The King Of Detectors Has Spoken

Great hunting, now all you have to do is to repeat that about 10 more times to pay for the detector.

Good luck on your next hunt.

If I was wanting to pay for it, probably only 5 more times and those beauties would have it paid.

Truth with me be told, I'm more of "all about the trip", adventure, the food/people, comradery.  The gold is a bonus.

Great results Gerry! Though truth with me be told, it’s all about the gold. The other stuffs a bonus, that I can generally get better other places in my life. :smile:

When people say the gold does not matter, I ask, “why not go detect for copper nuggets.” Or coins in the park? You can get all the same adventure, camraderie, etc. doing many things. No, me, I like finding gold, plain and simple. It can be gold jewelry, that’s fine, but gold is what I like to hunt, and nothing else really floats my boat like digging a gold nugget of any size. If it’s by myself eating beans from a can, I’m loving it. Camraderie, good food, no gold… that sucks! :laugh:

I don’t know why, but I had a mental image of Golem saying “my precious” while reading your reply, Steve. 😉 But one look at Gerry’s shiny little hoard there and “why” becomes perfectly clear!  I’d feel the same way digging up one of those!  😄

There is nothing quite like finding a nugget ... of any size!

Ok Steve,   You do bring up a great point about detecting for gold.   Yes I hunt a variety of MDing styles and gold is one of my favorites.   Part of the reason I didn't mention, it's the challenge.  Finding gold nuggets with a metal detector is some of the hardest of metal detecting.  Chasing coins in a park and relics in a field is easy to me, and just not as challenging.  That's part of the reason I mentioned the comradory, food/friends.  Those rare occasions we all find gold in the isolate desert just makes that can of beans (better have bacon 🥓 in it)  taste so much better.

Hey Gerry,

    I have to give you all the credit in the world, you are the furthest from a "armchair" dealer for sure.  You are out promoting and using the Minelab GPX 6000 to it's fullest potential.  Congrats on the success at Rye Patch, some beautiful gold for sure.
