Lunk

That's what Zed dreams are made of! Persistence pays...well done Strick. As you found out first hand, the 7000 has incredible performance, especially when it is adjusted properly to suit the ground conditions one is searching. Congrats on a rare and well deserved find!

I don't know any details; perhaps Gerry will join the thread and enlighten us soon.

Why does it look like a sponge?

I'm guessing that half of the specie was treated with HF.

Nice and yellow...wtg!

Gigantor nugget...check it!

Epic dig Lucky, way to go!

Great review Ron.

WTG Lucky!

I figured you would have it out in no time up there in Idaho.

Great to know your summer will be welcoming more gold from the same old spots.

The GPZ-7000 can do some amazing things and you know how to make it sing.

My customers wanted to thank you, Ron, Scott, Mark for the outstanding training at Rye Patch.

I'll do another 3 day class end of May.

Thanks guys...

Gerry, it's always a pleasure training your customers; wish I could be there in May.

WTG Dean!

Once upon a time while detecting in Arizona, a target that I thought was just another one of the many magnetite "ironstone" hot rocks littering the area jumped onto the super-magnet on my pick. But as I plucked it off of the magnet and prepared to fling it into the nearest bush, I noticed that it was unusually heavy for it's size; rubbing the dirt off of the nickel-sized stone revealed a band of gold running through it.

Back home now for the summer in northern Idaho, I got out to swing the mighty Zed for a couple hours at an old spot where the skunk now dominates when searching with a vlf or pi machine. I got the first signal within the first minute after powering on, and after six inches of digging the target was out of the hole and in my scoop - a small golden "watermelon seed" nugget. At that point I knew it was going to be another productive outing with the Zed. Most of the gold unearthed was small and thin - more like flakes than nuggets - too deep for the vlf's and invisible to the pi's. It's going to be a great summer thanks to ZVT!

Strick and Lisa, I'm glad you found some nice nuggets; you definitely earned them while braving the elements!

Awesome!

Nice!

Thanks Steve, it was great to finally meet you too. And thanks for stopping by and saying a few words to the students; they really appreciated it. And a big shout-out to Chris Ralph for making an appearance as well!

Great dig Rob!

Welcome aboard the Zed train Scott, you will have many golden adventures with it!

WTG Art! Reminds me of my first foray into the Nevada outback...plenty of trips to see "Two Pound" Dick Bailey at the Burns Brothers tire repair shop...oh the memories!

Nice space rocks guys!

Another 26 grams of the good stuff added to the poke by the mighty Zed. The smallest bit pictured weighs in at a mere six tenths of a grain. The deepest was a 4 grammer (lower right of dime) at a measured 16 inches.

WTG!

Nice!

Any time, Lucky. Glad you were able meet your goal. It was great hunting with you; I thoroughly enjoyed your humorous wit and tenacity...Zedding til dusk!

Thanks guys!

Spencer, I'm actually at 30%; at this rate it will pay for itself by mid-July.
