Minelab GPZ Review By Rye Patch Ron

Great review Ron. -
WTG Lucky!

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

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!

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!

Meteorites-Are You Sure That Is A Hotrock?
Lunk replied to fredmason's topic in Metal Detecting For Meteorites
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.

Fors Gold or XT 705 or GMT or GM 2 VSAT
Lunk replied to spencer@wy's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
That's the same combo that I use; the X-Terra 705 is excellent for zeroing in on gold nuggets in heavy trash environments like mine tailings, besides being a fantastic coin and relic hunter. Watch an example of its versatility here: https://youtu.be/pm5IgBS0GS8- 7 replies

The weather in northern Nevada has been perfect and the Zed has been popping nuggets every day on the old patches. The highlight of the past few days was a solid quarter-ouncer at a foot deep in a spot I thoroughly gridded in the past with the GPX 5000; the signal was strong and clear from the start. Pictured is 18 grams of golden goodies and a 3 grammer found at a measured 12 inches...enjoy. Gold Mode: High Yield Ground Type: Normal Sensitivity: 8-10
