Ever Have A Weird Detecting Hunt? Video To View.
garikfox replied to Gerry in Idaho's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
That's bizarre. Have you done any more research on the tags? -
I'm alone in my prospecting adventure. I've been doing self study of most things including geology. I haven't met any club members yet. I live in SE Maricopa County so its pretty far to our claim sites.

I understand thanks Chris. I appreciate your information. I'm heading out Sept 18th. I'm going to use just VLF that day. I'll focus on my GPX-5000 later in the fall, i'm probably going to start off with the 8"inch commander mono. Im very new i just got my EQ800 in December and just got my GM1000 two months ago. I only used the EQ800 for about 1hr total.

I was just curious and was wondering what the GPX-5000 has that the GPX-4800 doesn't have?

I actually cancelled the 17x13 order because i wasn't to sure if that was the best one or the 15"inch evo. I haven't touched a GPZ7000 yet. I still need to open my GPX5000 box lol. Sept 18 is when im heading out to the fields.

"Thank You" to all the Men and Boys at This Forum
garikfox replied to Professor Hester's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
He did mention in his Amazon author biography that he has/had terminal cancer. Let's hope he's okay. I searched and couldn't find his death. What's interesting though some of his books were published in 2017 -

Do You Have A Four Legged Prospecting Buddy?
garikfox replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Hi my name is Boomer! I'm 3yrs old and my owner thinks i'm a american staff./sharpei. I want to go prospecting really bad with my owner, he likes to dig rocks and i like to smell them. I don't think he'll let me go because he thinks i will smell this plant called a cactus and my mouth will end up looking like a angry porcupine. I've begged to go... Occasionally I sneak inside this motorized human buggy. I also got crazy and found my own buggy. -
Bigger Coil, More Energy?
garikfox replied to garikfox's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
There must be some serious electronics inside a GPX-5000, wow! -
Bigger Coil, More Energy?
garikfox replied to garikfox's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Thanks i think i understand. So a piece of "metal" in the ground completes the circuit sorta speak. -
I seem to have messed up and bought another coil 🙂 Nugget Finder 17x13 spoked I might be stretching the boy scout motto a bit far. Be prepared

Bigger Coil, More Energy?
garikfox replied to garikfox's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I was thinking the bigger coil the bigger field so thus increasing power usage. -
I was wondering why I haven't seen this question anywhere. Does a bigger coil use more power?

Five Counterfeit Golden Eagles?
garikfox replied to garikfox's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
No problem. I'm going to take them to a local jewelry shop soon. I'll report back 🙂 -
Anyone remember the old Popular Science ads? I thought this was a good classic to share. Even though this ad pre-dates me by 6yrs, it puts a smile to my face :)

Five Counterfeit Golden Eagles?
garikfox replied to garikfox's topic in Metal Detecting For Coins & Relics
Real eagles weigh about 33g ea. -
Hi everyone, I'm concerned my 5 x 1oz Gold eagles could be fake I inherited these from my mother. Her late husband purchased 30 of them. They pass the "ring" test. They pass the size test. But...they don't pass the weight test... Around 19g ea. on all of them (real eagles weigh about 33g ea.). I'm probably going to take them to a local jeweler soon. My question is we probably know these are fake so is it worth melting these down to get what gold is in these out of them?
