Paul, You got your first GPZ nugget...here's to thousands more, Congratulations Buddy! Rick & Robin

Paul, One great post you made there! One day close you'll enjoy retirement as much as Robin & I and take full advantage of your time as you please. Thanks for your Service to our Country and to your continued service and care for us Veterans at the Reno Veterans Hospital...your goal is retirement! Until the next hunt Rick

Beardog, Now I know your comments weren't directed at me and if I drag out my Topo's of all the virgin patches NuggetSlayer and I found, even you'd be impressed! We've never came close to a 12 ounce nugget, nor do we follow behind a bulldozer. Don't think for a minute none of us don't stomp the woods or desert hills in search of our own dreams. We all pay our dues and we make the most of our spare time, where time permits! Rick

Art, Has to be snow at the 7000' level, stay warm! Rick

Tvanwho, there isn't much to compare the size of the nuggets for total weight, but it was 4.8 dwts on those coils. Plenty of beer & rib eye $ if it was in a single poke...lol I'd like to show you my early Christmas gift, my new Treasure Poke Box...them little guys add up! LuckyLundy

Randy, Hey, glad you have your new GPZ. Next time at Rye Patch, Rudy and I can help you and Chuck to dig a fat nugget of your own. LuckyLundy

NuggetSlayer (Jeff), About time you got on the GPZ list. Your coil looks funny being all clean, it won't take you long before it will looks like ours, Dirty! Rick

What do you get with 4 GPZ's and 4 experienced operators and one old patch? More nuggets! A good patch is never totally dead if you have a few tricks up your sleeves to coax an elusive nugget to take the bait. Taking full advantage of the GPZ in an old patch is time consuming. And extra slow movement of the coil and a good after market set of headphones are a must to hear the sounds of a nugget that has escaped every detector that swung in an old patch. Patience of a successful Fisherman or Hunter is a must in our Hobby/Sport. Don't judge the cost of these 4 detectors, nor the size of the nuggets found during this hunt...just all the fun we had! Until the next hunt LuckyLundy

One of my favorite sayings for days like the above is: "Everyday is a Different Day" LuckyLundy

I'm still working on my problems with Minelab...not to steal this thread from Chris. My Pro Swing 45, and my Swing Arm are out of play! Please help Minelab Chicago, finally sent me and RMA # for these items. Now, mail the items back to them...lets see how this goes! LuckyLundy

Doc, invents some great after market accessories for our detectors and our hobby! Here's my GPZ cover, and on my buddies GPZ coil is one of Doc's Poke Holders! Doc, keep thinking and talk to you soon...your with me on every hunt or your products are...lol Rick

Chris, I sent my GPX to that address a few years back. With the same problem your having! No confirmation that they even received my detector and no phone call for a couple weeks, finally called Chicago and they couldn't contact this guy. I finally sent my Brother there to check it out and it was one of them places that rent mail boxes...kind of shady! He finally contacted me, after I was raising hell with Chicago that my detector was being sent back to me that day. I gave him and ear full and a bad review to Chicago...but he still has the contract...lol. Surprised Minelab, hasn't sent you a new detector out. Seen less problems with the GPZ and new unit was sent out pronto. Good luck Rick

I was hoping to see the guy that sews up the Pro Swing 45 or why they can't put a lanyard on their Pin Pointer guy in development...lol Rick

Norm, The upgrade is working out great! This last week I dug up nuggets that just made me shake my head in amazement of the GPZ. I will tell you, no detectorist gets all the gold in a productive area...but it helps to swing a GPZ, lol. Until the next hunt Rick

Chuck, This is the best hobby! Don't quit you day job...it's the hunt, the sweet tone, God's gold country and the friends you met on your travels. Until the next hunt Rick

Lunk, Well earned 1/4 ounce! Your a master of the Zed and no nugget is safe in any goldfield with you & Zed, chasing it down. To your continued success, my Friend...Until the next hunt Rick

Fred, I'm with you! When I updated at Rye Patch this last trip, I did notice a difference. But, it wasn't mind boggling by any means...you still have to work through tuff conditions to have a little rattle in the poke bottle. Yet, I'm more than happy Minelab, is working to keep us GPZ owners updated. Maybe a few updates away to counter our soil conditions? Rick

Lunk, That is the best Pizza I've eating in the State of Nevada...a must stop for all hungry Prospector's! Now we are giving some of the secrets away, see ya soon. Rick

Lunk, Always a pleasure running into you way out in them hills! I know you had to have a chilly night at camp, your always more than welcome to our campers and hot meal. See ya on the next adventure! Rick

I spent 3-days in Rye Patch and I was suffering with the nosiey wet soil, on day one! What a change in conditions from the week prior. So I, updated my GPZ that eve, to seek some help and I did notice a somewhat smoother machine on the following days hunt. One of my hunting partners did not update and had a great hunt, but was checking out more hot spots with his pick than I. Until the next hunt! LuckyLundy

Rudy, Like I said, dinks are bread and butter! I like butter on my bread...We can discuss this challenge in the field, pizza dinner for the winner and the hunting party! See ya soon Rick

Rudy, My settings are the best for dry dirt! I will have to probably change my settings this weekend at Rye Patch with the wet soil and be some what close the yours...lol. Bring beer and food Rick

Flak, I've known you for years, and one day look forward to seeing you more in the field! You do have to know your equipment and the music it sings. I learned early to not make the GPZ run as smooth as my GPX...it talks a different talk. Rick

Ms Peg, It was a pleasure meeting you out searching for gold nuggets. Your more than on your way to being a very successful detectorist in our hobby. I told my Wife Robin about you and how hard you worked for your nuggets, she can't wait to meet you! Thanks for your service to our Country and to your continued service to America's Disabled Veterans in the Great State of Idaho. Rick & Robin

Scott, Your more than right! I shouldn't have to find a place to sew this up for me or find a plastic manufacturing place to fix that J Bar. Here is the deal...Minelab send me a new Pro Swing 45, Thanks in Advance! LuckyLundy
