GPX 4500 + 12" Evo Maiden Run

[bado1]

Purchased a GPX- 4500 package and an additional 12" round NF Evolution coil from Chris at AZO and took it for it's maiden run today. It was toasty in Central AZ today but I just had to give the new set up a go for a few hours. Not a bad first run... scored three little nugs.

 

Totally HOT set up.

Nice nuggets !!   

That's the kind of thing you always hope for, first time out with a new detector....

Thanks, Luke!

I know that you will do the same with your HOT SDC!  

Hopefully, we can get together and hunt some up soon.

Great combo !

LukeJ,

I was missing the SDC yesterday after an hour or so of pushing the 12" coil through the clumps of grass. Maneuvering the 8" SDC coil in and around and under stuff is much easier on the arm. Definitely gonna have to get a smaller coil like the 8" for the GPX. The SDC is much more immune to hot rocks as well. I didn't realize how many there were on this patch until yesterday!

That's a great first run!  I hope I do half that good when I finally get out to the field in a few weeks.

Thanks, Roughwater. 

Good luck out there!

 You can barrow my 7000 for a week or so and get your arm in shape. That would make your 4500 feel like a Gold bug. It's too bad the Arizona heat melted that nugget into three pieces.

 Point made, Klunker! I'll stop complaining!! 

What week can I borrow your 7000? I've got some time off over the week of the 4th. Are you guys burning up over there?

Great first outing Dean! The GPX 4500 is a real bang for the buck machine for sure.
