Remember that when you buy bullion, most companies will make you pay a premium on top of the gold price.

The small nuggets I find I can and do sell for $80.00 a gram. As they get bigger and dont have much character then I still get $80.00 a gram. If they have character, maybe some quartz and character I get $100.00 a gram. If they are crystalline gold then I get $110.00 a gram. Goldnuggetsforsale.com has a very good resource for grading your gold nuggets and specimens. Learn your gold, learn as you go on how to grade it and don't back down on your prices. There are a lot of people out there that won't screw you over if you show you are educated on your nuggets, natural gold values and stand your ground.

Here is my newest video. I got bit by something very nasty. Watch through to the end, good video, nice gold, pain and trauma. 🤣

Glad you are making the plunge. It's a big undertaking isn't it. Putting it together can be simplfied in Quark Express or InDesign. Congratulations Lanny.

I never take the front settings off of deep. Ever! I mostly run in sharp or sensitive extra depending on the terrain. Occasionally I will run in fine gold timing. The only settings I will change are timing occasionally and gain/stabilizer that's it. It is super simple and it works on every size of gold. I also have my audio permanently on deep as well. I'm hitting on .6 of a grain dinks just fine and I am able to hit .6 grammers deep as well. Im consistently hitting deeper gold now with my 5000 than ever before even with the 6000. My 3 gram conflake nugget was 17" down and sounded like a 30 caliber rifle bullet sitting on the surface. No joke. Even my 1.58 gram nugget was 17" down in hard pack and caliche.

I am searching mostly steeper slopes the last few weeks so I need to sell this. This coil will go deep but my shoulder from an old injury is acting up and I am looking to replace it with a lighter coil to use on steeper slopes, such as a 19" Evo. Selling for $425 or will trade for 19" Evo. Reese 1 (406) 309-1009.

No worries, I went back to read through all the posts and it clearly looked like it was directed at wrong person. Alls good. 👍

Hardpack, you have someone elses post mixed up with me it looks like.

Hardpack, I don't know what you are talking about! X-ray glasses, dowsing rods? NO!!!, those WON'T be in my next book. I don't know if you are trying to be funny or not. If you are hahaha 🤣🤣🤣 if you are being serious don't start false rumors if you don't know what you are talking about.

Yes thats the one.

I personally think it is a huge mistake to do away with both the Gpx5000 & Gpx4500.

Clay diggins, I am happy to hear you talking about mass wasting and the importance and relationship to gold deposits. Everything I do with detecting for gold revolves around mass wasting and utilizing this natural event to put myself onto gold deposits. My book has a chapter on mass wasting and my next book will also be heavily involved with mass wasting. It is a major concept and truth for every gold nugget hunter to learn.

Reese Townes, The author of The Nugget Shooter's Field Guide and YouTube Creator (Gold Seeker Adventures) will again be at the Quartzite Gold Show, sharing a booth with Dr. Erik Melchiorre. Stop on down and get a book and meet him. I am presently in Quartzite hunting gold. I have found a patch and will be working this patch until the show. Show dates: February 10-12

I haven't been on here in a little while. I got talked into leaving Meadview and Gold Basin for Franconia Wash area by Havasu City. This area is far worse off than Gold Basin and Meadview for hitting on gold. My first week there was a solid skunk. Just 50 cal. and 30 cal. bullets. I had a trainee come down for some training and I took him out to show him what I do at times to get onto gold. I led him out into an area that was heavy on my mind every day when I got back to camp and we stopped to give an area a swing. My hunch payed off as I found us a patch of nuggets. Video of that hunt will be in the works a few weeks away. We went back the next day and only one nugget was found a little ways away from the patch. The next day after we hit a wider area and couldn't get onto any other gold and then I went up a short feeder wash and found another patch with my Gpx5000. I had my trainee (Gold Dozer) come in with his 6000 and showed him how I work a spot like that with a dig and detect operation. I had pulled 3 nuggets out of this wash and he got 2 nuggets. It was a great time. We had three F-35's fly over us at very low altitude and that was way cool. The next day an F-18 Hornet flew over at very low altitude for another spectacular show of fighter jets. My time here is done and tomorrow morning I am pulling out and heading down to Quartzite to detect there until the Gold Show. I will have a table at the show again and possibly will be sharing a booth with Dr. Eric Melchiorre - Geologist, again. We will see what gold I can squeak out of the ground there. Jan 1, just before we headed out for Gold Dozers second day of training, I had gotten a call that my father had passed away at 10:27 that morning. It was not good news right before training. If anyone is down in Quartzite and wants to say hello at the Gold Show or before get ahold of me. It was good to get out and do some detecting with BMC as well. He is in the picture with Goldie the Roadrunner.

Oh yes. I have gotten myself in cholla alot and these boots totally protect the soles and uppers. They are a very well made boot. I highly recommend these boots for detecting.
