We've had many threads in the past that show auction sites for buying and selling natural gold and minerals. I know there are 'go to' places out there where you have bought and sold. The pictures they have of gold can be enlightening about where to look for gold. Now that the price of gold is up you may want to look into your collections and get some cash. I saw a recent post that said someone sold their gold in Quartzsite. Who is the buyer there? I've heard other people say they need to drive to Phoenix to see gold found in Quartzsite. Does anyone trust someone by mail? Here is a place that displays Northern Nevada gold. I don't know anything about them other than this link. https://northernnevadagold.com/en/ Here is a place that you can sell high end gold and not have to wait for an auction. I have been to their store in Laguna Beach, seen them at shows and know some prospectors here have sold to them. https://kristalle.com/product-category/gold-gallery/

I'd say you'd be teaching us all a thing or two finding signals that deep. Well done. Having seen Chet work some areas in the past he uses your slow swing but maybe not your settings and he finds deep nuggets.

I have a new 'ringer' for best reality show ... Art Linkletter 'Kids Say The Darndest Things' It's too bad Bill Cosby is now associated with all of the old episodes long before we knew about him.

If it was reality then it would be shown without much post production but it is highly manipulated video shot on location. The best reality show I saw was Dirty Jobs. You could tell it was 'cut' but not put out of sequence.

The Gold Phrunt!

You are right about 2 and the rest of the episodes. I don't know which is which. I've only seen two of them but here is the list of episodes. https://www.discovery.com/shows/gold-rush-parkers-trail/episodes I need to go back to ON DEMAND and see all of them.

Parker's Episode 2 was worth the watch last night. No huge nuggets and a lot of hard work. My first look at anything Queensland. Tyler's Trial In the legendary Palmer goldfields, Parker and his team encounter a lucrative family-run mining operation and discover dirt far richer than anything they've ever seen in the Yukon. But convincing the family to lease him virgin ground will come at a price.

Simon will need a second plane for the coils!

I just asked if it was going to play in the states. I think I know the answer. This season the hunt is bigger than ever with 20 episodes and seven teams of gold hunters - the largest number in the show’s history – embarking on the ultimate treasure quest across the country. These gold hungry crews are driven by the record-breaking price of Australian gold, the increasing number of nuggets being found lying very close to the surface and the unwavering belief that they too could strike it rich and land a monster nugget. https://tvblackbox.com.au/programs/2020/3/26/airdate-aussie-gold-hunters-returns-for-its-biggest-season-yet

Do these signals result in nuggets?

My Nox was in for repair and I used my 3030 for about a month with the standard coil without a bungee and hipstick and found it acceptable if I adjusted it to a straight arm length. If I keep the weight in my hand then I'm ok. I like the screen and the GPS which shows me where I found my rings on the beach. When I went back to my 17" coil I needed the help of a bungee and hipstick because of the turn on my elbow. If I was to go out to the beach with my wife she would use the Nox and I'd use the CTX.

Next time I get on gold maybe ... several weeks away in all likelihood! I've been out with Chet and he carries his Nox over his shoulder while swinging the Zed just for this purpose. I mean he uses the Nox as his pinpointer so he avoids digging everything. Maybe he can tell us already what he thinks of the speed question.

Lunk, that is some information I was after. When you speed up the Nox the good and the bad targets disappear faster and give separation. I know the mellow sound of gold and would like it not to be 'masked' by a hot rock or other. What would you say the speed of the Zed is on the Nox scale? What would it be with Locate Patch On?

Today I took a short beach swing and didn't find much but it was good to just get out in a sea breeze if you know what I mean. I used the Equinox 800. About midway through my 2+ hours I checked my settings and noticed I had recovery speed on 5. I changed it to 6 and then the thought came to my mind, "What would I do or could I do with the Zed to immulate changing the recovery speed?" I've used the 800 in many different settings so far but mostly the beach. I've seen the videos of nails next to good targets. How do YOU tease the good targets out of trash like the 800?

Just Fred ... closing the parking lots because of no parking places. Of course it was because of TOO MANY PEOPLE. haha They said it was ok for people to go to the beach and then EVERYONE went at the same time. I saw the traffic jams. You couldn't even get under the tunnel in Santa Monica.

Not everyone catches my sense of humor!

We see JW put the pedal to the metal and found a nice piece. I've been looking at the weather in our deserts and the wind is over 15 mph for the next few days. They've closed the beaches, parks and trails because no one could find a parking place!

Can you post a link to the Christie's site?

Well done Chris. Is it good hunting weather? Mitchel

In the first link are great pictures and great prices from an auction last year. I can't see the auction this year because the NY Times blocks me as I'm not a subscriber. I searched for a March 14 auction but could not see it on their site. Is there another link? I know there is a very large private collection that Ruben Garcia is helping to liquidate.

Gerry, I didn't show all my beach trash.

Flak, Thanks for the post. This might be the only game (little nuggets) close to town for a few weeks. I'm going to try and make a day trip or two also. I've already copied down some of the setting from the 'faint gold signal' threads to use. Even with those settings I may still choose the wrong spots to hunt but I hope I can see some of those ancient (10+ year) dig holes to motivate me. Saturday and Sunday I was out at the beach and that was barely social distancing. Mitchel

Keep your social distance Norvic! I don't want you on my patch. That would be anywhere in the northern hemisphere. 😁

We do need to know where we can detect. Sometimes it is how you say things and inform others. If you can't get around right now because of international flights, interstate travel and have stay at home rules are in effect then I think it can be stated. This is a ramble and ramble back. I can't guarantee that all posts will remain especially if someone insists on poking the bear. When that happens we all have to run. 🤫

That leaves all the gold for you fellas that are on it! How do they stop you at the state lines? Have the freeways been closed? I was giving some thought for a day trip to our desert one day this week. Are businesses are closed except for those that are essential. I know I could get gas at my truck stop and not have to stop anywhere that people would be.
