  1. Merton, I too have had the same problems. You have to notch about everything to quiet it down. I have found a little gold with it,but only near mild bedrock. IDK where Klunker took you in the past couple days. But seems to me,everything in this county is hot ground. I just don't see much use using a VLF looking for gold around here. I did get the douche to run fairly quiet near Rye Patch. BTW. I stopped by Klunkers shop on Friday afternoon to say hello. But I guess you guys were still out in the fields.
  2. Paul. My GPAA group in Reno is doing this. We have taught close to 2000 youngsters how to detect. It is a great experience to see a kid find a few coins with a detector. Anyone feel free to attend or volunteer. Or contact me for more details. 1) Explore the Outdoors Saturday, April 18th 10a – 3p Rancho San Rafael Regional Park For the Explore the Outdoor event we will not be doing GOLD PANNING as the park removed the panning flume. We will instead be partnering with Reno Detecting and Prospecting group to put on metal detecting event.
  3. You need some "Redneck Pinstriping" to break it in.
  4. I keep hearing the term "Favorable Geology" on here. What geologic indicators do you look for while detecting for gold.
  5. Over the years of prospecting. Weather it be dredging, highbanking, detecting. I've came across to strange finds in my pursuit of the elusive gold. I've found a fish hook in the desert. A gold bridge with a few teeth in it while dredging. A hot wheels car. Miles from any road.
  6. I thought it was until 3. I found out it was until 2 O'clock. Sorry I missed you!
  7. Will be at Cabelas Reno today. Teaching gold panning and detecting basics. 9-3 . Stop by and say hi.
  8. A good site finding most of the old mines. You can search by state and county and get the names and coordinates of the mines http://www.westernmininghistory.com/
  9. I was at Walmart earlier. They asked "how do you want to pay for this ? "
  10. I think the Extra Deep setting needs to be explained more. From what I've heard. It really does nothing. Just a marketing ploy. But there got to be more than that to it. If in a trashy area, and you know there is deeper gold. Why wouldn't this be a viable option?
  11. I have a Deus. In hindsight I with I would have got a Ctx 3030.
  12. Tonight we have Shannon Poe from American mining rights association.
  13. The only positive I see for having only one coil. Is not worrying about someone breaking in your truck and stealing the thousands of dollars of GPX coils.
  14. All gold is beautiful. And losing a pound per gram of gold is a good trade-off.
  15. Plenty of gold in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon for me. No need to travel too far.
  16. Just used the hipstick and gpx harness. Hooked it to my weedeater. Did the whole property.
  17. I'd be looking at the GPX5000. Hint hint hint. LOL(classifieds) I liked my 2300 and 5000. But wanting to upgrade to the 7000 has it's costs. Whatever route you go. You will always have a wealth of info here to access.
  18. I like everything about the hipstick. Except the inventor. Bahaaa
  19. You need to go to the archive's here. Steve give plenty of info to make informed choices. The sdc2300 is a PI. The Eureka Gold is a VLF. Both great detectors. So you will half to decide what kind of soil you will mostly be wanting to detect for gold in? If the ground is mild, a vlf will probably work. If the ground (soil) is hot ( mineralized) then a PI is a better choice. Hope that helps.
