I do not know where I stand as far as getting mine from the second shipment but I hope that I do. If I am I will drive 200 miles to Boise and pick it up, spend the night in Boise and try the machine out on the way home. If I am part of the 3rd shipment I will most likely be back to work and not make the trip. Maybe just wishful thinking. We'll see.......

I Don't quit understand the why General Motors manual. Joke??

Well Gerry, I ordered one because you would never steer me in the wrong direction.

This is starting to sound like someone who thinks everyone at a birthday party should get a birthday gift, I pre-paid because I had the money to spend at the time, not to be first in line or anything like that. I hope to get mine this month. If I do then I do, if not, well I will get it when I get a call from my dealer(Gerry). and I am OK with that. My hat is off to Minelab for their marketing strategy. That is my 2 cents worth.....IdahoAl

I would buy one for sure......

Hello All, I do not use the supplied headphones, most of the time I rely on the speaker however when I do use headphones they are Sun Ray Gold, Adapters from 1/8" to 1/4 are not expensive and can be purchased online at ebay or Amazon , I got mine at Radio Shack. I think Sun Ray is also made by J. Smith in Al.- correct me if I am wrong about that Gerry.....

Hey Gerry my wife got a big laugh from your post, the pissing and the nickel parts.

I have no detecting partner, but thanks for the Post Gerry.

Happy and safe New Year to you and yours Gerry

HEY GERRY, I HAVE A BINDER THAT IS LOADED WITH ARTICLES FROM PROSPECTING/MINING TYPE MAGAZINES POSTED BY YOU, STEVE, ROB FROM ROBS DETECTORS AND OTHERS. THIS ARTICLE IS THE FIRST PAGES IN THE BINDER..THANKS FOR EVERTHING..IdahoAl

Thank you Steve for the good info.. Outstanding write up.....Idaho al

Hello All, Not much interested in another detector but it is ALWAYS good to hear from JP!!

Hi Idaho Peg, Idaho Al here. I also picked up my GM 1000 from Gerry last Friday but have not used it yet. I loved my GB 2 but I wanted something I could hand to one of my grandchildren with out to much of a learning curve so I traded my GB 2 in on the Monster............ Sweet sorrow. Love your Post. Happy Hunting.........

Question ...Is the Z - Link compatible with the Minelab SDC 2300 without spending $100 for a adapter cable??? Thanks for any info on this. IdahoAl

Good Day All, I had extra shafts, upper and lower for my 4500 and they work great and are adjustable and no extra cost. I did not drill out the hole on the lower shaft just turned it in like if it had threads-did not hurt the threads.....IdahoAl

To quote my dealer, "Patience Grasshopper, when the time is right the Monster will arrive".

Thanks for the great review. Can't wait to get my hands on one for searching dredge tailings here where I live in Idaho..

I recently purchased a SDC2300 and my wife ask," when will you have enough?" My replay,"after the next one".......Idaho Al

Hey John, I am not Gerry but I can tell that it is a Apex Pick. Made in Idaho.... USA.......Idaho Al

Gerry Thanks for posting, I have found some iron/gold while working concentrates from Lemhi county but it was real small stuff. By the way Gerry I plan on hitting dredge tailing piles up Yankee Fork with my NEW SDC 2300 this weekend ..Thanks to you......Idaho Al

Very cool..........

I'm with Flakmagnet...filed for use if I am ever able to get a ZED..........

Amen to that...............

Chris thanks for the post and info...I wonder if a Garrett ATX would see them??
