  1. Your shovel is way too big, try a small irregular shaped bit of ferrous metal. A small nail or such.
  2. I disagree, everyone is entilted to an opinion and the right to express it. I like the Monster but that dosen't mean every one has to.
  3. Where you find gold in caliche you can also find magnetite and black sand which will affect detector preformance.
  4. Me too, its not like l don't have another detector.
  5. "Another big difference, the GM1000 is (almost) available now. The CZX has not appeared." Exactly.
  6. It seems like Fishers CZX has been made by ML, its called a Gold Monster 1000.
  7. I think it would be great for patch hunting, I could swing it ALL day , cover a lot of ground and still have a arm for tomorrow.
  8. J1962 Detectron then a Metrotech then a step backward with a Whites BFO Goldmaster.. I also build several Little Monster BFOs from the plans in KVMs book The Treasure Hunters Manual # 2.
  9. 1962 Detectron then a Metrotech then a step backward with a Whites BFO Goldmaster..
  10. I have found natural gold in Ca, Az, NM, Co, Mt, Id and Or. None in SD, Wa or Wy yet.
  11. I gave my GB2 to someone l didn't like, now, l can't get it back.
  12. I use a potato with a hole scooped out and a acetylene torch and Borateem, takes only a couple of minutes.. Been doing it for years, works great and potatoes are cheap.
  13. It was $35 a ounce (or $35 for 31.1etc grams) when I started in1959 so I don't have any intentions of quiting now. I may have to slow down tho.
  14. In 1987 I detected a 1/2 oz nugget . encased in what I believe was hematite.
  15. Is it possible that the round coil is 59 kz and the eliptical is 53, dosen't seem likely to me, but what do i know.?
  16. The pic. shows a round coil, I thought the new coil was a eliptical .
  17. I was in Oklahoma around 196? and Bill Mahan was demostrating the paper money detecting ability of his D Tex detectors. They did produce a weak signal at very close distance, not sure if it was the paper money or the BS that was detected. I was also using a Whites BFO at that time
  18. I had one of those Garretts, back then I was more gullible and believed a lot of the advertising. About 4" on a coin if I remember correctly. Someone told me the word "gullible" wasn't in the dictionary and I believed him.LOL
  19. Although I believe ML makes a good heavyweight detector, I think they are a rip off and unscrupulous company.JMPO
