5 Different States And 5 Kinds Of Gold

[Gerry in Idaho]

Last week I was training customers at Rye Patch so I missed out on the White's closing and all the comments, but I did make a little contribution (well deserved) in the White's Forum on DP. 

When I returned I was overwhelmed with many emails, texts and pics of my customers recent finds. One thing about the CV-19 is it allows you to get outside and away from others.

Also, what was interesting to me is the different kinds of gold and the states they came from.

Here are some pictures of my customers Success, the detectors they used and the states they recently found their gold.  Hats off to you all for allowing me to share your success.

This very interesting and highly collectible specimen piece was found in Idaho with an Equinox 800 (dang, how did I miss that one?)  Notice that is the stock 11" coil.

The next 2 pics were found in NV with the NOX and stock 11" coil

2 pics below of the same gold and were found in MT with EQ-800 and small 6" coil.

Nice solid pieces.

 

Then there is my customer in AZ with his GPZ-7000.  He has been doing really well this year with over a half pound.  The 3 pics are from 3 half day hunts in a row.  He ended up with about a half oz of gold.  He has a buddy come to visit and says I found some right here, why don't you head over there. 

The 3+ ouncer below was found by his buddy who came to visit.  Ouch, that must be one heck of a friend. 

Notice all those nuggets are pretty rough and have not traveled that far.  AZ still has good gold, just need to get a little farther away from the trails.

 

Last is gold from a state most of us to not get to see.  Wyoming is not known for gold nuggets, but I do have a few customers who do pretty well.

These pieces of gold are very solid and look to be hammered almost.  I'm no geologist but think maybe from glacial?

I also noticed the dirt coloration is different than most places I hunt and find gold  , but I don't hunt WY, yet anyway.

 

Part of the reason I enjoy gold is the natural and unique characters each piece and area provide.

Heck, there is a really ornate specimen, some nice jeweler nuggets and some really cool collector rocks with gold.  Even the big 3 ounce chunk is quite interesting as the source must be pretty close.

You have some very lucky customers and thanks for sharing the pics with us as I can only dream about finding something like that around this part of the country.

You don’t need luck when you’ve been trained by Gerry! 👍🏼

Most (not all) of my successful customers have purchased a few different gold detectors from me and been customers of mine for quite a few years.  As Steve mentioned, they also have taken the 3 day Field Training we offer.  Heck, there is a good % of guys on here who find gold and have taken our class.  I'll say "our class" as my Field Staff Experts have a big part of what makes our customers successful.

Another good point, is they have the right detector for the task and they are out there bustin their heels, swinging their coils and digging more lead and trash that most.  Yes there is luck involved, but persistence is a big part of it too.

Ill may not have nuggets, but you certainly have good old coins and some serious opportunities for the gold rings in the lakes.  As you know, it takes plenty of swinging to be good at those styles as well.

Thanks Steve for the suggestion.

You get out this way be sure to do it around one of the many training sessions we offer.  

You get over to MT and I have a Field Staff Expert there as well.

You get up to North Idaho, I have another Gold Detector Expert up there.

You get to Arizona this winter, yes I have it covered too.

We offer 1 day 1 on 1 and also the most popular is the 3 day group session as your memory retains much more.  Plus you witness a variety of detectors and see their strong/weak points.
