If you get back out in the next couple days look for a silver jeep with black cargo pod. Plugging away for those elusive nuts. BTW, yesterday was crowded for Rye Patch. 5 or six other rigs scattered around. Mike

We belong to Roadrunner and some of the claims have good potential for detecting. An annual membership is about $320. I would not ignore GPAA. A couple claims in that area are OK for detecting. Weaver Mining District has claims but not sure of cost or detector potential. Finally, Quartzite Metal Detectors Club is $20 per year with a couple claims. Stop at a BLM office for maps!

Way to go Lunk. We left too soon. But at least the Zed will be back in commission for winter hunting in AZ@

What Phrunt said. Pinpointer can help quickly isolate trash, but not much help for gold. I only carry one in high trash areas and not always then. But the RRCC claims and most everywhere in AZ is trashy. With the NOX you can pinpoint pretty well. Personally would keep it if you can afford to but it's something one can live without. Arky

Like Dave I have been to a couple training session with Gerry's team. Yes, Gerry promotes his products and you have to respect that because field training isn't cheap. But these training sessions are the difference between bumbling along getting frustrated and actually knowing how to detect for gold. If you come to the training to learn rather than expecting to find gold, you will come away from the 3 days knowing your machine, understanding settings, knowing about coil control, understanding how to pinpoint and dig targets, and maybe having some strategy for future detecting. You see gold and listen to how gold sounds. You will spend time plugged in with folks who really know how to find gold. You will be in the company of folks with a common interest. You might find gold during the training, but don't count on that. In my experiences several people have found gold, but not everyone in the training. But everyone gets a chance to listen to targets as they are being dug. Camp on-site if you can and if the weather cooperates. AND no this post was not solicited. Just a satisfied customer. Mike
