but hopefully you'll get a little more excited next time. Now I realize you have dug more gold rings and gold coins than most could image as well, so maybe the big excitement of a nugget is not as meaningful? Here's a fact for you, that size nugget is way more rare than a gold ring or even a gold coin find. Still very impressive for you Andy and thanks for the video.

Glad to see you enjoying the Axiom and finding some nice gold. Is that your best piece so far Andy? For those who don't know, he's been chasing old coins/relics/rings for many years, but the pursuit of gold nuggets is pretty new (the last few years) to Andy. Well done my friend.
