Equinox Specimen Gold A Gpz-7000 Can Miss

[Gerry in Idaho]

My little brother shared with me a couple recent finds over the weekend with his EQ-800 and stock 11" coil.

Smaller specimen is 48.5 grams and its bigger brother is a sly heavier at 53.5 grams.  Each piece probably has close to 8 to 12 grams of gold in them and in todays value approx. $300 to $500.   What is so cool about this style of gold, is a GPX-5000 will not see it.  In fact what further makes many minds wonder is why the GPZ-7000 misses many of them as well?  I've personally found larger pieces in the multi ounce range and they have over 1 ozt of gold in them, but I try my best to get a GP/GPZ or GPZ to read and I get nothing.  On occasion some are heard with a bigger machine, but then the VLF can see them 12" away.

Moral of the story?  Just owning a big dog detector for a variety of gold is a mistake and most owners don't know.  So you better own both to have all bases covered.

Gerry,

I have alluded to this invisible gold on other threads before.  I didn't tell people where I learned it or where I saw it but I said that a GPZ or any other PI doesn't see it all!

Did you make a video of this?

I teach it in our training classes with numerous pieces and kinds of gold.  So many folks feel their 1 high dollar detector does it all.  I've even argued with folks who felt I was trying to bash a GP/GPX/GPZ when in fact I own, use and sell them.

No video on all the knowledge my staff and I know.  It would be long and boring.

You read it on DP from a long time gold detectorist who has made many mistakes in years past and is still learning.

Hey Gerry, Looks like your little brother was born with gold in his mouth as well. Now where have I seen a similar photo???? Nice finds. 👍

Good luck out there

We kind of started the gold in mouth pics back in the mid 90's with a few customers and it just took off.  Here is a really nice specimen I recovered before the 5000's.  I think around 2010...it was a choker.

A de-tuned garage door opener would have no trouble finding a lump that size lol.

If I put one of my nugget finds in my mouth I'd likely accidentally swallow it by breathing in.

 

 

 

Many years ago I used to commercial fish in Alaska... early one morning I go out on the deck and I find my boss mashing something on the gunwale over the side of the boat...What the heck are you doing I asked ?..... Ummm I think I swallowed my gold tooth lol

Strick, I would have never imagined you on a boat with a bunch of thieves and outcasts.  You probably had a beard too right?  What changed you to the man you are today?
