Way to go that's a beautiful nugget! strick

What we all dream about...thanks for posting strick

The Black box (made by Victor) http://www.victorpest.com/store/mole-and-gopher-control/b0625-3 is the best trap that I have found that you can buy locally at Home depot or Lowes. Even then it's hard to keep up with all the gophers on my measly little acre of land. You kill one and five come to the funeral... strick

Them gophers aint welcome around these parts....

Been a while since I've posted anything. It's been a busy spring and summer for me with work so I have only managed two day trips to the foot hills and two long weekend trips into the high sierras over the past several months.Then I decided I wanted to build a greenhouse because the rodents were getting into our vegetable garden. That ate up three weekends. Lisa and I are having fun meeting up with new friends in the middle of nowhere. All of you are members of this board. Our thanks for all your help and valuable tips... I even managed a quick 3 hour hunt with Deathray last week to a good relic spot. Some photos of our finds and some of the scenery. strick

PM sent strick

At this point you may have to fork over some cash as well. strick

I'm a weekend warrior and so I don't get to use the 7k much. I am finally getting used to the sounds that it makes........but I still like my 2300 better for small gold. They are both excellent gold sniffing machines. strick

You wernt kidding about those saddles....NIce work Scott! strick

Add a couple more zeros..... strick

You can only spoil them once. I for one should know better but still do. Kenny was right it was a long ride home. Three decent ones for the lady and one dink the size of a match head for me. Thanks for being a great guide Klunker! Here's one of the gold (note the one that resembles a dog) And a couple of the gold sniffing dog doing what he does best along with one of mama and her boy. strick

I'll be different and just say Nice Buffalo Nickle Chris! keep up the informative posts which good for newbies like myself. strick

Nice work! Thats a lunker in my book. strick

Welcome to the site Ron. Nice write up and I like your personal web site as well. And a Big thanks for all the help out at Rye Patch. strick

Both my wife's an my sdc are missing the pins as well. strick

I'm gonna write that down on my 3x5 card and call it my "High Sierra settings". Too bad the Zed wont let you save settings like the CTX then you could just toggle back and forth between your saved settings. Hopefully heading to your neck of the woods in the next week or two. strick

Words of Wisdom for sure. With every target there is hope. How much one chooses to dig depends upon how hopeful the individual is. Some targets sound more hopeful then others. My little terrier "Buddy" in my avatar is a digging machine. He helps to keep me motivated to move some dirt while we are out detecting. strick

Nice going! I would have just dug the nugget and missed all that nice fine gold. strick

Thats a nice nugget for a pit! Nice work Chris! strick

From a few months ago my reply to Featherfishead on another forum. The ATX also does a high low and low high sounds for different types of targets and for my simple mind that was too complicated. I just want a detector to go beep when it finds something. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/metal-detecting-gold/452912-want-hear-atx-users.html strick

One of the hardest decisions we have to make. I do not envy you at this moment. You gave her a good life including her with you on your adventures. My little guy (the one in the avatar) goes to work with me every day. RIP Zoe strick

That's a really good program and I use it 75% of the time Another one is called "Indians and Silver" if you have not downloaded it already. Link deleted since Findmall Forum update broke all old links strick

Welcome to the forum. What took you so long Thanks for sharing.... that's some pretty gold. Keep posting. strick

Twice now I've lost small nuggets in the pile using the GPZ. I've used the 2300 to find them. A small powerful pinpointer like you have described would work great. Or I could just dig bigger nuggets like Klunker told me . strick

It's a great little detector for sure. Initially I was frustrated with the lack of ability to make accurate ID's on targets. And was thinking about selling her but have since changed my mind. She will lie to you when you first start dating her. But it does not take long to understand her ways and then you will get along fine with her. Accurate pin pointing. Good depth. Good iron disc (small iron) Really good on small round objects... buttons... coins. Just dig anything that hits well and see what it is. The CTX will give you more reasons not to dig. I have both. Had a fun little hunt with Deathray last weekend and left the CTX in the truck. strick
