  1. You can't run this machine wrong! There are many setting members have posted, what they have found color with. I don't have a dialed in setting and have a small note pad full of settings that have added gold to my poke from NorCal to Northern Nevada. The GPZ, is like a Corvette! You can run it hard and fast or at normal cruise speed. I like both speeds depending if hunting old patches or new ground. Until the next hunt,

  2. Peteren,

    I was using High Yield/Difficult, Sens 14, Auto Smoothing Off, Auto GB. Rudy (top hand) was using General/Normal, Sens 9, Auto Smoothing Low, Fixed GB. Is there a wrong way to run the GPZ? No, it will find you nuggets in the Defualt Modes or experimenting with different setting! Until the next hunt

  3. Fred,

    I haven't swung the GPZ there yet! But, I would have given Extra Deep a shot and if that didn't work High Yield/Sever. If that wouldn't do the trick, I hold the coil off the ground and inch or two like we did with the GPX's. I've been hunting in Fixed the last couple days and you wouldn't believe how good it is. The GPZ, will run noisy and as you gain more experience with you'll get use to its language...swing that coil slow. Good luck!

  4. I know enough has been said about the GPZ and its abilities to find nuggets missed by previous metal detectors! Today, we wanted to hit and old patch and glad we did. The GPZ, was amazing snagging nuggets in and old pounded patch, it nearly reminded me of the hey days! Needless, to say my hand lower one has only dinks and my partner had the hot coil for some quality nuggets. I might take tomorrow off, still recouping from my Rye Patch trip...but there's gold to dig! Until the next hunt

  5. Rege,

    That green scoop is a foot long, but the target was on the tapered slope of the lip of the little wash. It was on bedrock, if I was good at figuring angles I'd guess 8" deep. Just a soft nugget tone at first, but digging down to the target it was getting louder and I couldn't wait to get it in my scoop...lol

  6. Strick,

    I have a couple Buddies out at Rye Patch and invit d me to come back to hunt with them. But, I have a guest at my house with their new GPZ for some training in the morning. Toss them nuggets into your poke and think of your next hunt! Talk soon,

  7. Chuck,

    Hey we had a great time with you and Lisa! I'm glad you found a handful of nuggets for your poke too. More beer is always good and thanks for helping me dig that nugget out when we met in the goldfield. If you can find me in the middle of the desert, your well on your way to finding a nice nugget! Post your nuggets on this thread is fine. Take care and talk soon,

    Rick & Robin
