Popular Post cobill Posted October 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2019 I went to Rye Patch, NV last week and only had 9 hours of detecting with the GPX 5000. Got serious and followed some guidance from forum members and found 3 chevron nuggets (.6 gm, .3 gm and .3 gm) found 4" - 6" deep in heavily detected ground. Many thanks go out to Gerry with a great deal on the Minelab GPX 5000 and Rob's NF Evo 17 x 13 coil paired with the SteelPhase enhancer. Settings were: Gain 18 - 20, Deep, Sensitive Extra or Fine Gold, and a quiet Threshold so I could concentrate. Signals were obvious and clear, without the constant mineral & salt noise. I also have a GPZ 7000, but trusted the reliable GPX for this short trip. Bill 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry in Idaho Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Bill, Glad you are having a little success at Rye Patch with the GPX-5000 you purchased from me. Those are pretty nice pieces as 99% of the bigger gold has been found. The new Promotion of a free 19" coil with purchase of GPZ-7000 is a great time to call me again. I'm down here now with Chet, DiggerBob, Slowpoke, Dave, Matt and Rusty. Chet let me run the X coils today and I see pros/cons. We compared 5 targets today and my stock 7000 easily heard each signal. 4 of the 5 were gold nuggets. Again, glad you had some 5000 success and thanks for kind words and sharing the story with photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In winter, if ground is dry and frozen, I can still do OK. In the Spring when soil is saturated, my settings need to be dumbed down and it is almost impossible to get good depth. I prefer sawtooth or one of the many other areas in the Spring as I am crazing and covering ground. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
