  1. Thanks for the beautiful scenes and I love the gold from that area.

    Glad you have a great spot to find some nice size gold when you sluice, and I bet that creek has a lot of it in there.

    I would be taking some bigger equipment to that spot to find a lot more of that gold. Don't get me wrong when I say big equipment as I am talking about a small personal tractor with a bucket on it and a small trommel.

    Good luck on your next hunt and good going on the gold.

  2. I find that when I am water hunting, I am constantly ground balancing because of hot rocks, black sand, and the ground changing all the time.

    To compensate for this I turn down the sense and work from there. I do lose some depth, but I can detect with less noise and less falsing .

    I found that one has to take the good with the bad when detecting creeks and streams, but the rewards are great if you just keep working at it.

  3. Welcome to the forum and I bet that you already know that we are here to help support all who wish to learn.

    Many people on here can help with any questions that you have and give you some good advice for your equipment.

    Since I am just a newbie here I can tell you that using your detector and knowing what it is saying to you will help so much. It will take time and patience to learn the better part of your machine, but stay with it for the rewards down the road.

    Good luck and stay safe out there.

  4. Welcome to the forum and glad that you have made it here.

    You will find many people here that will help you with any questions about your new detector and help you along the way to some great finds. I see that you are in a very good location to find almost anything you would want.

    Good luck and I am sure that we will be reading about some of your finds soon, don't forget to add some pictures for us to see your beautiful area.

  5. I want to thank everyone who replied on this thread as I have been thinking about getting a new detector so I could retire grandfathers 800.

    It sounds as if there is very little difference in depth and performance of the 2 detectors, and they also have the same issues with EMI.

    My area has a lot of EMI even out in the country as the power company uses a lot of WI-FI to the home electric meters.

    I guess I will hold on to the 800, learn it more, and try to make grandfather proud that he left it to me.

     

  6. Welcome to the forum as we are always looking forward to hearing from new people about their finds.

    I am sure that someone here can help you with the laws of your state or your local laws.

    I usually get permission from some farm owners to hunt on their properties, look at old maps just to find old parks or schools, and then I start detecting those areas when I have time to get out.

    Good luck and good hunting.

  7. Welcome to the forum and glad to have you here with us.

    Should you need anything about detectors don't hesitate to ask as there are plenty of people here that will have the answers for you.
