Now you're talking a different language and expanding my vocabulary!

Are these coils still coming out on April 30? Will any of the test videos be published?

I get bombarded by a lot of 'stuff' on the internet. We all do. This is something else that caught my eye. It could possibly be a research source or something more tunable. To achieve this breakthrough, the team utilized Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), an innovative technology that merges satellite radar data with seismic vibrations caused by natural earth movements. This method allows for the creation of 3D images of hidden underground structures, without the need for excavation. Scientists Say They’ve Found Vast Hidden City Under Egyptian Pyramids | Ancient Origins https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/city-beneath-pyramids-0021984 Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a technique for producing fine-resolution images from a resolution-limited radar system. The synthetic aperture refers to the distance that the SAR device moves during the time that the radar pulse is emitted and reflected. SAR requires that the radar be moving in a straight line, either on an airplane or orbiting in space. SAR uses the motion of the radar antenna over a target region to provide finer spatial resolution than conventional stationary beam-scanning radars.

Chuck, It seems lately the more big gold discoveries that are announced the higher the price of gold still goes! Don't most commodity prices go down when you have a bumper crop or you discover millions of more ounces of a metal? I think your WAG works in this case but it also works for all the mining companies right now about profits because costs are now divorced from profits which are going up with the price of gold.

I have that 12" NF Evolution and I've found a piece or two of gold with it and the Algo but I haven't used it on my 5000 yet. I hope to change that in a couple of months when the family is away and that will give me some time for a couple of long hunts. Maybe someone here will invite me to a western hunt and try it out. I'll have from the middle of June until the middle of August.

It sold for: $612,500 https://fineart.ha.com/itm/minerals/golds/gold-nugget-golden-beauty-4-5205-grams-14534-troy-ounces-near-kalgoorlie-boulder-shire-western/a/8208-72132.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515

How many ounces of gold did it take to buy a 7000 when it came out? How many when the 5000 came out in 2009? Will Minelab price the new gold detector at 3 or 4 ounces?

I think there is a 'problem' of what will make the next detector the 'Holy Grail' of larger nugget detectors. The obvious direction to go is deeper. More deep, big (1/2 oz and better) nuggets without falsing because digging a deep hole in hard ground and coming up without gold will be a killer. How much big, unseen gold can be in the top two feet or so that a GPZ and/or 5000 could have missed of a known nugget patch? Another consideration will be the price of gold. At the rate it is going up it will only take an ouncer or two to buy the new machine! You can just take a flier on it as long as it doesn't weigh too much. We're older now.

I've found more with the 800 than the Manti by far. Some of that is based upon the conditions at our beaches (more targets then vs now) and amount of time I used it. I don't see a reason to get rid of it. It is still a good coin hunter at our seeded hunts but I guess they have too many models. Based upon what others say about the 900, there could have been a software upgrade to the 800 that would be equivalent in performance. Get'm while they last.

This is an interesting story about a gold deposit in France. I wonder when he actually saw it in his stream? https://www.msn.com/en-us/society-culture-and-history/history/by-chance-he-discovers-a-gold-deposit-in-auvergne-valued-at-4-billion-euros-but-the-french-government-blocks-its-exploitation/ar-AA1DglGC

Those are a few good things. You don't have to wonder now! I've seen places around here being prepared for reconstruction which includes sidewalk areas. I keep thinking to go back at night but then something gets my attention. I'm left with the 'what ifs' and the 'I wonders' each time I pass the places.

I want to do that with some Saffordites and geodes.

I travel. I'm ending a trip now from California to Florida and back!

Double that!
