Makro Gold Racer Gets A Run, Finally


Recommended Posts

It was an incredible long weekend!

The gold to the right, was found with the Gold Bug Pro and the Minelab 5000. (I can't underestimate the value of a one-two punch with a high-quality VLF followed up with the technology of a supreme PI!

I will say that the small sniper coil is not good for any depth (and that's not what it's designed for either), but it's super-hot on shallow gold, especially the small stuff (that is why I bought it); moreover, it loves to sound off on the chunky stuff too!

So, the story will have to follow when I find the time as this is a busy gold-getting opportunity now that the weather's nice, but it was an incredible weekend hunt with lots of nuggets recovered, but perhaps the best (as far as the little sniper coil for the Gold Racer goes), I was able to capture well over thirty grams of small gold. The Gold Racer has turned out to be a sound investment indeed as has the little coil. (The detector has paid for itself many times already after only a few hunts, and the little coil paid for itself in the first hour.)

All the best,

Lanny

Wow. that is an awesome weekend for sure Lanny! Makes me wonder why I was doing yard work! :laugh:

Thanks Steve. Lots of fun, and I had my family with me as well which made the weekend that much more enjoyable.

All the best,

What a stellar weekend! very impressive.  I like you gave multiple detector runs in the same area, it's becoming increasingly clear to me this can pay off.

 

Thanks for dropping in, and as for making multiple runs with different detectors, I have no doubts anymore but that it's a sound strategy, truly.

All the best,

Lanny
