    Can I Reduce Gpx's Mind Blowing Sensitivity

    in Minelab Metal Detectors

    My GPX 4500 with 14x9" EVO coil is the same, I can't carry my pick on my hip, it sets it off so I carry it over my shoulder, I can't have my carrot in my pocket or my phone, sets it off every step, especially if walking uphill.

    I've got used to it, it's the price you pay for having a powerful machine.

    Other coils like the 11" Commander don't cause the problem but aren't as sensitive I guess?

     

     

    I know how to solve the metal sensitivity issue your having ...... Wear no steel toe boots, use a plastic scoop and detect butt naked ......

    Another great find there! Keep the excellent content with pics coming! Was looking for my old 80's crevice tool, but my x wife took it. Where did you get that sweet hooked blade crevice tool? I am guessing you made that one yourself? P.S.

    The crevice tool is hand made by a Veteran here in Arizona...... $38.00

    Here is the link to his Ebay Store...... The crevice tool is simply amazing.... No crap for real ...... It's top quality materials and made with a passion..... I love mine !!!!!

    As for as a pinpointer, I have a TRX and it will pick up a #4 shot, That is a lot smaller than that nug. I didn't mean that you didn't do a good job. A pinpointer will speed up your dig time and give you more time to hunt. I do some beach hunting and my pointer will pick up ear ring backs when in my hand.

    I'm Using the Mi 6 today and it also picks up small bird shot and I like it because when I turn it on  you can hear it through your headphones and my old lady loves how it vibrates ......

    I would say the video would be a great video to show how not to retrieve a nug. A small nug say .10gram wont be found that way. Get a second scope. No dirt is dumped till both scopes are scanned. The scope with no beeps gets dumped in a single pile away from the hole. Some times you get two targets, one in each scope. Scan twice dump once lol.

    I got my first target right away, the .22 cal casing and then after that I only had one target remaining (low signal)...... The Orx let's you know if there are more targets in the hole believe me, I kept scanning and heard something was still in the hole, I dug a hole before in Rio Verde Arizona and found (5) nuggets in the very large and deep hole they are the dirty ones in this picture (dirty ones on the right)......IMG_20191116_124705.thumb.jpg.6d46e9f434c2c21d071663d36d33ce56.jpg.......

    Rye Patch Gold With GPX 5000

    I went to Rye Patch, NV last week and only had 9 hours of detecting with the GPX 5000. Got serious and followed some guidance from forum members and found 3 chevron nuggets (.6 gm, .3 gm and .3 gm) found 4" - 6" deep in heavily detected ground. Many thanks go out to Gerry with a great deal on the Minelab GPX 5000 and Rob's NF Evo 17 x 13 coil paired with the SteelPhase enhancer. Settings were: Gain 18 - 20, Deep, Sensitive Extra or Fine Gold, and a quiet Threshold so I could concentrate. Signals were obvious and clear, without the constant mineral & salt noise.  I also have a GPZ 7000, but trusted the reliable GPX for this short trip.:biggrin:

    Congrats Brother, grab those nuggets by the loins !

    The ORX is set on high mode because it's loud, I use headphones to turn it down using the headphones to hear just a quiet humm ..... and to have complete silence I got new headphones (Quest Wirefree Pro)..... Don't like the little legs of the ORX behind my ears...... The only legs I want wrapped around my head are my old lady's.

    This was in Cave Creek ..... Take old mine road from Cave Creek....... Take it toward the mountains and start climbing to the top, it dead ends at a BLM claim that's locked but don't claim jump take the left side of the road and it will dead end where a mountain side collapsed....... Keep going on foot another 1.5 to two miles up until you reach the quartz vein..... Can't miss it .....

    He's doing better than me that's for sure. Good job MannyScoot 🙂 

    You get what you put in, and be determined..... I have been driving from The Bradshaw mountains to Rio Verde, to Horseshoe dam, to Prescott, to Wickenburg, to Tucson........ Been to many places in the last month ....... and at some places found nothing, but scout the area and even if all you get is trash.... Keep going ...... I dug over 150 targets one day, but then bada bin bada bum ......Nuggies

    Thanks Fox
