Nice!

Thanks guys... Boulder dash: the Zed is extremely awesome. Mitchel: I mainly detect old worked out nugget patches and so require a detector that responds to more sizes and types of gold nuggets deeper than any detectors used on those patches in the past. Right now that machine is the Minelab GPZ 7000, and I must say the results speak for themselves...the Zed is a keeper in my book. If that makes me a "Zed-waving elitist", then by the gods that's what I am and damn proud of it, too.? Beatup: I know the feeling; I have to be back to work the first of May. Rick: As soon as it warms up a bit, I'll be there!

Steve, how do I reformat my signature?

The mighty Zed responded with a faint signal through the wireless speaker this afternoon as I passed the coil over some large surface rocks. The bench gravels had been thoroughly detected in the past, but this nuggets hiding place was finally lit up by the power of ZVT. The water-worn, watermelon seed nugget, my 200th found from the Quartzsite regional placer area this winter, brings the grand total to 4 ounces. Good luck out there!

WTG!

Nice job you guys, congrats!

Awesome!

Two crumbs are better than none...wtg!

Sweet! How deep?

Well done Condor!

Well done, Alex! As you found out, it's not easy to find gold nuggets with a metal detector; it takes much time and effort to be successful. I have a feeling that you will be an old pro in no time.

Alex, it is frustrating to dig alot of trash, but just remember that every junk target adds to your experience and skills as a metal detector operator. May your next target be yellow!

Dude, two seated coins in one day...awesome!

Having known Ron for many years, I can certainly vouch for his sincerity and genuine effort to contribute to the knowledge base that makes this such a great forum. He has a wealth of experience to share with those eager to learn about our fantastic hobby. I for one am proud to call him a friend and have the privilege of serving with him on Team Nugget Busters for Gerry's Detectors, one of the best detector dealers on the planet. Anyone can check Gerry's track record and see that he is one of the highest volume dealers, second to none in customer service, and the fact that he doesn't even advertise in any of the gold magazines itself should speak volumes. Sorry Steve, but I just had to get my blatant plug in there!

Excellent!

Great job, Fred. As you have found out, the Zed loves to find gold on old patches.

Sweet finds, wtg!

Awesome finds Strick, and a lovely pendant for Lisa; El Dorado is a mighty fine goldsmith.

Good one CF!

Well I've been averaging an ounce a month with my Zed here in Q, so it may take a few more moons, lol

Hey good thinking...is there a physicist in the room?

SS, not unless the coriolis effect is somehow involved, lol! Jasong, sounds like a good excuse to go hunt Australia to me...

That does make things interesting, Jasong. I have also noticed that different combinations of Gold Modes and Ground Types can alter the tones; for example in High Yield\Normal and High Yield\Difficult most all the nuggets I have found respond with a high-low, whereas in General\Difficult most reverse.

Have you considered that perhaps since Aussie ground is generally so much more mineralized than ours that the GB point for their ground allows more nuggets to reverse than it does ours?

Lucky, there's a fatty out there with your name on it too, bro; keep er swingin! Thanks for the replies, everyone.
