Been thinking how I could make a protective cover for my ZED. So I cut the arm off a old wetsuit I had. And fitted it around the body of the ZED. Kind of crude, but will give it some protection. You have to take the ZED apart to fit it on. I first cut a small slit, just big enough to stretch over the screen. Then stretched the big end of the wetsuit over where the front shaft slides into. Then pulled it back and re-hooked the 2 cable's back up and locked it together. Then cut a slit to slide the armrest back on. Then cut off the excess neoprene near the battery. Should work well enough until I can get a proper made cover.

The Ross family. Ricky and Candy.

What a small world it is. Fred's family lived right next door to me as a kid, and maybe Fred also if I'm thinking correct?

Can you show a picture to show how attach the hipstick to the zed?

Ordered one for Mom. And one for me .

I can only see the need for 3 detectors. A minelab PI. A gold bug 2. And a great discrimination vlf.

I have a great twelve step program. I walk twelve steps. Dig another nail.

At home, watching it rain hard, but I do not fret. My ZED has a cover of suede, and can not get wet. My day is not lost, and I'm not pineing. Im reading and researching, about going mining.

Hair of dog, tire of jeep. Rock from canyon, steep, steep, steep. Sip of beer, sweat from brow. Klunker finds them deep, holy cow !

My problem is I keep finding Klunkers covered dig holes everywhere. I guess I'm a day late and a nugget short. Great shooting Norm.

Very nice. Klunker and Luther are a wonderful team.

The Hipstick works great on the gpz 7000. Only issue, you have to tilt the handle with the control display either left or right off of square with the coil. Because the bungee hits the control display when you swing back and forth.

Well boys, I'm in the club. Had to sell some detectors, dredges and other stuff to get in. But I'm in. I've had it for a few weeks now. I find it super easy to learn. With the help of the others on the forum , the great topics,tips.... The learning curve is real short on the Zed, compared to the gpx 5000 for me. I've found gold on almost every outing. Nothing to write home about, but am very impressed with the Zed. I have found a lead slug about a 1/2 ounce at 24 inches. Was sure hoping it was gold. But it will happen. I am leaving tomorrow to a remote patented placer mine for a week. I have found some nice gold there in the past, with a detector. But it has never seen a Zed yet. So, I am excited to say the least. With the short time I have used the Zed. I have found more gold than my 1st season with the gpx 5000. Plus I am already more comfortable on how to use the settings of the 7000 than I ever was with the 5000. So wish me luck and I will give you all a update when I return.

You can wear on the shoulder speakers. Work real well unless it real windy.

Slip a bb in a friends coil cover and watch the fun. Lol

Why would you crush this? Couldn't this be worth more as a specimen? But very nice find!

I would like to see it. I have our 3rd annual Rye patch nugget shoot in September. Will give all the details if ok with Steve?

Waiting for that advice and tips JP? Lol

I need a whole tutorial on all of this. I had trouble just trying to put a kmz file on BCN of all the old mines in my area.

It's a Easter nugget. It's holy. Great story.

Ever see mothman? Lol

Adam, great adventure! Nice piece. For every catamount that you see,10 see you. You live in some of the most beautiful, rugged mountains. Not as much historical documentation on the gold output in your area is there to read as in more publicized motherlode region. So it is for you to go find them prospects yourself.

I'm trying to understand the relationship between gold and diorite. I probably seen it a million times, but I thought it was just granite.

Our group bought some Bounty hunter jr. Not much to them. But do the job for the kids.

I was going to hit a few workings this morning. But woke up to snow. Good thing you got over the hill with the 5th wheel. HAPPY EASTER Everyone!
