  1. 5 Hours today behind the Nuggetfinder 12. I had a chance to get out with this new coil. I like it . I can hunt longer and easier to swing on hillsides. Very good on small gold deep. Was lucky enough to find 21 nuggets. It has been a long time since I had a 21 nugget day so I am sold 100 %

  2. GB  I used the GPZ 7000. I run High Yeild , Normal, Max Sensitivity. Also i use NuggetBuster Headphones. I also use a lower pitch to try and get more of a high tone on Non Ferrous targets.This also seems to let the little nuggets come in and a large deep nuggets come in possibly as ground noise but i investigate all false signals because sometimes if you dig on them they turn out to be nice deep nuggets

    These are nuggets from Montana. The picture show all we found that weekend. Almost 8 ounces.

  3. I firmly believe the Nuggetfinder 16 round is the best coil anywhere. I tested it against the Commander 18 and found the NF better. I think coils can get too big and lose depth and just get coverage.  I bought a couple Coilteks and sold them right away. Take into account my type of soils vs Australian soil. Probably not as mineralized.

  4. Thanks to all. I installed the second update right away when it came out. For some reason with the new features turned off I just think it sounds different. Maybe it is just smoother audio. I am not questioning the awesome power at all. Just curious if anyone noticed. I might revert back to the 1st update to test. I am very picky about my sounds. Stuck in the snow for now. Probably overthinking it when I should be detecting.

  5. I have been a long time prospector for gold with a metal detector and have played with coins detecting in the past. This summer my brother sucked me back into coins and we hit some sites that should be great. We were both amazed at the lack of silver. We keep asking what the heck?

    Did the old coin machines suck up the easy silver or what?

    Not interested in new money at all, just old finds. Can this be explained as the obvious easy money was hit when detectors first came out and no real advances in technology have really overcome this? I have used the original Minelab explorer xs and the F75 and gold bug Pro. We have found some good coins but silver seems rare.

  6. Does anyone think about going back to the first firmware update for the GPZ?

    Has anyone felt the audio is different and better results were had with the first update?

    The upgrade works good but I can't seem to get the audio where it used to be even though I wrote the exact settings down.

    Just curious if someone out there experienced the same thing. No problems finding gold, just doesn't sound right.
