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.

Minelab 35 Year Anniversary = Major Special Savings on the Manticore. ...and on the Equinox 900. Dealer Knowledge is a MUST. When it comes to Dealers, no other in US has successfully found gold nuggets with as big a variety of detector brands & or models. Below find from Idaho while Gerry using Manticore. He's since found even more. Below find in Oregon with Equinox 900 by Gerry. Why purchase a gold capable detector from those who don't do it or know it? Minelabs having a party & Gerry's Detectors is helping celebrate. Call Gerry 208-345-8898 (landline) for Major Special Savings. I think Minelab lost their marbles? You better take advantage of their craziness. No detectors ship until April 18th when officially starts. We'll be at Rye Patch, NV. offering 3 Days Field Training next week. Now is your chance to take advantage of both.

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.

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.

Gold just went over $2400 ounce and if your detector is not finding gold, maybe it's time to invest into Hands on Training. It sure is cheaper than trying to learn the rops on your own, I promise. I had a family of 5 pull out and so I have a couple openings not filled for this upcoming Field Training class at Rye Patch, NV. Starts Friday morning April 19th and ends Sunday late afternoon on 21st. Cost is $500 per person if you didn't purchase a detector from me. If you have 2 in your party, I'll make a special price for the pair, only $750. If you purchase a detector from Gerry's Detectors, then you earn a $150 discount and only pay $350 when you arrive. For those partners who don't want to attend and think sitting in the desert for 3 days is boring, there is plenty to do this time of year. Look for crystals, take pictures of wild flowers, chase rattle snakes and cute little horny toads, look for arrowheads and even meteorites. All have been found out there at Rye Patch. It's a 3 day camping trip with like minded people and we provide location and knowledge only. Contact Gerry's Detectors at 208-345-8898

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.

Rye Patch Still Offers Free Gym Membership!
Gerry in Idaho replied to LuckyLundy's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
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. -
Nevada Nugget Hunting With Garrett Axiom
Gerry in Idaho replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
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. -
Nevada Nugget Hunting With Garrett Axiom
Gerry in Idaho replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
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. -
Most interesting facts for me about the GB-2. Even though it's known for being the superior tiny gold getting VLF detector, especially when used with the smaller 6" coil, I was fortunate enough to score one of my best Oregon finds with one a few years back. Sometimes it's just getting in the right area and being the 1st to swing a coil over a rock that beeps.

The GB-2 has a Love it or Hate it relationship with many. It's my favorite VLF to train customers on as I can toss a small piece of gold in front of them and most newbies can't find it. After the 3 days Field Training, the customers are so in tune, they're loving it and finding gold. Gold only detector, for the masses I would much rather sell a GM-1000. For those few who want to Succeed much sooner and be dialed in with their detector, it was the GB-2. Now the Equinox 800/900 and 24K have taken over GB-2 sales for the most part as they can do more, tell you more and handle a variety of soils better than GB-2.

Gold Going Ballistic And I Love It!
Gerry in Idaho replied to jrbeatty's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Just imagine a new detector that would provide us the same success we had in the 90s with our SD-2100 or GP-Extreme. Those days were incredible, even here in the US.
