  1. Thanks again everyone 🙂

    Oh i forgot to tell you all, my girlfriends GM1000 is fine. When she tumbled the shaft by the armrest unscrewed a few millimeters. So i just tightened it and all is well again.

    You guys are going to laugh (because i did), on the previous expedition when my girlfriend was attempting to use the GM1000, she was doing a new swinging technique i haven't seen before 🙂 just think of Karate Kid and Wax On, Wax Off. lol. What's even funnier is she found a hot rock with excitement thinking it was gold, she takes the dirty hot rock hands it to me and said its gold! I said no...it isn't gold, if it was that little rock would weigh ten times as much. So the GGM1000 is going strong again and I feel like an un-experienced teacher lol 🙂 

    P.S - GGM1000 = Girlfriends Goldmonster 1000. 

    Next Expedition October 30th.

  2. I'm back everyone, I didn't find anything because i didn't even make it to the destination. But close. I enjoyed myself nonetheless. My girlfriend hated every bit of it, lol. She also slipped and fell on the GM1000, scraped herself up and now the GM1000 wobbles a hair. I wont even go into the complaining I heard about walking up the hills. 🙂

    I got there at about 11:30am temp was about 75F. It was VERY close to highway 87. Decent dirt road to the place where we parked. Continuation to the destination needed a ATV which i didn't have. The walk to the destination is about 3750ft.

    The area seemed not so touched by man sorta speak. was quiet, saw a prospector come out on a ATV and rode past us.

    I started at the purple box.

    I ended up at the light blue box. (notice the white turn in the wash, i have a picture)

    The red box was my actual destination.

    I think i'm going to get a Honda Pioneer 500. I can't be spending my whole time walking to these claims. 🙂

    Here below is what the new area looks like. I'm to new to determine if this location looks good, but i'm guessing it looks great.

  3. Hello everyone, I'm getting my first GPS device and narrowed it down to a few. I was wondering if anyone experienced with these can tell me if im doing this correctly or not. 🙂 

    Garmin GPSMAP 66s or GPSMAP 64s. Which one would last the longest, most durable

    Also, correct me if im wrong. For us electronic prospectors wouldnt it be a good idea to get the HuntsView map?

    Or do i get the SE 24k and combine it with the BirdsEye

    What map(s) do you all use?

  4. Thank you guys 🙂 I appreciate you all for helping me in all this. It's been kind of a confusing time for me.

    I will take "ALL" your advice and I'm going to use with what I have and you all are right I have some good hardware and not everyone has what i have.

    P.S - BTW I donated the GM1000 to my girlfriend. She got excited when she found a nail. 🙂
