Gerry in Idaho

Such a beauty Norvic.  Is the stone attached magnetic at all to a rare earth super magnet?

Great info guys.  Minelab has even sent a couple CTX-3030 batteries to one of my customers who had an issue with his.  Hopefully they have the accessories for us to sell soon.  I have done a few 8 hour day hunts and my battery on the GPZ-7000 completed the day with no problems.

I figured you would have it out in no time up there in Idaho.

Great to know your summer will be welcoming more gold from the same old spots.

The GPZ-7000 can do some amazing things and you know how to make it sing.

My customers wanted to thank you, Ron, Scott, Mark for the outstanding training at Rye Patch.

I'll do another 3 day class end of May.

Strick,  Glad you allowed my staff and I the pleasure of training Lisa.  The GB-2 can be a frustrating VLF gold detector for those who don't understand manual ground balance.  With proper training or many many trips and trial, you can learn it and do ver well.  I'll try to get some photos on here of Lisa and her gold.

Great to see you again.

Jason,  Good to see you starting to get the feel of the GPZ.  It is totally different technology than the GPX and guys like you who were very well at home with w GPX in hand need to spend some time learning the new beast and its functions/features.  I like how you are trying different settings, as that is what will help you get the most out of the machine.  The manual is just a guide to get folks started and then from there the fine tuning (if needed) is up to you.

The reason there are not more controls and settings is because most folks wanted a more user friendly detector.  The GPX-5000 has way more settings than most people like and that is why some of the guys still keep their GP-3000's.  Its all in what you prefer and can afford. Thanks for the comments, settings and info for others.  Well Done.
